Wax London is a relatively young brand, but it’s already making a big splash in the fashion world. From Bradley Cooper sporting the Whiting Overshirt (their number one seller) to other celebrities adopting it, the brand, founded in 2015, is becoming one of the go-to shops for England. They have a desire to grow slow fashion, using locally sourced and sustainable processes, and fabrics inspired by London life, revolving around family, music, outdoor sports, and coming together. All of that is great, of course, but what keeps them going is the style they bring. The Wax London summer suiting 2025 drop has just arrived, and it’s a linen lover’s dream. Sure, you have the blue, brown, tan, and beige options that linen suits are commonly found in, but with the Wax London drop, you can also pick up pink, orange, and the confidence to stand out among the crowds.

Get your linen suit ready for the summer

Any of your seasonal suits coming out of storage will need a bit of a refresh before you wear them out. It is the nature of a seasonal garment. However, it’s more than just getting the musty storage smell out of the clothes. For a linen suit, you’ll also have to contend with wrinkles. Linen is a light and breathable fabric that will pick up wrinkles all day, no matter how careful you are, so embracing the disheveled look is a must. However, that doesn’t mean they should go on wrinkled, so you’ll need to break out the steamer for the initial wear. Whether you are electing last year’s linen or a new one from Wax London, it is getting close to the time when you will need to start making preparations to be the center of attention.

Style hacks: Your suit should come with two pairs of pants
Remedy one of the biggest struggles with suits with this one hack
Man in Men's Wearhouse Blue Suit

When I first started selling suits, it was mostly to men who were leaving the military and starting as aides to politicians, or men working as doctors, lawyers, or accountants. Then, of course, you had the lucrative wedding business. But one thing was common among every man I sold suits to: They were hardworking and spent their days getting things done.

Now, while this sounds honorable and a fantastic way for a man to live life, working hard and providing for his family, there are some setbacks or some side effects to this lifestyle. One of them is the impact it has on your best suits. Suit pants for men are typically lighter, with an elevated fabric that doesn't always stand up to the more rigorous work of the hardest-working men. Therefore, there's a hack that you should start implementing in your suit shopping every chance you get. Every suit you own should come with a second pair of pants. It will save you years of heartache.

Find your inner explorer with Huckberry's help
Huckberry jacket

We were never meant to drive a desk. We were never designed to spend our days in a cubicle. We were designed to live under the sky with the sun and the stars able to stare down on us. We have long since forged a world of comfort, with customs of living indoors, safe from the dangerous sun and the deadly predators that roam at night. And ever since we forged that world, we've started to lose our connection to the great outdoors. That is why Huckberry is one of the most important brands for a man looking to reconnect with and recapture the spirit of our ancestors. But combining explorer's wear with fashion wasn't enough for Huckberry, they also want to send you on the adventure of a lifetime. They just wrapped up the fifth edition of the Huckberry Explorer's Grant, sending "John B. from North Carolina" on one of five life-changing adventures.
