’80s short suits are making a comeback this season! Wearing a suit in the summer is actually possible and not as sweaty as you may think. Endure the heatwaves in style by dressing in cool fabrics with shorter lengths than your average full bodysuit. Choose from new or vintage short suits in stores or online. If you already have lightweight blazers currently in your closet, simply find matching bottoms to easily transition from winter to summer and save on cash. When you combine a tailored blazer and lightweight shorts, you get a power short suit that’ll make you feel like an unstoppable force!
