4 Winter Suits that Don’t Feel Heavy

By Amanda Gabriele January 24, 2014

We love a thick tweed, three-piece suit for its handsome looks and dapper nature. What we don’t love is sweating through it within the first five minutes of wearing because it’s so hot. Even in the dead of winter, an ultra heavyweight suit isn’t always ideal, especially if you’re going to be inside where the heat is on full blast. If you own one, you know the pieces are best worn separately so you’re not roasting from head to toe. Because we strive for comfort without sacrificing an ounce of style, we found the best lightweight winter suits that are also seasonally appropriate. Check out our favorites and make the most of freezing temperatures.

Bonobos The Foundation Slim Suit
Described as “the fundamental suit every man needs on hand”, Bonobos’ Foundation suit is crafted from the finest Italian Marzotto wool and tailored for a modern, elegant fit. Perfect for work and special occasions alike, every man should own a handsome navy suit like this. Bonobos

Club Monaco Grant Glen Plaid Suit
This is not your grandfather’s plaid wool suit. Classically refined, distinguished brown Glen plaid will definitely make you stand out in a sea of boring black. Wear the suit anywhere you please or pair the blazer with dark wash jeans on the weekend. Club Monaco

Hugo Boss James Sharp Trim Fit Wool Suit
We love a grey suit because it brings Don Draper to mind and can be worn during every season of the year. This Hugo Boss version features a richly textured wool fabrication with a slim cut for all-day dapperness and comfort. Nordstrom

Tiger of Sweden Slate Blue Kash Wool Suit
If you’re looking to stray from the suit norm, we’re loving this deep slate blue number from Tiger of Sweden. The pleated pants are cool and modern while the three button closure gives this blazer a different shape than anything you currently have hanging in your closet. SSENSE

Hublot Big Bang Unico Yellow Magic

Yellow watches for men are not for the faint-hearted, and you'll need some serious confidence if you're going to sport one of these eye-catchers on your wrist. With summer just around the corner, a yellow watch is the perfect accessory to brighten up your look, whether you're taking a stroll along the Italian Riviera or lounging at home with steaks on the grill. These citrus-hued watches, from the TAG Heuer Formula 1 to the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver, stand out as a ray of sunshine amid the gloom of rainy spring days, making us dream of the warm breeze and blooming flowers in summer.

Yellow watches come in a hue that commands attention, that's for sure, which is why you see them on road signs and neon highlighters at school. With its inherent ability to captivate, either as a matte yellow or a more lustrous gold, the presence of a yellow dial on your watch will certainly draw attention.

Ditch the fall and winter colors for the spring

Now that spring is here, your wardrobe could use a bit of an update in the color department. While the fall and winter seasons have a bevy of jewel tones and earth tones to keep you nice and cozy, the spring and summer is built for light and fun colors that keep your mood as light as the hues. Spring colors are some of the brightest and lightest on the color wheel, including pastels and lighter tones of your reds, greens, blues, and purples.

When putting together spring colors for men, there are some great options to ensure your looks are always top-notch. One of our favorite resources is Max Israel of Y. Chroma. His entire system is built for ease of color use, and while you may feel a little initial unpleasantness getting outside your comfort zone, adopting these five color combinations will ease you into some more fun palettes and get your wardrobe to the point of being the talk of the town.
