Destination Summer: A Style Journey with Peter Jackson

Summer has a way of taking us somewhere different. A flight, a road trip, a weekend away, or simply a good reason to get out and see what happens. It’s also a good time to change how you dress. Lighter tailoring, breathable fabrics, relaxed shirts and different ways to wear the pieces you already know. Wherever you’re headed, make the journey your own.

One of the smartest things you can pack this summer is a sport jacket. Wear it with tailored trousers when dinner calls for something smarter, then put the same jacket over a t-shirt with white denim the next day. More outfits, less garments.

The suit hasn’t gone anywhere. Summer just calls for a different way of wearing it. A polo instead of a shirt. Loafers or sandals instead of lace-ups. No tie. Sometimes no socks. The tailoring gives you the structure, so everything around it can afford to relax.

Few shirts work as hard as denim. Button it up with a tie and tailoring, wear it open at the collar under a sport jacket. One shirt, plenty of mileage.

Trying to keep linen perfectly pressed misses the point. The creases are part of its character. Light, breathable and better as it relaxes through the day. Wear it open at the neck and roll the sleeves when the temperature climbs.

A polo takes the formality out of tailoring without losing the polish. Wear it open at the neck, tucked in or on its own when the jacket comes off.

Navy, charcoal and black feel sharper at night, particularly with tonal shirts, textured ties or an open collar. For a more directional take, bring the vest in and lose the tie
