While a flawlessly-tailored suit will be in style all year long, the fabric in question is where it gets a bit more seasonal. Think about it. If you were to step out in a heavy wool suit in July, you’d probably combust in a pool of sweat 30 seconds after cruising outside. On those hot summer days, a lightweight style is key for that polished and comfortable (ahem, non-suffocating) look. Here are a few more specific pointers to keep in mind.

To save you the trouble of finding the perfect summer suit, we’re doing the work right here with 12 of the very best options out there. You’ll stay cool and look cool all season long. No sweat.

Dark Green Suit

This sharp, all-season option from SuitShop isn’t just a green suit—it’s a *green* suit. Made from 38 percent recycled polyester—the equivalent of about 25 water bottles—it’s a signature of the brand’s new eco collection, a big step toward what SuitShop hopes will become a fully sustainable and compostable line of apparel. Perhaps just as important, it looks and feels great thanks in part to the top-notch tailoring and construction, as well as the 5 percent spandex that gives the fabric plenty of room to stretch once you transition from dinner to the dance floor.

Stockport Wool Linen Light Blue Suit

The light blue color mixed with the wool-linen fabric blend makes this suit a top-notch choice to avoid sweating all day at the office.

Looking for a way to wear color without stepping too far out of your comfort zone? Look no further—olive green is practically a neutral. Sport it with a pair of brown leather oxford shoes to dress your look up. This seersucker suit will look especially good with a pair of tortoiseshell sunglasses, too.

Tencel Linen Blend Double Breasted Blazer

Linen Blend Pleated Trousers

$210 at Reiss

If you’re in the market for a darker suit, consider a lightweight option like this one with some visual texture to wear in the summer.

A lightweight suit with softer constructions will appear sloppy when not properly tailored. Sure, a looser suit makes sense in theory for more comfort, but it’s not the fit that will actually keep you cool, it’s the fabric—so don’t get lazy and skip the tailor.

You’ll have the best luck not sweating it all out by sticking to lighter and brighter colors like pastels and soft grays to absorb heat. If you are going for a black or navy style for an elevated vibe, just keep the above fabric and fit notes in mind.

As we mentioned, thick wool suits are a no-go as the temperatures start rising, but thankfully there’s the option of tropical wool that’s woven with larger gaps for breathability. Also look for a linen-wool blend or an option made out of 100% linen, cotton twill, or seersucker for breathable fabrics. When it comes to the construction of your lightweight suit, unlined and unstructured suits will also keep you much cooler in the summer months.
