TREND ALERT:
EASY LINEN LOOKS FOR MEN

The secret to effortless summer outfits? Breezy, breathable linen. Here’s how to wear some of our favourite pieces

Stripe right

Known for its breathability and natural cooling properties, linen is the ultimate summer fabric – perfect for keeping cool while looking sharp. Whether you’re looking for a linen suit for a summer wedding, some office-ready linen chinos or a cheerful linen shirt for a holiday, our men’s linen shop has everything you need.

This striped linen-blend shirt is available in four fun colourways, including this green and white mix. It looks great tucked into chinos or jeans for a smart-casual look, or worn loose over shorts for a relaxed summer outfit. When it comes to footwear, loafers or slip-on sandals complement linen outfits perfectly, maintaining the laid-back vibe.

Short story

As well as shirts, we’ve got a wide selection of men’s linen shorts to choose from, too. These linen-blend chino shorts are the ultimate smart-casual staple for a summer holiday, taking you from a day of sightseeing to drinks at the bar. Complete your look with the right accessories – statement sunglasses and belts can add a sophisticated edge, balancing out linen’s relaxed feel.

One of the distinct characteristics of linen is its tendency to wrinkle. Instead of fighting it, embrace the natural creases for a relaxed, effortless look. Linen needs a bit of care to keep it looking great – make sure to hand wash or machine wash it on a gentle cycle with cold water, and air dry to prevent shrinkage. If you’re ironing linen, do so while the garment is still slightly damp to avoid excessive creasing.
