When summer hits, few fabrics hit harder than linen. It’s cool, it’s breathable, and it only gets better with age—like your favorite vintage tee, but way breezier. It’s also one of the most low-key sustainable materials out there. Made from flax (a drought-resistant plant that doesn’t need much water, pesticides, or power to process), linen is the kind of fabric that does the most while asking for the least. No sweat. Literally.
So whether you’re sweating through a city heatwave or posted up by the coast, these six linen pieces will keep you looking sharp and feeling chill.
