7 Linen Pieces You’ll Wear All Summer Long

Classic Linen Button Down Shirts

A linen button down is classic and chic. Have your Nancy Meyers moment in a simple white linen button down paired with linen shorts or breezy linen pants. If you’re looking for a relaxed oversized fit I can’t say enough about the linen button down from Faherty. For something slightly more tailored this one is a great option. They’re lightweight and breathable, making them ideal for summer weather. The classic linen shirt can be dressed up trousers for the office or dressed down with shorts or jeans for a casual day out.

But the best part about classic linen shirts? They’re timeless. A well-made linen shirt can last you for years, making it a sustainable and eco-friendly choice for your wardrobe.

Easy Linen Dresses

An effortless summer staple that can be worn for any occasion. From casual beach days to weddings and parties, linen dresses are versatile and easy to style. One of the best things about linen dresses, they’ll keep you cool in the summer heat. The lightweight and breathable fabric is perfect for those hot summer days.

There are so many chic options like this pink mini dress (so fun!), midi dresses, or this button front style. To dress up a linen dress for a more formal occasion, pair it with some statement jewelry like a Dorsey necklace and a pair of strappy sandals. For a more laid-back look, opt for some birkenstocks and a straw tote. The versatility of linen dresses makes them a great investment for your summer wardrobe, and something you can wear all season long.

Lightweight Linen Pants

If you’re looking for comfortable and stylish pants to wear during the summer, lightweight linen pants are the perfect choice. Linen pants are breathable, so you’ll stay cool and comfortable even on the hottest days. Plus, their relaxed fit and natural wrinkles create an easygoing vibe that complements a range of outfits. The above outfit is one of my go to looks for hot days (the pants are actually cotton I thought they were linen).

To style linen pants, you can pair them with a fitted tank top or linen button down and sandals (like the look above) for a casual daytime look, or dress them up with a silk tank and heels for a more sophisticated outfit.

Breezy Linen Tops

A breezy linen top is a wardrobe must-have. Whether you’re running errands, having a picnic in the park, or meeting friends for lunch, a linen top will keep you looking effortlessly polished. Pair a linen tank with denim shorts for a casual yet put-together look, or dress up a linen tunic with a statement necklace and sandals for something more elevated. Even better, keep it easy and chic in a matching set.

Simple Linen Shorts

If you’re looking for comfort and versatility, linen shorts are where it’s at. Whether you prefer a tailored and structured look or a loose and relaxed fit, there’s a linen short for every style. Pair them with a simple t-shirt and sneakers for a casual day out or dress them up with a blouse and strappy sandles. Here are my best tips for styling linen shorts.

Linen Jumpsuits

Effortless and fun, if you’re looking for the ultimate one and done outfit, try a linen jumpsuit. This casual style is great for everyday wear paired with sneakers or birkenstocks. Or this fitted linen jumpsuit would be gorgeous for a summer wedding or party.

If you’re dressing it up go with low heels or strappy sandals and a fun bag.
