Steven, owner of Prosit Luxus got a change to step into the storefront of Q. Contrary. Mary Zarob is the shop owner and designer.
She is a total straight shooter and have years of experience and formal training making her an amazing resource for picking out some choice clothing for looking good this summer.
Prosit Luxus - So it’s starting to get a little warm here in Arizona. For those that aren’t familiar it can get up to 122! And it’s dryyyyy. Let be honest, a lot of beachy resorts are in the caribbean where it’s hot and often humid. What are some fabrics that will be suit a warmer climate?
Mary Zarob- Natural fibers such as linen or linen blends are the best. Seersucker (it’s made of cotton) is a great option too. These are light weight and breathable and will keep you comfortable. There are many light weight wool fabrics that are great to wear during the summer too.
PL- A gentleman who is buying one of this first suits or at least a more discerning gentleman, what is the advantage, if any, on having lining in your sport coat or suit?
MZ- I suggest no lining or half lining because linings are usually made of synthetic fabrics and those don’t breathe well. They keep the air trapped and warms you up.
PL - Any final tips you would have for someone want to break up the normal look this summer?
MZ – Find any detail that you can bring color and pattern to. I suggest a fun patterned or colored pocket square for sure and shoes with color or even fun colored laces. Add a belt with color to give life to your outfit.
