 The Best Linen Suits Can Handle All the Heat

By Gerald Ortiz

In 2025, linen suits are a year-round flex, but summer is still their true domain. In its most formal iteration, linen makes for a blessedly out-of-the-box alternative to run-of-the-mill cotton and wool suits. The fabric’s natural breathability means it's predisposed to keep you cool through sweltering spring days and slightly-more-tolerable spring nights—and imbue your fits with a jolt of rakish insouciance in the process.

Finally headed to that wedding your cousin's postponed three times since last year? Ditch the tuxedo and opt for a pure linen suit—and then proceed to get blissfully sloshed off the gratis bubbly while the rest of the guests shvitz through their super 110s. Looking for an office-friendly suit with just enough texture to help you stand out from the wool-wearing pack? Linen's got you covered there, too. Want a suit with a little more structure? Reach for one in a cotton-linen blend to avoid excess wrinkling.
