A few things to factor into your outfit-planning:

– establish the formality of the occasion, whether it’s a smart, casual or more formal affair.

– the location of the wedding, whether it’s on a beach or in the countryside etc.

– the climate/weather to ensure you’re appropriately dressed and not too hot or cold.

Our linen is made exclusively in Lisburn Ireland by a mill established in 1795 – a longer continuous pedigree than even Cordings!

Linen suits are eminently versatile and can be worn as a smart 3 piece suit with a crisp cotton shirt, or in a more casual style with an open neck linen shirt.

Men’s 2 or 3 Piece Linen or Cotton Suits

Our cotton Parade suits are a classic choice for weddings. Fine drill creates an effortless elegance and will keep you serene and unruffled whilst you quaff your champagne in the marquee whilst those around you are mopping their brow. In a heavy, but supple Italian cotton, this suit is available as a three or two piece outfit. That means you can leave your jacket on the back of your chair whilst keeping your look complete as you head to the dance floor in the evening.

For this suit, effortlessly pair our Oxford shirts, in pale blue or pink with a smart navy silk tie and contrast pocket square. To get the look above, shop our classic khaki cotton parade jacket, waistcoat and trousers – all in fine drill.

A lighter weight city suit is perfect for any formal event taking place in Spring or early Summer, choose a lighter weight (perhaps below 12oz for the warmer months) whilst opting for a lighter grey, blue or navy are all great colour choices for a wedding.
