summer suit
I have a wedding to attend this summer and I'm thinking my only suit will run too hot.
I found this beautiful listing that a.) sold and b.) would've also been too hot. Anything similar, soft, warm vibes? I know linen is the go to in summer, but I want something more buttery and less crinkly if that makes any sense. I could stretch my budget to $300 tops.

Also a fan of darker colors - olive, dark khaki, brown, black, all good
maybe look for a wool/silk/linen instead of a linen or cotton/linen blend - that reads as more buttery and less crinkly to me
I’d go for a tropical wool, seersucker, or hopsack personally
Maybe sharkskin/pick n pick
High twist/tropical but still heavy wool will drape nicely. That's like my dream summer suit. From what I've seen, the heavier tropical wools are labeled 4 ply (could look for that on the fabric label/descriptions of listings) and they're about 13 oz

Ooh good shout
Do linen suits not wrinkle as much as other linen clothes? this fabric looks gorgeous but idk if i trust the model photos at the end
Really like these so far

seeming like a relaxed muted earth tone suit is hard to come by at my budget
100% linen is def gonna wrinkle you can tell mostly from this pic
This is probably after the model only tried it on. Actually wearing it for a while those creases are gonna be more prominent
Ahh yeah I kinda figured but thanks for verifying
I used the put this on filter but there's nothing in my size at my budget. Lots of sport coats that meet my needs so I might go for a separate instead
just love matching sets so really hoping I can find a proper suit by summer
