SHINE WITHOUT THE SWEAT

Text by Daniel Whittaker Photos by VCG, Gaopin Translation by Janet

Just because it's a hot and humid mess outside at this time of year doesn't mean that you can't be looking your best. After all, both your professional career and your social calendar don't come to a grinding halt just because those thermometers ruthlessly climb above 35 degrees Celsius. Don't fret gents, as there are many solutions to these dapper concerns, and with some guidance and a dash of ingenuity, you'll have your smart summer wardrobe set to impress.

有温度，也要风度

炎炎烈日，该怎样避免汗流浃背的尴尬？ 毕竟，你的职业生涯与社交日历都不会因为温度计无情攀升到35摄氏度以上而停止。来点创意，让夏天的衣橱聪明起来。

Thom Browne新款

Seersucker

This is an essential summer suit in America, with its mix of smart pastel and white stripes and distinct texture. It is equal parts southern gentlemen and the deviant lad on the prowl sipping a mint julep, which probably explains why it was fi rst mass produced in the spiritual home of such endeavours, New Orleans, Louisiana.

泡泡纱

这是美国人人必备的夏季西装，其巧妙的条纹与独特的纹理结合在一起。不论是南部绅士还是喝着薄荷酒的小青年，都对其深有好感。这可能解释了为什么这种西装最初是在路易斯安那州新奥尔良首次大规模生产的。

Louis Vuitton新款

Summer Cotton

This is the default choice of gentlemen around the globe, and for a good reason, it's both light and airy. We recommend looking for an open weave poplin fabric, as opposed to thicker options like corduroy as this will prevent proper airfl ow. The best test is always checking if you can see through the material when holding it up to light.

夏棉

这是全球绅士夏季的默认选择，理由很简单，它既轻便又通风。可选择轻薄透气的府绸面料，相比灯芯绒等较厚的面料，更加令人舒适。

Classic Summer Styles

Here are some examples of summer suits that have conquered the test of time, and feature the perfect combination of lightweight fabrics and classic debonair attitude.

经典夏日feel

以下是一些经过时间检验的夏季西装款式，将轻巧面料与文雅风度完美结合。

Fresco Wool

If you've seen a James Bond fi lm that takes place in a tropical location, then 007 is likely wearing one of these summer friendly wool suits. A name like fresco hints that a suit made from this fabric is meant to be worn out on the town when the temperature begins to rise. Perfect if you do much of your business over an al fresco brunch.

巴拿马

如果您看过在热带地区拍摄的詹姆斯·邦德电影，你会发现007经常穿着这种夏季友好的西装。Fresco (凉爽户外)一词暗示着这种面料可能无法承受城市高温，如果能在户外早午餐中完成大部分业务，那就完美了。

Linen

Linen is one of the most sought after classic summer fabrics because of its lightweight, open weave and casual structure. Though a bit coarser than both fi ne merino wool or cotton fi bres, it wrinkles graciously providing the perfect mix of business casual cool and classy tropical sensibility if paired with a vintage Acapulco shirt.

亚麻

因为具有轻巧，透气和休闲气质，亚麻是最受追捧的经典夏季面料之一。虽然比美利奴或纯棉面料略显粗糙，但如果搭配复古的阿卡普尔科衬衫，可将商务休闲风与和经典热带感完美结合，就算褶皱也显得很优雅。
