Luxury Linen for the Modern Groom:
The Perfect Choice for Your Summer Wedding
When planning a wedding, it’s all about finding the perfect balance between style and comfort. This applies not only to the venue and decor but certainly to your wedding suit. For spring or summer weddings, many grooms opt for light, breathable fabrics that are both elegant and comfortable. A popular choice here is linen or wool-linen-silk blends from leading Italian mills like Fratelli Tallia di Delfino.
Why Choose Linen or Wool-Linen-Silk Blends?
Linen is known for its breathable properties and lightweight feel, making it ideal for warmer climates or outdoor weddings. A blend of wool, linen, and silk offers the best of three worlds:
Wool adds structure and resilience, keeping your suit sharp throughout the day.
Linen provides airiness and a natural, relaxed look.
Silk offers a subtle sheen and luxurious feel, giving the suit that extra touch of elegance.
This combination results in a fabric that is both stylish and practical, perfect for the modern groom looking for something unique.
The Lino d’Italia Selection from Fratelli Tallia di Delfino
A stunning example of high-quality linen fabrics is the Lino d’Italia Selection from Fratelli Tallia di Delfino. These fabrics are made from Italian-grown flax, produced by Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale, one of the oldest spinning mills in Europe. The fabrics in this collection are distinguished by their superior fineness, strength, and natural sheen.
At De Oost, we use these fabrics to create bespoke summer suits and wedding attire. The light and luxurious appearance makes it the ideal choice for weddings in warm climates or outdoor venues like a beach, garden, or estate.

How to Incorporate Linen into Your Wedding Look
A linen or wool-linen-silk suit can be worn both classically and in a casual chic style, depending on the styling:
1. Full Linen Suit
Perfect for a relaxed, bohemian, or beach wedding. Pair it with an open collar or a light cotton shirt.
2. Linen Blazer with Contrasting Trousers
For a semi-formal look that still feels refined. Think of a linen blazer paired with wool trousers in a complementary color.
3. Two- or Three-Piece Wool-Linen-Silk Suit
For a formal look with a subtle, luxurious sheen. Ideal for a classic ceremony with a summer twist.

The colors are balanced, aligning with the intended relaxed atmosphere of the wedding. This is also reflected in the cream lining with a floral pattern in the jacket.
Tips for Wearing Linen at Your Wedding
Wrinkles are part of the charm: Linen naturally wrinkles, adding to its relaxed appeal. For those wanting to minimize this, a wool-linen blend is a great option.
Choose the right lining: A light lining, such as bemberg, helps maintain the breathable properties of the fabric.
Accessories: Pair with light, summery accessories like a linen tie, suede shoes, or a silk pocket square.
