Tropical Wool: Dressing Up in Summer

As temperatures rise, many men struggle to maintain a polished look while staying comfortable in the sweltering heat.

You might have to regularly attend business meetings and absolutely hate wearing suits because of how hot it makes you, or you have a wedding planned for Summer and you're worried about sweating profusely during your special moment.

While you can go for linen/cotton suits or blends, they're on the casual side which doesn't fit the setting you're going to be in. Plus, you might not necessarily like the easy crinkling of those fabrics in your suits.

So, what do you do?

Queue— Tropical wool. The go-to solution for stylish summer tailoring for formal settings.

What is Tropical Wool?

Tropical wool is a lightweight, breathable fabric specifically designed for warm weather. Made from high-quality merino wool fibres woven in an open, airy structure, this innovative material offers the best of both worlds: the refined appearance of traditional wool with the comfort and breathability needed for summer.

But can’t I just wear lightweight wool for Summer?

While lighter weight wool can be less hot to wear in the summer, it won’t have that weave specifically designed for air to flow through. Tropical wool on the other hand has that open and porous weave that is made for air to flow through.

Even better, they’re often made with wool fibres that are twisted together more tightly than average wool. This gives your garment a crisp and cooler feel on the body that is also durable and wrinkle resistant. So if you’re after breathability, you’ll enjoy wearing tropical wool.

What are the key benefits of tropical wool?

Despite its name, it’s suitable for wear in various climates, not just tropical ones, but its key benefits especially shine during Summer. Here are the benefits to tropical wool:

Breathability:

Tropical wool has properties that allow it to regulate body temperature effectively. The fabric’s open weave allows air to circulate, keeping you cool in warm weather while still providing insulation when needed. Couple this with wool’s natural moisture-wicking properties and you have a great cooling garment for Summer.

Wrinkle-resistance:

Tropical wool naturally resists wrinkles, making it an ideal choice for travel, long days at the office, or looking neat throughout your wedding day. This quality ensures you look crisp and put-together, even in humid conditions, so you can maintain a crisp and polished look throughout the day

Durability:

Tropical wool is made of high-twist yarns that when paired with wool’s inherent elasticity and tensile strength, makes a strong and resilient fabric structure that retains its quality over time.

Versatility:

From formal summer suits to casual sports jackets, a lot of garments and Summer outfits can be made in tropical wool. Its adaptability makes it a staple in luxury menswear collections from brands like Canali.

Whether you’re looking for Summer business attire, a Summer sports jacket, or a full Summer suit, tropical wool is an excellent choice for staying cool and being appropriately dressed for formal settings in the warmer weather.

Conclusion

Tropical wool is an exceptional fabric choice for summer menswear, offering lots of comfort, style, and versatility. Whether you’re investing in a luxury suit from Canali or adding a few key pieces to your summer business casual wardrobe, tropical wool garments are sure to keep you looking and feeling cool all season long.

If you're someone who can't bear the heat well and needs to be in a suit even in the Summer, you'll enjoy Summer wool. From boardroom meetings, team lunches at your go-to, or the vineyards where you'll be saying "I do", you'll find yourself continuing to be dressed appropriately while navigating the warmer months in style.
