Jackets

Warm-weather materials: breathable, lightweight, durable

• Linen and linen blends: Linen is the quintessential summer fiber: cool, natural, and with a noble wrinkle. In its pure form or blended with cotton or wool, it offers an elegant texture and excellent breathability.
• "Tropical" wool (fresco lana): Offers thermoregulation and shape retention, with a dry handfeel and lightweight. Seersucker, with its crinkled and airy texture, adds a summery and casual touch.
• Cotton, gabardine, and technical jersey: Compact or stretch cottons balance comfort and clean lines; technical jersey and "travel" fabrics ensure freedom of movement, wrinkle resistance, and quick drying.

Styles and details that make a difference

• Single-breasted 2-button: The most versatile, ideal for everything from the office to smart casual occasions.
• Double-breasted 6-button: More assertive and refined, perfect for events and evenings.
• Classic or peak lapel: The former is versatile, the latter more formal and striking.
• Pockets: Patch pockets for a relaxed mood; jetted or flap pockets for a more elegant look.
• Shoulders: "Shirt-style" soft and natural; structured for a more defined silhouette.
• Lining: Unlined or half-lined for maximum lightness and breathability.

How to choose a men's elegant jacket?

Fit and proportions

• Fit: Should be comfortable across the chest, without tension at the buttons.
• Shoulders: The seam ends in line with the shoulder bone, without protruding.
• Length: Approximately covers the hips; can be slightly shorter on more slender physiques.
• Sleeves: Show 1–1.5 cm of cuff; very easy to finish with minor alterations.

Size and drop

Choose the size based on your chest and shoulder point; the drop defines the fit at the waist. Summer jackets can be slightly slimmer as long as they don't restrict movement.

Fabric and occasion

• Office: Fresco wool or wool blend with a breathable weave, light blue and grey colors.
• Ceremony: Double-breasted or single-breasted with peak lapel, sand, dove gray, dusty blue, or navy blue shades.
• Smart casual: Linen or cotton with patch pockets, natural and pastel tones.

How to style an elegant jacket in Spring Summer?

• With fresco wool or stretch cotton trousers and a poplin shirt for the office.
• With sand or white chinos and a knitted polo shirt for smart weekend wear.
• With clean dark denim and loafers or minimalist sneakers for relaxed elegance.
• Accessories: Tone-on-tone belt, linen pocket square, essential watch; smooth leather or suede shoes.

Care and maintenance of summer jackets

• No washing machine: Prefer professional cleaning when necessary.
• Between wears: Hang on a wide hanger, lightly steam, and brush the fabric.
• When traveling: Pack the jacket turned inside out (roll technique) or in a garment bag to minimize creases.

Colors and textures for the warm season

Navy blue, pearl gray, sand beige, dove gray, and sage green are key palettes. Micro-patterns, mélange effects, and seersucker stripes add depth without being heavy. For evening, deep blue or light charcoal maintain a formal allure even with unlined constructions.

Occasions: from business to ceremonies

• Daily business: Single-breasted 2-button fresco wool jacket, light shirt, and Oxfords.
• Daytime ceremonies: Linen or linen-wool blend in light tones, twill shirt, and loafers.
• Evening events: Double-breasted blue jacket with peak lapel, coordinated or tone-on-tone trousers.
