Winter is officially here, and for all your elevated, dressed up occasions, you’re going to need something that can withstand the cold climate. That means: it's time to find the perfect winter suit.
If you did don a suit in summer, maybe for a wedding or other formal engagement that you simply couldn’t get out of, you’re already ahead of the game. I’m guessing that you understand that, when it comes to seasonal dressing, it really boils down to fabric selection. Linen, poplin, seersucker, and cotton twill options do wonders at events where the sun is high and the atmosphere is damp. These won’t work for winter. Anything light, airy, and breathable just won’t cut in when it’s snowing and the temperature is below 30 degrees.
What you should be looking for is a suit made of wool, preferably ones that are 100 percent or close to it. Cashmere blends are incredibly insulating, too. And corduroy—a cotton, yes—is also great, because of its tight construction, which prevents heat from escaping your body and the cold from creeping in. Note: The suits made of these fibers don’t necessarily have to be heavy-duty, unless you plan on standing outdoors for a prolonged period. They just have to be warm enough to get you from your front door to the office. And we have 10 of the best winter suits that’ll do just that.
