Men's Linen Suits
Men's linen suits can be worn throughout the year. They are known for being stylish due to the linen material. It's possible to find a variety of styles and colors.
Why linen?
A linen suit has always been considered fashionable. Choosing linen as the material makes sense for an array of reasons:
- It's lightweight.
- The cotton fibers get softer over time.
- It loses moisture quickly, unlike cotton.
- It is a versatile suit material.
What is included in a suit?
When shopping for a suit, it's important to look at what's included. In some instances, it is the jacket and pants. However, it's not uncommon to see mention of two-piece and three-piece suits. Knowing some of what can be included in a linen suit will make it easier to shop:
- Pants
- Jacket
- Vest
- Dress shirt
- Tie
What are the different suit styles?
There are several different styles to a suit. Beyond the color, such as white or navy, there are other aspects to look at. This will determine how it looks on you.
- Double-breasted: There are two columns of buttons and wide, overlapping flaps on the jacket.
- Single-breasted: There is only one column of buttons and a single, narrow flap on the jacket.
- Types of buttons: The buttons on the jacket may contain various colors and shapes.
- Cuffs on pants: Some suit pants will have a cuff while others do not.
- Slim fit: A linen suit that is identified as a slim fit has less fabric, providing a tighter fit that can be flattering to the person wearing it.
Whether you are shopping for a linen suit for a wedding, the office, or for casual wear, it's important to know about the options available to you. Not only should the style be considered, but also the fit. You want to get the most out of a suit so that it works for you for years to come.
