The best style tips for a summer holiday close to home

Spending your summer holiday in our little country this year? In recent years, it hasn’t been so ‘cold’ here during the summer months. Temperatures are rising, and Katwijk aan Zee suddenly feels more like Lloret del Mar—while Tilburg hits Torremolinos-level heat. The upside of these warmer days is that we can dress light, relaxed, and unmistakably summer-ready. So no outfits made to steal the show on Las Ramblas, but on a sunny terrace in Breda. No looks for strolling the boulevard in Nice, but for the Grote Markt in Groningen. Wherever you’re spending your summer break, we’ll share the best style tips for a holiday close to home.

The best style tips for a summer holiday close to home
Staying close to home this summer? With breezy shorts, polos and linen shirts, you’ll be perfectly dressed for warm days on the terrace or along the promenade.

Summers are getting warmer, so you need to make sure you wear light and comfortable clothing. Away with long trousers, it's time to let your legs catch some colour in the sun. Of course, the best way to do that is with the Suitable Short. It's available in various colours, so there's always one for you!


The Suitable shorts ‘Arend' give a modern twist to a classic model. The shorts are made from a fine cotton that ensures high wearing comfort and a modern look. The shorts feature a chino design, ideal for a casual look when heading to a terrace. With these shorts you're ready for the summer holidays. Curious about the full range? Take a look at our shorts collection.

We recommend leaving warm shirts in the wardrobe. Opt for a polo or a simple t-shirt with a pair of shorts. A polo that goes very well with these shorts is a Suitable polo. The polos come in several colours, so you can also mix things up nicely this summer.


With the Suitable polo you can go in any direction. The polo has a smart look, because it's made from the best yarns currently available. When you see the polo up close, you'll notice that different colours have been used. This creates a lovely modern and trendy effect. As mentioned, the polo can be worn for a smart occasion, but also just to relax on a terrace.

It's made from cotton mixed with linen, which gives it a high breathability, feels soft on the skin and keeps you nicely cool on a hot summer's day. The polo has a Modern-Fit cut that falls slightly tailored around the body, giving you plenty of freedom of movement and a comfortable feel. Suitable offers a wide range of polo shirts and T-shirts.

In addition to polos and t-shirts, linen shirts provide high wearing comfort on warm days. On top of that, a linen shirt also gives a smart, well-groomed look. Suitable has various colours of linen shirts in the collection. With a light blue or white linen shirt you're always well dressed. Fancy something different? Then go for a navy colour or dark green.

Combine the linen shirt with a chino shorts together with moccasins or sneakers.

The Suitable linen shirts have a slim-fit cut and are made from 100% linen. This makes the shirt feel soft and provides optimal wearing comfort.

During the day it's warm in the Netherlands, but in the evenings it usually gets cooler. Wearing shorts and a polo then probably provides too little warmth, which is why we have a few tips for cool evenings:

Depending on your moment and your day, you decide what to bring to keep yourself warm during cool evenings. After a day at the beach you'll go for a warm sweater, and for an evening on a terrace your preference might sooner be a blazer. It's entirely up to you to choose what you wear in the evening hours.

Unfortunately, the weather in the Netherlands remains highly unpredictable, and it's quite possible that among all those scorching days there will be some rainy days during the summer holidays. To protect yourself as well as possible against the rain and the cold on days like these, at Suitable you can also find a sturdy men's jacket. Whether you choose a cheerful colour or a somewhat less cheerful one, Suitable has a complete range of rain jackets for you. You can take a look for this on the Suitable website.

Whatever the weather turns out to be, at Suitable you'll always find what you need. Of course, the Netherlands remains the Netherlands and the weather can change at any moment. Wherever you are, check your phone and go looking for one of the 16 Suitable shops near you.
