Are you thinking about sunnier skies? Me too.  Happily, the big Easter get-away is just around the corner and warmer spring days are not that far away either. Anyone who has ever sweltered through a warm day in a suffocating heavier weight suit jacket knows that a little planning ahead goes a long way to achieving the luxurious style of a modern global traveller.

In the heat, the cool business option is often a suit, providing the suit is made from light-gauge, breathable fabrics such as merino wool, tropical wool, mohair, linen or poplin. The ideal thread count for spring summer cloth is 130-140; the ideal weight 240-280g. Get the weight and the colour right, and despite the heat, spring suits can be both elegant and practical.

Classic appeal is always elegant and refined, which is why, whatever the season, we champion the navy or grey suit. A simple two colour outfit, navy and white or grey and white, is a clean, mature and well put together look without any unnecessary distractions. For a fresh spring look, try replacing dark charcoal with a lighter grey spring-appropriate fabric and select a lightweight navy herringbone for subtle interest by way of texture. Fully lined, half lined or unlined, in the right fabric, this suit jacket can be extremely versatile.
