29. Have you ever been in DC in August?

It's horrible. Hell sounds like a vacation spot in comparison.

Tan suits out of linen blends are pretty traditional for summer lightweight suits. Once upon a time and not that long ago, it would be seersucker or white for summer wear.

As long as it wasn't a polyester leisure suit from the 70s, most suits look fine. It's just not a great idea to stay in wool in dark colors even in air conditioning in DC in the summer. You have to go out sometime and you will melt into a puddle if you do, the suit soaked with sweat.
