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.

We live in a world governed by rules, guidelines, and structures that we must follow. You follow the law, so you don't go to jail. You follow protocols at work, so you don't get fired. And you do what your significant other wishes, so you don't have to download the dating apps again. Men's fashion is unfortunately the same way. There are things every man should know when they set out to discover their style identity.

When I first got into men's style consulting, selling suits, and helping men discover their best selves through their presentation, I was shocked at how often we had to review these fundamentals to give them a firm grasp of their style before we even started talking about overhauling their closet.

When you get ready for the summer months, your warm-weather wardrobe comes out of storage and takes center stage in your closet. While there are many garments for your summer wardrobe that are staples, such as shorts, tees, and sandals, there is one area that gets a little more complicated—event wear. The truth is, few people are excited to wear a suit when the weather gets warmer. Layered up under a jacket and tie is the last thing you want when attending an event in 90-100 degree heat. That's why you want to invest in a linen suit, something made from natural fibers, to allow yourself to enjoy the breeze. However needed a good linen suit is, a lot of guys can't drop typical suit money on one that can only be worn for a part of the year. That is where The Tie Bar comes in this season. The Tie Bar suits under $400 now come in linen, offering a comfortable, warm-weather alternative without the need to pay more.
