Dressing for the Weather: Spring Fabrics

Apart from blooming flowers and open windows, one of the most noticeable changes during the spring season is your wardrobe. Topcoats, scarves and gloves become sunglasses and cool lightweight fabrics. With the arrival of warmer weather comes a handful of fabrics designed to keep you feeling cool, fresh and fashionable. 

Rivoli Linen- This airy, breathable fabric is wrinkle resistant. Linen is blended with tropical lightweight wool.  It looks and breaths like linen but you retain that crisp look throughout the day and into the evening.

100% Linen- This classic, comfortable fabric is light and airy making it perfect for warm weather. It’s good for all occasions and can be kept casual or dressed up with a pocket square and necktie.

Blends- You can get the benefits of linen, silk, cotton and tropical weight wool with a versatile blend of these lightweight, spring-friendly fabrics.

Seersuckers and madras plaids-These fabrics are made with cotton and hang away from the skin, providing a cooling effect with air circulation while offering style in a variety of colors and patterns. 

Get this season’s signature look: Skip the flat chocolate brown or the quintessential tan suit and pair a french blue or lavender dress shirt with a light, tobacco shade for a striking and stylish look that’s perfect for spring.

Spring Fashion Tip #1: An affordable way to add vibrance and color to your suits and sportcoats is to add a boldly colored or patterned pocket square.

Tip #2: A year in the closet can take a toll on even the most well-made clothes. Take an inventory of your warm weather wardrobe and if you’re missing a button or two or just happened to lose or gain a few pounds come in and see our master tailor. He can give you back the perfect fit. Bring in your favorites now so you’ll be prepared before the warm weather rush. 
Whether your suits need sprucing up or you’re looking to add new attire, Savile Row can accommodate all your needs for the spring season.
