Where To Wear Wax Tailoring This Season

Through patchy rain, stubborn grey skies, and the occasional hail storm, summer is finally showing its face. Football in the park, beachside BBQs, sweaty tube carriages - oh, how we've missed it all. This is the seasonal mindset shift: eyes forward, summer on the horizon bringing all the moments we’ve dreamed of.

And a return like this deserves a proper celebration. In the language of Wax, that means one thing - a summer suit. So before the sun makes its full debut, here's where to wear your tailoring this season.

The Wedding On Home Turf

If there's one date that's been circled in everyone's summer calendar, it's a wedding. And even on home soil, a good one can get warm - so looking the part and staying comfortable isn't a vanity exercise, it's a necessity. The Vigo double-breasted blazer and Aubyn trouser is the suit you need this wedding season. One hundred percent linen means you'll survive the marquee without wilting, and the peak lapel does enough heavy lifting that a white shirt and a striped tie is genuinely all you need. It'll carry you from the ceremony, through three courses, a poorly timed speech, a dance-off with aunt Jude, and whatever happens after midnight - and the only evidence will be a loosened tie and a button or two undone.

Date Night Dinner

"Do you have a table outside?" is a sentence you're unlikely to have uttered in the last six months. But with sunshine and good company on the horizon, it'll be back on your lips soon. So when that first outdoor dinner date comes around, dress for it. The merlot Fintry blazer and Alp trouser - a colourway aptly named for the occasion - is a sophisticated choice. Pair with a light blue shirt and you'll be toasting to many more nights like it.

Office Summer Fridays

We'll say what everyone's thinking: summer Fridays in the office should be outlawed. Alas, they remain - and the only thing that gets us through is knowing the weekend starts the moment you're out the door. So dress like you mean it. The Aldred overshirt and Bayham trouser cotton-linen co-ord set you up for whatever warm-weather plans follow your 9-5 - and make you the best-dressed man in the office before that, too.

The Destination Wedding

Everyone has that one friend who decides their guests should cross the globe for a sweaty wedding. Fortunately, a 100% linen suit means you won't be among those mopping their brow. Lean into the setting and go bold with colour - the rust Fintry blazer and Alp trouser combo was made for sun-soaked surroundings. A destination wedding also gives you licence to ditch the shirt for a vest and still look your best. Sunnies at the ready.

Aperitivos By The Sea

You've spent weeks - maybe months - herding your friends into action via the group chat. It's a thankless job, but these sheep need a shepherd, and with the sun out, they're finally ready to leave the barn. So skip the usual pub and make two seasonal upgrades instead. Head to the seaside, aperitivo in hand, and pretend you're somewhere along the French Riviera. Dress the part too - the complete mid-blue Fintry and Alp suit, finished with a carefree open-collar polo. Now that's a well-dressed shepherd.

The Festival Weekend

Summer and festival season were made for each other. You've got your phone charger, your sun cream, and a pocket full of wet wipes - but the real decision, the one that sets the tone for the whole weekend, is what you're wearing. Allow us to make that easy. The black Strand jacket and Aubyn trouser co-ord is your answer. Lightweight enough to survive an afternoon baking in a field, put-together enough to hold its own wherever the night takes you, and distinctive enough that your mates might actually stand a chance of spotting you in the crowd.

Ahead of The Dress Code

Sometimes, an occasion is sprung on you. Rooftop drinks. A gallery opening. Centre court at Wimbledon. When the invite lands, you need a suit that's already ready - and impressive enough to make it look like you planned it all along. The natural Vigo double-breasted suit isn't built around an occasion, it's built around the person wearing it. Wedding plus one? You're the most interesting person in the room. Smart casual? You've lapped the field. No dress code at all? Even better. Show up, look the part, and make it look effortless. That's the point.
