Can You Wear a Linen Suit to a Wedding?
Yes. Yes, you can wear a linen suit to a wedding. In fact, you should wear a linen suit to a wedding. Especially at a destination wedding. There is simply no excuse for spending all that money on travelling to an idyllic location with your nearest and dearest, just to spend it sweating like cheap cheese and losing your jacket twenty minutes in, no water left in your body, just concentrated alcohol sludging round your veins, tie wrapped around your head like a Whoops Aisle Rambo, not a single button fastened, your shirt waving in the disco lights like a white flag at the impending hangover. No. None of that. Linen suits are the correct choice for a destination wedding, it’s just a matter of choosing the right one for you. We’re going to walk you through it.

Men’s Summer Suit Ideas for Weddings Abroad
It’s worth considering the local climate when styling your linen wedding suit. If the happy couple are tying the knot in tropical climes, then by all means go full linen. Shirt, blazer, trousers – the lot – confidence = sexy, comfort = confidence, breezy linen in warm weather = comfort. That’s just maths. And science. That’s maths and science, and you can’t argue with that.
For a wedding, you’re probably going to be leaning toward a tailored fit, which lends itself to both smart shoes with socks, or a nice pair of loafers with sockless ankles titillating any time-travelling Victorians at the reception whilst airing out your lower leg. There’s a bit of animosity surrounding the concept of the sockless man in the UK right now, but what happens at the destination wedding stays at the destination wedding, and you can definitely pull off a sockless look when you’re on holiday, so embrace the opportunity and make the most of this free-pass.
Another great way to style a linen suit is to play with texture by using your choice of shirt to contrast or complement your blazer but (spoiler alert) more on that later.
What are the Best Wedding Suits for Weddings Abroad
If you’re going to an outdoor wedding in Svalbard, the best wedding suit is five or six thermal puffer jackets. Otherwise, you’re best off going for something breathable and stylish. Listen closely.

Summer Wedding Linen Suits
Some men shy away from linen because they think they’re not good enough for it. They think linen is above them and unachievable. That is big loser energy and, if that’s you, this is your sign to get over yourself and wear the suit you deserve. Linen Suits are for everyone and they are warm weather champions of the world. They’re naturally breathable and breezy, they look great, and Perci’s linen suits are expertly tailored to make you look your absolute best.
Green Linen Wedding Suit
The colour of leaves, the colour of nature, the colour of the other guests’ jealousy when they see the colour of your favourite Linen Wedding Suit.
Beige Linen Wedding Suit
Nothing culturally beige about our beige suits. They’re not even beige, to be fair—they’re Tan, or Cream if you prefer, and they are the canine’s plums.

Seersucker Suits Ideal For Weddings
You want texture? You’ve got it. Pucker up for a seersucker summer wedding, ‘cause you’re gonna want to give Perci’s Seersucker Suits a big sloppy kiss when you see them. That sugar & milk texture keeps the majority of the fabric away from the skin, allowing for plenty of airflow, carrying sweat away with the cool sea breeze.
Does 100% Cotton Keep You Cool in Summer?
Sure does. Proper, 100% cotton is absorbent and breathable, so it’ll deal with sweat pretty well when the sun is testing you.

How to Take a Suit on a Plane
Bring your suit with you in a garment bag if you can. If you don’t have the carry-on space, fold it carefully, but not so tight that’ll get noticeable crease marks, and hang it up as soon as you get to the accommodation.
