Shecky’s

It’s steamy outside and the last thing you want to wear is a heavy suit. If you work in a corporate environment, forgoing a suit this summer may not be an option. We found some pants and skirt suits that’ll keep you looking Workchic and cool at the same time!

Summer Suiting Tips

The one tip to remember when picking out a summer suit is to be conscious of the fabric. Try to stick with lightweights, such as linen or cotton blends. What if you only own or want to wear wool suits? Just keep in mind that tropical wool is cooler than wool gabardine.

Think of your suit as separates that you can also utilize by wearing them on casual Friday or when you don’t have to wear a suit to the office.
