“It’s getting hot in here,” as Nelly famously once said. “So take off all your clothes.” That is, of course, an option, if not necessarily the right one. Socially, even legally, nudity in public is often frowned upon. What we cannot stress enough, however, is that getting dressed during a heatwave can be a challenge for even the best of us.

The thing about the suit is that no two tailoring brands, and their respective designs, are the same. Geographical and cultural influences, among others, make each different in multiple ways. This can range from the style of the chest pocket (the Italians like ones that resemble a little boat), the width of the lapels (the French favour big and bold), a sleek-yet-modern approach (unsurprisingly, the Swedes are proponents of this). Or the padding in the shoulders (the British have always been known to bolster their jackets; certain American brands like little to none).

Few American tailoring houses have built a cult following as quietly, or as convincingly, as J. Mueser. Founded in New York in 2008 by the affable Jake Mueser, the brand has since become a reference point for modern men the world over who want to wear tailoring that feels elegant without appearing overly strict. The approach is instead soft, easy and deeply considered design and craft.

Put away the down gilets, the rollnecks, the scarves, gloves and beanie hats. Summer is coming. Isn’t the warmth of the sun delicious? So, what are you going to wear to shine just as brightly? Dressing for winter is simple. Just pile on one chunky layer after the other. But summer is all about taking clothes off. Now, if you’re a 22-year-old guy, slipping on a shirt and pair of jeans, two silver bracelets and a pendant can hold sway about 75 per cent of the time. But when you’ve recently received an invite to your 40th anniversary school reunion, may I suggest you dress with a commitment to more strategy and flattery.
