What suit to wear in winter?
In France, most weddings take place during the summer season. However, some major events can also be celebrated in winter. Similarly, some men have to wear a suit all year round to the office. So which one should you choose when winter arrives?
What are the best materials and textiles for a winter suit?
At IZAC, we want to offer you clothes for all your desires and for all styles. That's why we offer suits in different materials. Some fabrics are more suitable for low temperatures and rain.
Wool is ideal for keeping warm. It is very versatile and thick, and is an excellent barrier to the cold. It is suitable for both business and formal wear. Another advantage is that wool does not wrinkle. What's more, given its thickness, it offers a perfect fit!
Are you looking for a brighter, more refined suit? Then silk may be another alternative. Ideal for a winter suit, it is often mixed with other materials such as wool to obtain a warm, fluid and thermoregulating garment.
Finally, cotton velvet is another classic for winter suits. This has the advantage of allowing the body to breathe and avoiding excess perspiration. There are two types of finish: shaved velvet, which is more sober, or corduroy, which stands out because of its vertical lines.
What accessories should you wear with a suit in winter?
Of course, the choice of tie or bow tie is also important. Some models are more summery, while others are more suitable for winter. A tweed or knitted wool tie can add a touch of originality to an outfit. On the other hand, pastel colours are often reserved for fine weather.
Even if you choose a wool or cashmere suit, it is not enough to guarantee perfect insulation to face the cold of winter. That's why it's better to wear it with a coat. Here again, not all models go well with an elegant look. With a winter suit, forget the down jacket and opt for a pea coat or overcoat. The latter have a more formal style. Elegant and ample, they will offer you a certain ease of movement, while completely covering your suit jacket.
For shoes, in winter, Richelieu, Derbies or Chelsea Boots are ideal. On the other hand, avoid moccasins or trainers, which are better suited to short trousers and worn without socks.
