The Chillest Summer Suit Guide
Dress for summer parties without compromising comfort. After a two-year break, it's time to celebrate with friends and family in person. Wishing you a joyful summer!
A suit is not just a suit
We say our suit is not just a suit. We don’t think of a suit as a traditional ensemble worn only a few times a year, spending the rest of its life hanging unused in the closet. To us, a suit is more than the sum of its parts. Different pieces can be mixed and matched for everyday wear, depending on the occasion. This way, the outfit remains versatile and in use throughout the year for a long time.
Versatility for Everyday Situations
The core of our collection philosophy is versatility. This means that the clothes we create are easy to mix and match, making them suitable for various everyday situations. We design garments that exist between the formal and casual worlds. Our clothes don’t require you to stand stiffly, but they are of high quality and easy to wear confidently, even during a workday. Our blazers can be effortlessly paired with denim jeans, and at the same time, a stylish t-shirt can be worn underneath the blazer or cardigan. Nothing is too formal or too casual to be combined together.
Relaxed Party Dressing Without Sacrificing Comfort
All of FRENN’s blazers and trousers are incredibly comfortable to wear, thanks to their lightweight construction and carefully selected materials. The blazers are only lined in the sleeves, making them easy to put on, while the body of the jacket is unlined. This means the jacket is comfortably flexible and won’t overheat, even in the summer. The wool fabric also doesn’t wrinkle.
Trousers that Combine Credibility and Comfort
All FRENN trousers feature an elastic waistband, either at the back or across the entire waist. The waistband doesn’t constrict, and as the owner’s size changes, the trousers remain a comfortable fit. This makes FRENN trousers exceptionally comfortable for everyday wear. You can use the same pair of trousers for various situations.
A Collection of Blazers and Trousers to Mix and Match
In addition to versatility, the core idea of our entire clothing collection is combinability. For us, it feels natural to wear the same pieces in different ways, according to personal taste, both at work and in leisure time, so the outfit can be more formal or casual depending on the situation. This way, individual items are worn almost daily, and their carbon footprint per use decreases with each wear.
Jere Blazer
The two-button Jere is our most formal and classic blazer. It’s perfectly tailored but also incredibly comfortable to wear thanks to its stretchy material. The Jere features side vents, breathable sleeve lining to make dressing easier, and two inside pockets.
Jarkko Blazer
The three-button Jarkko is a more relaxed and looser version of the Jere. It’s also comfortable to wear and works both as a suit jacket or more casually with denim jeans. The Jarkko also has side vents and two inside pockets.
Jarmo Blazer
The safari-inspired Jarmo is a bit more laid-back. However, thanks to its high-quality material, it’s still appropriate for a formal occasion. The Jarmo features four front pockets and a back vent, like more formal blazers.
Jesse Shirt Jacket
For a more casual outfit, the shirt jacket, or overshirt, works perfectly. Jesse is our most relaxed jacket-style top and pairs well with all the trousers in the collection. When combined with Seppo wool trousers, the woolen Jesse creates a modern and relaxed suit for summer parties.
Seppo Trousers
The slim-fit Seppo trousers feature an elastic waistband at the back, making them incredibly comfortable to wear. However, they still look neat and credible from the front. The Seppo trousers come with belt loops, so you can wear them with a belt depending on the occasion. Without a belt, they feel like comfortably relaxed sweatpants. Made from wool fabric, the trousers don’t wrinkle either. All Seppo trousers are machine washable at home.
Sampo Trousers
The Sampo trousers are a bit more casual and slightly looser than the Seppo trousers. They feature an elastic waistband across the entire waist for ultimate comfort. The Sampo trousers also have a slightly wider leg than the Seppo trousers. All Sampo trousers are machine washable at home.
High-Quality European Materials
All of the eco-certified fabrics for the blazers and trousers in the collection are sourced from Italy, Germany, and Lithuania. Designer and FRENN co-founder Antti Laitinen selects the most suitable fabric for each product to ensure the material's structure and the garment’s shape work together in the best possible way.
Relaxed Organic Cotton
All the organic cotton products in the collection are made from GOTS and Öko-Tex 100 certified organic cotton grown in Turkey or the USA. The blazers and trousers are sewn in Germany from woven fabrics, while the denim fabrics are woven in Turkey. All organic cotton fabrics include 2% elastane, making the garments more comfortable to wear and reducing the likelihood of sagging at the knees.

Wrinkle-Resistant Merino Wool
The wool fabric woven in Italy is of exceptional quality and resists wrinkling even with heavy use. The fabric consists of 98% merino wool and 2% elastane. The twill weave and elastane make the fabric pleasantly flexible, ensuring that the trousers return to their original shape after use and maintain their fit for longer. The wool used can be traced back to sheep farms in Australia and New Zealand.
Seersucker – Textured Cotton-Linen Blend
This summer's new fabric is a wonderfully flexible Italian seersucker, a classic Italian summer fabric. The fabric's textured surface is created by the weave, forming a relaxed, lively surface for excellent comfort. Seersucker is naturally stretchy due to its weave.
100% Linen
The linen fabric we use is woven in Lithuania, and the linen is grown in Northern Europe. The linen fabric is pre-washed before sewing, making it soft to the touch and less prone to wrinkling compared to stiffer linen. Linen is an ideal fabric for summer, as it absorbs moisture and feels pleasantly cool even on hot days.
Tailoring Service to Fit Your Perfect Style
The right size and fit make a garment look and feel great to wear. We all have different body shapes, and that’s how it should be. That’s why FRENN’s clothes are designed to be customizable and tailored.
We always assess the garment on the wearer and make the necessary adjustments, such as altering sleeve or trouser lengths or adjusting the waist circumference. This way, our customers are satisfied and feel like their new clothes are truly their own from the very start.
ONE-YEAR REPAIR WARRANTY
We carefully choose our partners, which is why we confidently offer a one-year repair warranty on all of our products. The warranty covers items that have been in use for less than 12 months, and you have 2 months to report any defects once you've noticed the issue. If there is a manufacturing defect in the garment, we will either repair it or replace it with a new one. You are responsible for using the garment normally and washing it according to the care instructions.
If your item breaks for any other reason, our Helsinki store offers a professional repair service for FRENN garments.
