It's Not Summer Without A Linen Suit

It's Not Summer Without A Linen Suit

Summer tailoring means one thing: the linen suit. Whichever way you shake your wardrobe, when the sun is out, the linen suit will always float to the top, whether you dress it up or down. Of course, this versatility is the linen suit's calling card - no other piece of tailoring is quite so nimble and sartorially dextrous. Here in the UK, the land of fleeting summers, the linen suit is too often merely associated with weddings, and although it is perfect for those occasions, that rather undermines the true capabilities of this wonderful garment.


 
 

With a lightweight structure, or indeed no structure at all, the linen suit is the perfect weight for summer dressing. Linen itself is the perfect fabric for warm climes, being very breathable and with fantastic moisture-wicking properties. Of course, its standout characteristic is its natural crumple, which offers a relaxed finish to the cloth, as well as the appearance of slubs in the fibres, which give it a unique textural appearance.

At Favourbrook this season, we have adapted a variety of linen cloths to our Ebury jacket silhouette, creating a number of suits in beautiful summer tones such as sage green, ivory, taupe, and oatmeal. Each can be worn as a classic suit, with a shirt and tie, or they can be slightly dressed down by incorporating a fine-gauge knitted polo shirt or a soft cotton t-shirt and fisherman sandals.


 
 

What's more, when you purchase a linen suit, you are actually getting far more styling options than a single suit, because linen suits make for excellent separates too. Pair the jacket with some tailored shorts and loafers for a debonair European look this summer, or wear the trousers with a contrast linen shirt and sandals to channel Cote D'Azur vibes. The linen suit really is the gift that keeps on giving.
