Women’s linen shirts are a lightweight option for the summer because they’re absorbent and an awesome conductor of heat. Get cool and look cool in these linen shirts women love!

Best Womens Linen Shirt

At TFG, we get this question a lot, “Are linen shirts cool and won’t make me overheat in the summer?”

The answer: YES!

Linen shirt womens styles have come a long way from scratchy and uncomfortable and when it comes to travel, they’re actually a light and airy option for hot-weather destinations because they conduct heat and have sweat-wicking properties that make the fabric feel cool to the touch.

The other wonderful thing is how versatile summer linen shirts are. They go with jeans, cropped pants, shorts (or skorts). Perfect for workdays, weekend getaways, tropical vacations, or city exploring.

Get ready for fun days under the sun, because we’re sure these linen shirts womens faves will make their way into your summer wardrobe!

How to Wear Linen Shirt in Versatile Ways

Besides being lightweight and breathable for the summer months, linen shirt women styles can be worn in a variety of ways. Most have the ability to be tucked in or out and be paired with anything from dress work pants, casual jeans, skirts, or shorts.

If you’re going for a solid color, some dangly earrings add a wonderful touch or use simple jewelry with a patterned blouse. You could even go for a linen shirt and pants together, why not?

You can stick to black linen shirt womens styles or white linen shirt womens styles if you really want to go classic. But, an injection of color in your tops can also work with neutral colored bottoms. The key is to stick to the same color story and then you can be playful with choosing colors/patterns.

For travel, try to employ the three-wear rule. Your linen shirt outfit should be versatile enough to be worn in at least three different settings—usually light activity, casual sightseeing, or a fun evening out. The best shoes to go with linen shirt material is endless! Ankle boots, sneakers, flats, or sandals are all style contenders!

How to Wash Linen Shirt When Traveling

Linen shirt care can seem daunting when on a vacation, but it’s actually simpler than you think!

When it comes to washing linen shirts, they can be hand washed and hung to dry. The benefit of this fabric is it dries quickly. You certainly wouldn’t have to do this every day on your trip. For example, on a ten-day trip, you could wash items around the third or fourth day. Linen’s quick-drying properties mean it won’t immediately smell upon wearing it.

Also, check out this tutorial on how to hand wash clothes while traveling!

How to Iron Linen Shirt During Travel

When linen shirts wrinkle it can be annoying, and though this fabric generally has a more lived-in look, that doesn’t mean you want overkill when traveling. Here are some tips that may help:

When packing linen clothes for travel, roll items, and smooth out the fabric with your hand as roll, place it tightly into a packing cube.
Upon arrival at your accommodation, hang your linen pieces unless they’re specifically no-iron. That can help smooth out some creases.
Another item that TFG readers recommend is to bring a travel steamer. It’s a swift way to remove wrinkles from linen travel clothes, especially if you’re on a business trip and need to look professional and polished.
