A summer wardrobe doesn't always mean seersucker or linen. There are plenty of other ways to add a touch of summer to your outfit.

A navy hopsack blazer is a great place to start. It's breathable and looks sharp. Plus, it's more versatile than a casual linen jacket, which would look out of place in more formal settings.

For trousers, tropical wool is with an open weave is a must. The last thing you want is for your trousers to cling to your sweaty legs like Saran Wrap. If you favor grey, switching to a lighter shade is another way to make your outfit more cheery.

Lastly, don't be afraid to introduce new textures. A raw silk tie and suede shoes can add some visual depth to an outfit consisting of solid patterns.

No matter how good your outfit is, your daughter may never appreciate it.
