Keeping rakish in the heat

A UK Summer usually consists of a few days of sun while you are at work, and torrential rain over bank holidays and weekends. 2013 is different. We have already had a cracking Summer and forecasts are that the sun will keep shining for at least another month. It is marvellous news. Although it does present gents with a certain style problem. How does one stay rakish in the heat? I have struggled with wearing suits in the day and am avoiding ties as much as possible. Denim is not forgiving for hot evenings. Below I have compiled a few pieces that will keep you looking and feeling stylish in the heat. Should they fail, I would recommend carrying a little electric hand held fan inside your suit jacket. I have chosen items from designer online retailers Mr Porter and Matches Fashion, as well as high street brands Zara and Topman.
