Suitsupply Lilac Havana Suit
Best for Hot Weather Weddings
Suitsupply Lilac Havana Suit
Yes, the linen suit is a summer staple given that it's breezy and looks great on just about everyone, but it can also be as itchy as a corded knit sweater. Not so with Suitsupply's Havana suit, which is interwoven with wool and silk to prevent skin irritation while upping its luxury quotient. Pair it with a lightweight dress shirt (sans tie) and some killer loafers, and you've got a full-proof beachside wedding look.

How Should a Wedding Suit Fit?
We're glad you asked. Just like any other suit, your wedding suit should fit impeccably. Whether you want to go baggy (i.e. trendy) or super slim, a suit's jacket should sit directly above the shoulder, and its sleeves should slightly be above the sleeves to show off your cuff links.
With your suit pant, you could go full Thom Browne and cut it above your ankles, but for most guys, we recommend ending it just above your dress shoe, punctuating with a deep crease.
