With temperatures soaring this summer, look to linen to keep you looking and feeling cool.
There are few fabrics as synonymous with summer as linen, which allows skin to breathe and stay cool during the warmer months.
You’re probably already au fait with linen if you’re a seasoned summer dresser. It’s a common accoutrement to sun, sea and sunglasses – and rightly so. Who wants to be cushioned in any kind of fabric during summer that doesn’t allow their skin to breathe?
Should you be stuck between one linen piece and another, there is a plethora of linen trousers, dresses, skirts and tops that will tempt you to put your hand in your pocket and either upgrade the linen you already have or invest in a line-up of attention-grabbing pieces that will promise to stand the test of time. Few do it as well as linen, and these 11 pieces are proof.
