SOFTLY, SOFTLY

Summer tailoring calls for a lighter touch, which is why many opt for half-canvas or deconstructed suits – the former literally means that the canvas that makes up the ‘backbone’ only runs to the chest and leaves the back free and soft. British house Oliver Brown has introduced a range of lightweight variants on traditional suits for summer, with cotton poplin and seersucker just the sartorial ticket for a wedding guest.
