The first one might surprise you because it's usually not top of mind for most men, it's a woven or fabric belt. It's one of the most casual belt options out there and because of that, they really suit the summer relaxed casual vibe.
The second accessory worth investing in is anything regarding linen. Linen is a classic summer fabric. Why? Because it has an open weave, it wrinkles in a casual way, and the fibers themselves are a little bit irregular making it all more casual, and therefore, well suited for summer. On top of that, it's often lightweight and the more you wear it and wash it, the softer it gets so it's super comfortable. Some may argue that it looks a bit unkempt yet the wrinkling is part of the fabric and it's a desired side-effect unlike, let's say, with cotton or a wool suit.
The number three in my list are knit ties because they're hands-down the best way to add texture to your summer outfit. Unlike other tie materials, such as woven, or printed silk, or linen, the knitted silk is usually something you can only find in menswear and it's very structured and different. If you specifically wanna invest in one or two ties for summer, I'd make them knit ties and nothing else.
The fourth summer accessory that makes you stand out from the crowd are bow ties. Unlike ties, they cover less of your chest and therefore, wear cooler than a necktie. Rather than going with bold shades in pink and neon green, maybe turn it down a notch and go with lighter colors such as a buff base.
My summer accessory number five is a boutonniere. It is the little lapel flower and I'm wearing one here right now and it's one of the best way to earn compliments because they're so different, people usually don't wear them and even 99.99% of all florists out there don't even know how to make a proper boutonniere anymore.
My summer accessory number six is a Panama hat. Most panama hats come with a black hatband and a leather sweat band on the inside. I would substitute the one on the inside with a fabric because it makes you sweat less and on top of that, I changed the outside one to a different color.
Last but not least, probably my favorite summer accessory is a pair of good classically styled sunglasses. Of course, sunglasses are given in the summer but sometimes, it's hard to choose the right model for a classically styled wardrobe that's not boring and run-of-the-mill. With the strong heat, I find sometimes that dark frames in black or a dark tortoiseshell can be just too dark and don't fit in with the lighter color scheme of summer outfits. Because of that, I prefer a lighter tortoiseshell than a darker one.

[@Ausknutz]

I live in Rio de Janeiro, so It's warm almost all year round. I used to "melt"inside my suit during summer, when it's over 40ºC or 104ºF, but since I have started watching Gentleman's Gazette I got a linen suit, which I use during summer. It is still warm, but my skin can breathe much better now!

[@foolthe49]

This is a helpful comment, because where I live, I get the same temperatures... and I am hesitant to risk buying linen suit, as I fear that I'll be swimming in my own sweat. For this reason, I dread summer as I can not dress well, though your comment gives me motivation to buy one and try it out.

[@johnnyryu9207]

My favorites: 1. Silk grenadine ties in blue/navy/rust. They fit perfectly with green, light blue & brown and off-white suit which are the dominant colors of summer. 2. Wool Challis or Shantung silk bow ties. They physically give you more breathing room at the chest but keep the formality of a neckwear. 3. Boat hat. A hard hat that is perfect for travel, regular sun shading and summer black tie. Informative video as always.

[@dr.s.p.]

Good video. A nice Italian lightweight summer jacket, without the lining is a great addition for summer too.

Have you talked about wearing a tie without a jacket? I used to be a teacher and I almost always took my jacket off and went with a long sleeve shirt and tie alone.

Sven, your videos are absolutely fabulous! Informative, insightful and authoritative, they are must-sees for all gentlemen and would-bes. I've got an issue I'd appreciate your input on. I have a pair of Black-Watch tartan trousers. I've worn them with a black blazer, white shirt, black knotted tie and black shoes and the ensemble looked pretty good, if not a bit somber. I've also worn them to a Christmas function with a black tuxedo jacket, white formal shirt, black vest and black tuxedo bow-tie. That ensemble looked pretty good too. Here's my problem: I don't go to funerals or Christmas parties that often, so I'd like to wear them a bit more frequently. I've a camel-hair jacket that I think would go well with the trousers, along with a white shirt, but I can't figure out what kind of tie to wear with it. I'm thinking a wine or burgundy silk tie. Also, what color shoes would you recommend? Cordovan, dark brown or black? Thanks!
