How to Wear a Khaki Suit

A black wool suit and the summer sun don't mix. Learn the tricks to master the season's sand-hued alternative.

Relaxed
Khaki suits are made for daytime events with loose dress codes. Reinforce the informal aesthetic with a chambray shirt, a striped sweater vest (in a thin cotton that won’t add bulk), and a belt, a bag, and shoes in tan leather or suede. White sneakers—spotless ones—are also a fine complement.
