A quality summer jacket is not only recognizable by the low weight of the fabric. The breathability of the material, the lightweight construction and the limited amount of lining are also important. Linen has a natural and relaxed feel, fresco wool holds its shape better and wrinkle less, while seersucker, thanks to its wavy structure, does not lie flat on the body.
A summer jacket can be worn to a wedding, to the office and as a replacement for a light jacket. Combine it with a linen or cotton shirt, a knitted polo shirt, light trousers and loafers. For less formal occasions, it can also work with a clean T-shirt and chinos.
