Ah, summer: the time of endless weddings and more formal events than you can count on both hands, synching up to record-breaking temperatures that often make dressing for these occasions a challenge. Thankfully, with Men’s Wearhouse’s bestselling, sleek suiting, you don’t have to worry about sweating through your dapper attire even on the hottest of days. The brand has two secret style weapons for keeping your cool this season — the Aweareness by Kenneth Cole Chillflex Slim Fit Suit Jacket and Pants.

The Color Trends for Fall/Winter '28-'29 Will Look Soft But Defiant

True to its name, the Chillflex technology present in these pieces (sold separately on the site in a wide range of sizes and lengths, plus three colorways to suit any sartorial preference) is thermoregulating, antimicrobial, has active particles that whisk away humidity, ensures steady airflow, and benefits from a lightweight stretch that allows you to move with ease. While the Chillflex tech is especially great for the summer, when it removes your body’s sweat vapor and therefore cools you down, you can easily take advantage of it during winter, too, at which time the fabric slows down heat loss: preventing you from having to make the tradeoff between covetable, sophisticated looks and comfort.

As noted before, the Aweareness by Kenneth Cole Slim Fit Suit Jacket and Slim Fit Suit Pants come in black, blue, and light gray color options for all kinds of weddings and special events. Looking to keep it classic? Black will be your best friend, accentuated by the suit’s sharp, impeccably tailored construction. Attending a seaside soirée that calls for something breezy and bright? The blue suit will look ideal against an oceanic backdrop, especially when worn with a crisp white shirt. For men seeking some contrast play with a dark-hued button-up or tie, light gray is the way to go (and, let us tell you, it will also make your tan absolutely pop).

The Aweareness by Kenneth Cole Chillflex Slim Fit Suit Jacket, sold by Men’s Wearhouse, stands out from the crowd based on its rich wool blend and intentionally slim fit; also not to be overlooked are classy details that include notched lapels, side vents, and flap pockets.

Since 1973, Men’s Wearhouse has been a one-stop shop for on-trend menswear — specializing in everything from black-tie attire to casual coordinates while priding itself on top-notch quality and competitive pricing (made even more appealing through the retailer’s regular promotions, like the 70-percent clearance event going on now and the unbeatable perks that come with the Perfect Fit rewards program). The value of each and every item at Men’s Wearhouse is apparent as soon as you lay eyes on it, not to mention don it for the first time. When it comes to the Chillflex Slim Fit Suit Jacket, every bit of that $350 price tag feels justified, thanks to its rich wool blend, intentionally slim fit, full lining, and classy details like the angular, notched lapels, side vents, and flap pockets. The Chillflex Slim Fit Suit Pants similarly make every penny count though their pre-hemmed fit and always-crisp appearance, which can be made even more so if you invest in the $10 Men’s Wearhouse “Creaset” add-on: promising to keep “pant creases as crisp as the day they were first pressed.”

Positive testimonials about Men’s Wearhouse favorites seem to flood the site, often accentuating the brand’s seamless shopping experience — marked by complimentary returns and free standard shipping on all orders over $99 (which turns into free shipping with no order minimum when you join the Perfect Fit program), as well as “how to wear” online suggestions that mimic the personalized experience of being helped by a team of style consultants in-store. As far as five-star reviews for the Chillflex bestsellers are concerned, satisfied customers are also quick to note how well the suit separates have served them in all of life’s contexts.

“The Kenneth Cole dress slacks perfectly matched the suit jacket which I purchased. I liked the silicone rubber strip on the inside of the waistband that holds your shirt in. The pants were comfortable for my body type and provided a clean formal look,” one reviewer noted. “Great-fitting jacket that lays nicely on my broad shoulders and is not tight around my tummy. Lots of compliments,” another said.

Stumped on how best to incorporate your Chillflex purchases into a summertime ensemble that hits all the right notes? Allow yourself to be influenced by today’s top menswear trends, as spotted on red carpets and streets. For a dash of the preppy, pair the Men’s Wearhouse suit jacket in light gray with a textured polo that’s only a touch darker, accessorizing with a shiny watch and white belt for good measure. Alternatively, mimic Jonathan Bailey during the recent premiere of “Jurassic World Rebirth,” and sport your jacket-plus-trousers getup with itty-bitty sunglasses to infuse it with an element of fun. Do as Adrien Brody did at this year’s Oscars, and elevate your tailored finery with a high-shine brooch, or choose to swap the button-down shirt under your new, suave suit for a graphic tee (a look stars like Keanu Reeves and Pete Davidson have mastered in the past).

Whatever stylistic avenue you end up pursuing, know that the Chillflex Slim Fit Suit Jacket and P a nts from Aweareness by Kenneth Cole will make you feel like your best self at every upcoming wedding, gala, charity event, or work function in the next few months and beyond. Speaking of charities, Men’s Wearhouse donates a portion of proceeds from all Awearness products towards helping American veterans transition into the workforce, so you can look good in and feel good about your fresh threads.
