In spite of a snow flurry today, it’s time to start thinking about your spring/summer wardrobe! Up state in NY, I get asked a lot about outfits for the Saratoga Track Season…end of July and August.

One of my recommendations is a Linen & Wool suit from Vitale Barberis Canonico. This fabric looks like linen, but does not wrinkle as easily! Made with a 1/2 back, it is extremely light for the hottest days summer can throw at us during track season, or wedding or graduation days!

Moreover, this suit is a versatile workhorse! The jacket can be paired with a pair of cotton/lycra white pants for a dressy casual look, or over jeans!

Here, I detailed this suit with white bone buttons for spring/summer for the Northeast…through September 30.  Then, I switch out the buttons to a great blue marbled bone button…perfect for the rest of the year…through April 1.

Now, the fun starts here…switch out the suit pants for a custom-made pair of white cotton/lycra pants…styled as slim flat fronts or 5-pocket jeans, and you’ve got a perfect dressy casual outfit.  Add a pop of color with a custom casual shirt and you are ready for Saratoga or any other summer occasion…member-guest at your golf club, wedding, cocktail party, etc.

Dressy casual doesn’t get any better!

Finally, pair with your favorite jeans and this outfit just keeps on tickin!

Call your local custom clothier to discuss an outfit like this or feel free to contact me for a consultation.
