Hailing from Umbria, a region in central Italy, Brunello Cucinelli knows a thing or two about dressing in hot climates. The brand has chosen a mid-weight blend of linen and wool for this suit, which guarantees breathability while giving the fabric a more substantial handle and texture than a pure linen. As expected of Brunello Cucinelli, the design is considered down to the last detail in the interest of comfort – the jacket is left half-lined, while the trousers are tailored with a little extra fabric and finished with pleats, which make give them a breeziness without sacrificing shape.

Each Brioni jacket takes more than 24 hours to make. Looking at this double-breasted sky-blue blazer, you can see why. The finishing is second to none: even the horn buttons have been dyed a similar shade of blue to match the colour palette. Cut from pure silk and left unstructured, it fits like your most comfortable shirt. Pair yours with the matching trousers for a standout summer wedding outfit.

If you wish to stand in a sea of single-colour suits, opt for a subtly patterned style like Kingsman’s, which is exclusively available at MR PORTER. Tailored from a substantial blend of linen and wool and featuring wide peak lapels, it’s a standout choice for wedding ceremonies but smart enough for business meetings, too. The cloth is sourced from Dormeuil, a heritage mill that has specialised in high-quality fabrics since 1842, and can be found on the matching trousers.

Neapolitan tailoring is a great option when temperatures rise. It tends to be unstructured, lightweight and generally a tad more laid-back than the Savile Row school of tailoring. And it’s exemplified by brands like De Petrillo, whose double-breasted slub-linen suit is one of our top picks for summer. Both jacket and trousers have been cut in a slim, straight silhouette – the trousers have narrow front pleats for a little added structure, too.

Kiton has a well-earned reputation as the master of Italian tailoring. Each of the brand’s garments takes around 25 hours to produce by hand by its skilled craftsmen, who use traditional tools and only the best quality fabrics. This suit has been tailored from a Lyocell blend, a cotton substitute that’s breathable, moisture wicking and wrinkle resistant – it’ll keep you cool and looking good from morning until evening.

Inspired by the traditions of Neapolitan tailoring, but steeped in the minimalist design ethos of its native Stockholm, Scandinavian tailoring label Saman Amel’s sophisticated suits are perfect for those occasions when you want to switch things up. Tailored from a herringbone-patterned blend of wool, silk and linen, this is the kind of suit you don’t necessarily need a shirt for. The jacket is designed with exaggerated peak lapels, which will frame the neckline of a T-shirt and a subtle chain necklace nicely, while the trousers are intended to sit slightly higher than standard styles.
