10 Summer-Inspired Linen Clothing Styles

Linen regulates temperature nicely, making it cool to the touch. At first, it may seem dry and rough, but after a few more washes, linen clothing turns softer and smoother.

We love this fabric because it’s super comfortable in the heat. Unlike cotton, linen doesn’t stick to your skin even when you sweat and allows better air flow which cools your body down. This is great news if you’re traveling somewhere hot this summer: you won’t feel clammy in your clothing, just comfortable.

Chico’s No-Iron Linen Tunic | Sizes XS-XL

 

If your travels take you to a sunny seaside destination, bring along a tunic in either chambray, flirty coral stripes or a pretty turquoise hue (or all three for my fellow shopaholics!) For a classic look, opt for a crisp and clean white button up.

We love a classic shirtdress here at TFG. A linen one with summer perfect stripes will take you through the day in ease. Breathable and basic, you can easily dress them up or down to your liking. They also make great swim cover ups!
