Linen Wedding Suits for Grooms
First of all, congratulations, Secondly, no I do not want to hear your engagement story. What I DO want to hear about is – what are you going to wear? Also, tell me your engagement story.
If the BIG DAY is in the summer, temperatures may reach a sweltering 14 degrees. You will have to hug a LOT of people, you will have to dance to ‘Don’t stop me now’ by Queen. And you absolutely do not want to be doing any of that in a polyester ziplock bag.
It’s time to say, ‘I do!’ to linen.
(Feeling pretty proud of that line btw).
Can a groom wear linen?
Can the bride sneak out and secretly vape with her bridesmaids? The answer is absolutely, yes. Gone are the days when every groom has to be wrapped up in a black polyester suit from Burtons.
Linen is original, yet classic at the same time. Go for charcoal, navy or beige. You’ll feel like The Great Gatsby, but you do actually get the girl at the end. (I haven’t read the book but I presume that’s what happens).
Can you wear a linen suit to a wedding?
It depends on whether you want to look like a sweaty estate agent or the guy from Miami Vice.
Linen is breathable, classic, and has been around for 3 million years. In fact, it was used to wrap Egyptian mummies. Which is a great fact that could be used in your wedding speech! Tie it into mother-in-law references, etc. You are welcome.
How should a linen suit fit?
Not too tight, not too loose. You want enough space to do the ‘Macarena’ without anything ripping.
But also you don’t want to look like Tom Hanks when he becomes a child again in Big. That would bring up way too many controversial questions and opinions.
Is linen good for pictures?
One of the very few issues about linen is that it does crease. But like your face in the mornings, you just have to embrace it. It’s part of its charm. It’s an ‘old money’ kind of vibe.
And most importantly, It won’t have a tacky shiny glow in the pictures. And neither will your face.
