Lightweight wool suits warmer weather, midweight wool works year-round and flannel is best for cooler seasons.<\/p>\n<h2>Linen is summery and relaxed<\/h2>\n<p>Linen breathes extremely well and looks natural at summer weddings, on holiday and in more relaxed dressing. Its characteristic is wrinkling: a linen suit is meant to look a little lived-in.<\/p>\n<h2>Cotton is a more relaxed option<\/h2>\n<p>A cotton suit often feels more casual than a wool suit. It suits chino-style outfits, summer use and situations where the suit may look less formal.<\/p>\n<h2>Tweed and flannel bring texture<\/h2>\n<p>Tweed is a rougher, warm option for autumn and winter. Flannel is a soft, matte and elegant fabric that works well in grey, brown and dark navy tones.<\/p>\n<h2>Blends can improve comfort<\/h2>\n<p>Wool-linen, wool-silk and wool-cotton blends can combine the strengths of different materials.
