Back when I used to wear suits in the tropics I wore JCrew - the super 120s wool and they also had cotton and linen options. <br />&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everybody-i-need-summer-weight-suiting#post-1337891 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 17:27:00 +0000 catgirl 1337891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>j. crew?&nbsp; Theory was my first thought, of course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everybody-i-need-summer-weight-suiting#post-1337874 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 17:01:02 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1337874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you want wool only or are synthetic blends an option? If you have a Banana Republic Factory Store in your area, I was just in our local one, and a lot of the suiting in lighter colors/weights was on end of season clearance. Same at Ann Taylor Factory Store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everybody-i-need-summer-weight-suiting#post-1337866 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 16:46:04 +0000 unfrumped 1337866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love seeing summer suits in lighter colors, but sometimes it's hard to line up the quality, fit, and fabric in less common colors. Can you wear light grays?<br />Otherwise, another option is to work on summerizing darker neutrals--navy, for example, or even black, with nude shoes, specatator shoes, and ligher tops and accessories.<br />Not sure if your main goal is just expanding your suit options or specifically getting a more "summery" look. And, do you consider tropical weight wool as summer-okay, or are you looking for super tropical items such as seersucker or cotton or linen blends? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everybody-i-need-summer-weight-suiting#post-1337789 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 15:01:38 +0000 Sveta 1337789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Watching this tread with an interest </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everybody-i-need-summer-weight-suiting#post-1337760 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 14:18:49 +0000 Angie 1337760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try J.Crew too. In a Petite.&nbsp;</p> <p>And Reiss.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everybody-i-need-summer-weight-suiting#post-1337758 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 14:16:33 +0000 Suz 1337758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Again, in the spring, Elie Tahari had some gorgeous ones -- Janet bought one in Boston that was really lovely. She's not wearing it under a suit, mind you. But it could be worn that way.&nbsp;</p> <p>Tops are easier, I think. Once you find the right jackets.&nbsp;</p> <p>Club Monaco has less classic styles than the one I showed -- I just posted it as a kind of placeholder. You can find other stuff. Tops are usually interesting, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everybody-i-need-summer-weight-suiting#post-1337754 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 14:14:33 +0000 bj1111 1337754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Suz and Dianthus.</p> <p>Theory looks a bit boring except for the lanai. I think i just have to get out there and try stuff on.</p> <p>I also need tops to go under. Any suggestions? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everybody-i-need-summer-weight-suiting#post-1337661 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 12:21:43 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1337661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The super 120s wool line from J Crew would probably work. &nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.jcrew.com/ca/womens_category/suiting/super120s.jsp">https://www.jcrew.com/ca/women.....er120s.jsp</a></p> <p>I have a skirt in this fabric and it is very nice and not heavy at all. &nbsp;My son also has a few suits in super 120 or 130 and the feel of the wool is very nice.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everybody-i-need-summer-weight-suiting#post-1337649 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 12:12:58 +0000 Suz 1337649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, so Theory is a no go because you already have?&nbsp;</p> <p>I would stlll check those sales because I know they did the Gabe in lighter colours this year. And if you can wear the Lanai, that one, also.&nbsp;</p> <p>My new suit is probably not technically summer weight but it is definitely lighter weight and cross seasonal -- that is Elie Tahari and is a lovely, lovely quality .</p> <p>How about Reiss for another option? Love my blazer from them. Again, not summer weight, but they did have a summer collection.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would also take a look at Club Monaco.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everybody-i-need-summer-weight-suiting#post-1337621 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 11:38:53 +0000 bj1111 1337621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I normally do not travel in the summer and have made do. This year and probably for the next few, I will need summer weight suiting. A jacket or two, pants with some tops that are lighter color or fabrication that is season appropriate.</p> <p>Any tips on stores etc? Hoping this coincides with any end of season sales that I can wear this f/w for winter mtgs at warm locations.</p> <p>Thanks! And my work mates (who are tired of the same theory jacket and blouse) thank you. </p>
