Look cool, feel cool and sweat less
You often hear that summer is the hardest season to dress for—and there's definitely some truth to that statement. But just because it's hot and humid outside, doesn't mean you can't look sharp and put together when you leave the comforts of air conditioning. Yes, you're wearing less clothing overall, but if you choose wisely you can breeze through the dog days with cool confidence. The key is upgrading your summer wardrobe with seasonal staples built for ultimate breathability and lightweight accessories that add intriguing details while also helping you sweat less. We've worked with the styling team at MR PORTER to put together some suggestions to maximize breathability and comfort without sacrificing elegance.
This type of shirt is your ultimate workhorse for hot weather. Flowy and built to blow in the breeze, a boxy camp collar shirt can be worn buttoned-up or open over a tank—at work, after hours and on the weekend.

Suede is an ideal sandal material for summertime. It’s softer and more casual than standard leather. Which means less time to break-in.
