Thom Whiddett and Luke Sweeney have taken the bespoke tailoring game by storm. Their Mayfair establishment, Thom Sweeney, has become a go-to for many a discerning gent who wants a timeless style in a modern cut. Their clientele are not only exclusive, but of the sartorially inclined ilk; the ever-stylish David Gandy is a noted fan.
The release of their spring summer lookbook is perfectly in time for the seasonal segue, as we start to pray for some relief from the winter onslaught. Of course, summer suiting is a tricky subject; knotting up in the warmer climes can be uncomfortable, if not tackled correctly. Follow the lead of this talented twosome for the ultimate primer in spring–summer style…

Starting off, the tailoring is cut in sumptuously luxurious fabrics, perfectly suited for when the sun does decide to rear its head. From tropical wools to linen-silk-wool blends, the weight is ideal for the warmer seasons whilst maintaining an air of stylish formality.

Full of updated staples, the lightweight overcoats in wool-silk-linen and trench coat in Loro Piana Storm System Fabric will keep the spring chill off. Whilst the knitted merino wool long-sleeve polo shirts are a superb smart-casual closet addition for every gentleman.

The range of tailoring will satisfy every man’s tastes. From the more business-suited attire to the more relaxed separates, there’s even a double-breasted offering and a staple light khaki suit to satisfy the warmer side of the wardrobe.

Not to forget the details, the woven silk ties are ideal for bringing your accessories stylishly into the season. Footwear also, the double-monks provide a perfect note to finish any look on; the suede penny loafers and leather derbies certainly wouldn’t go amiss either.
