What to Wear by the Seashore

Last week, we posted suggestions for what men should wear on a Cape Cod weekend trip this summer.
So, how about a post for our female readers?

9tailors offers a variety of women's shirts as well!

Not only collared shirts, but sleeveless and other styles.

Below are a few color suggestions and accessories to pair with your outfit. We suggest lightweight, cotton fabrics that are lighter colors to keep you cool. Sheer fabrics also breathe well and are perfect for a successful summer style.

Try nautical-themed accessories to match your oceanside activities for the weekend.

Or, even try a single piece, such as a necklace or sunglasses, in a bold color to add a "pop" to your wardrobe!

Summer Fabric Tutorial

It's starting to get seriously hot and muggy around here. What are the best fabrics for this climate?

Generally, naturally-derived fabrics such as cotton, silk, and linen are the most breathable in hot weather. Man-made fabrics such as polyester do not breathe as easily, causing you to feel wet and sticky all day.

For men, linen and cotton are both great options. Both fabrics are easy-care, and dry quickly. Lightweight, 100% cotton shirts such as the one below will keep you looking cool and crisp.

A great option for women is a silk-cotton blend. It is easy to care for (doesn't require the gentle care of many 100% silk items), and is very lightweight, flowy, and comfortable. Not to mention that it is a very pretty fabric! Cotton-silk blend blouses like the one below will be pretty and perfect for the summer. And we have a whole rainbow of colors to choose from!

Those Summer Nights

How should you add a little something extra to your wardrobe before heading to your favorite evening spot this summer?
We have a few tips for you:

• A cotton suit jacket or sport coat paired with a clean, dark denim. Or even go preppy with white straight-leg jeans or chinos.

• A cotton skinny tie to look trim and stylish yet casual.

• A cotton pocket square for a dressed-up look with summer charm!

Summer Accents

It's really hot today! Fortunately we have a new air conditioner in the studio. But this summer heat reminded me of a new fabric that came in...complete with sharks. Do you like it?
