Spring and summer aren’t just about cotton. Linen is a classic warm-weather fabric with increased interest of late. It’s mainly thanks to the utilitarian trend, our love of all things brown and the rise of suits for all seasons. Those who live in flowing cotton blouses and dresses may feel set in their ways. But there’s certainly enough room for both textiles in both stylish spring and summer wardrobes. The best linen pieces are cool without trying too hard. Plus, the right pieces can go from a morning stroll to rooftop cocktails.
The trending fabric is by no means limited to traditional suits. Because, let’s face it, that would be pretty boring. Many of the style set’s favorite pieces are crafted out of colorful material. Linen dresses are as popular as suits plus there are plenty of shorts, skirts, shirts and even jumpsuits to pick from. Worried about wrinkles? Embrace them or opt for a linen mix fabric. (It’s not cheating.)
You also don’t have to stick with neutral colors. In fact, some of the seasons’ best options feature bold prints and patterns. They may not look like linen, but they’re still perfectly breezy. Which is the whole point, right?
Ahead, shop the best linen pieces to beat the heat.
