Bold and Bright

5 style tips for your summer look from Dallas' newest menswear store

Summer is here, but that doesn't mean your suit style can't be summer friendly. Indochino, a leading maker of made-to-measure menswear, has curated the ideal summer collection to inspire you to show off your personal style and dress to impress.

Indochino's unique system allows customers to become a designer, choosing from millions of possible combinations to customize their own distinct suits and shirts. Garments are then made to their precise measurements and shipped directly to their residence within three weeks. Stop into the Dallas showroom today to design your own new look.

Here are the top five styling tips to help you stand out among the fashion crowd:

1. Go bold with patterns
A day at the races is the perfect place to sport a bold pattern. Whether it's houndstooth, windowpane, or plaid, you can't go wrong as long as you wear it with confidence.

2. Embrace color
Leave your black and grey work suits in the closet — now's the time to rock a brightly coloured suit and feel good about it.

3. Keep it cool with linen
Going to be in the sun? Select a wool-linen blend and experience its lightweight and breathable benefits. Wool-linen keeps you comfortable when the temperatures rise, but without the wrinkling you get from an all-linen suit.

4. Make it your own with customizations
From your lapel and monogram to your lining, there are endless customization options to choose from at Indochino. Ensure your summer look will truly be one-of-a-kind.

5. Finish with unique accessories
Complete your look with dapper shoes, a hat, tie, and pocket square and you'll be standing out with style this summer.
