Let's talk for a moment about materials.
Materials seem to me one of the basic building blocks of any enduring style, as they dictate so much of the deportment of one's clothing.
Natural materials, any good book will tell you, are to be hoped for, honored, and beloved. One of the most versatile and summer-effective of these materials is linen.
I found this picture on the Flickr Suit Up pool: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ougenweiden/2492025618/in/pool-suitup
The young man in this picture seems to be doing so many things right. His suit fits quite well, he's got good posture, and classy, but colorful shoes that I don't doubt are very comfortable. He's also working with the natural contrast of his hair and skin, with the darker shirt, lighter suit combination. My only gripe - too long pants, but that can be let go. His sleeve length is quite proper, and his material is a breath of fresh summer air.
