A linen suit probably won’t be the first suit in your closet. But as the weather warms and wedding season rapidly approaches, there’s a compelling case to be made for swapping wool for this breezy, breathable fabric for all your tailoring needs.

Linen is constructed from flax fibers, typically in an open weave fabric that promotes airflow on hot days. Linen is also naturally moisture-wicking, drawing sweat and moisture away from the body. Unlike cotton, it dries quickly, so whether you’re cutting a rug at a wedding or jetting off to a tropical destination, a linen suit will be able to keep up.

But what of the wrinkles? The beauty of linen is its inherently relaxed vibe, which makes the case for simply embracing the wrinkles. Or, reach for a linen-cotton blend to combine the breeziness of linen with the structure of cotton.

The Best Men’s Wearhouse Linen Suits

If a linen suit still feels like a risk, Men’s Wearhouse has plenty of affordable options. Best of all, all of these options are available as separates; you can skip the traditional suit and wear the pants with a knit polo or the jacket with jeans. Read on for our picks.

If you’re looking for a 100% linen option, Tommy Hilfiger’s take is constructed from linen, but is fully lined to add structure. It has formal details like four buttons on the sleeve, a classic notch lapel, flap pockets, and a double vent on the back. Navy keeps it classic, but it’s also available in pink, sage, tan, or white.

The companion suit pants have a flat front and come pre-hemmed. The regular, straight fit makes these a timeless option, regardless of the color you choose.

Linen can get wrinkly, which is why a cotton-linen blend is a great alternative. This suit is constructed from 55% linen and 45% cotton, and features a half-lined design for added breathability. Traditional details include a notched lapel and two buttons, while the hip-length cut and slim fit add a modern edge.

The matching suit pants are also constructed from a cotton/linen blend and feature a modern, slim-fit, flat-front design. They come pre-hemmed, making them ready to wear right away for convenience (or any last-minute suiting emergencies).

This jacket from Joseph Abboud is cut from 64% linen, with polyester, viscose, and spandex for stretch and comfort. There are a few colors available, though the rich “chocolate brown” color is a particular standout. And since finding the proper fit on an off-the-rack suit can be tricky, the suit is available in short, regular, long, and extra-long.

The matching pants also have a modern tapered fit with a flat front and traditional tab closure. The pants come prehemmed, and are a stylish option to wear with or without the matching blazer.
