I don't post about men's wear too often here, but I do welcome summer when men can break out linen suits, cotton poplin suits, and lighter-coloured suits.When we were in London last, Mr. C bought a Hugo Boss tan linen suit that I coveted. (I remember buying a tobacco linen trouser suit from Jaeger while still an undergraduate. The nerve!)
So here's a mini collection of tan suits from labels including J Press and Brooks Brothers (those bastions of preppydom) as well as Boss and a couple of unknown but stylish looks.
I typically get my personal tan at the beach or by the pool, but countless media reports tell me that's dangerous. I've never seen a report about the tan suit being hazardous to one's health, though, so I think we're safe.

Husband doesn't have a tan linen suit, but did buy a tan linen jacket in Paris a few summers ago which sees lots of wear. Then this past trip, he bought a pair of cream linen slim-cut pants at Zara in Bordeaux -- not particularly a sartorialist, but was delighted to find that they feel like wearing pyjamas (his characterization) but fool the world into thinking he's got some style going on. Love your more upscale survey!
