    Assuming it's material as opposed to style and cut.
    From what I can remember a light cotton or cotton-blend suit is best for that kind of heat.

    Linen. Beautiful material, perfect for the heat. Wear that with a natural fibre shirt, egyptian cotton or silk.

    You will be able to get lightweight suits online as not many outlets will be carrying the summer stock here yet. Some of the lightweight materials are wonderful..but linen is simply magnificent.

    I was at a wedding in Italy last May and it was very very hot. A few of the men who attended wore the suits and waistcoats of their suits but not the jackets. It looked really good and they were cool enough too.

    Get a lined suit. And maybe a nice Fedora to match?

    No necessarily. The great Italian suit is always made of wool and they know a bit about hot weather.
