Definitions
A pale, lightweight men's suit — think cream, white, or pastel linen — designed for hot weather and maximum swagger. The name comes from the soft ice-cream colors and the breezy, melts-in-the-heat vibe. Picture Tom Wolfe in all-white or a Southern gentleman at a summer garden party. These days it's less about function and more about making a statement: 'I know it's 95 degrees and I still look better than you.'
He showed up to the rooftop party in a full ice-cream suit and somehow pulled it off.
