10 Summer Suits Under $500

Written by Washingtonian Staff | Published on July 1, 2013

Looking for that European style at a retail price? Voilà: H&M. Beige linen blazer,
$69.95, and linen pants, $29.95, both at
H&M.
This suit gives a nod to this year’s trendy cadet blue
trend. Homme light blue Walton cotton suit, $280 at Topman.
So you’re dead set on linen? Then head over to Suitsupply for
the perfect tailoring to keep the fabric trim. Lazio light grey linen
suit, $469 at Suitsupply.
Classic and clean won’t steer you wrong. Brooks Brothers
dominates the traditional style game. Madison fit poplin cotton suit in Stone, $348.60 at Brooks Brothers.
Both a light fabric and a check pattern are a strong fighting
duo against sweat. Linen check peak lapel blazer, $298, and linen check smarty
pants
, $148, both at
Gant.
If your hosts are planning a hipster-y backyard shindig,
try sporting a mesh blazer over some chinos. Charles & ½ mesh blazer, $79, and Globe Goodstock chino pant,
$55, both at Urban Outfitters.
It’s J.Crew’s Ludlow. Need we say more? Ludlow linen suit jacket, $298, and Ludlow linen suit trousers, $153, both at J. Crew.
If color is your thing, then work this pastel-and-white pairing. Fresh faded pastel blazer in Nectarine,
$220, and Gainsbourg slim fit high chino in white, $115, both at Scotch & Soda.
We were sold at the mention of seersucker, too. Navy seersucker suit jacket,
$180, and micro-stripe suit trouser,
$100, both at Banana Republic.
Subtle detail + Brooks Brothers. It’s a win-win. Madison fit plaid linen suit, $488.60 at Brooks Brothers.
