J.Crew, Universal Standard, Athleta
When temperatures rise, linen is king. No other fabric is so quintessentially summer, and with good reason. It’s a lightweight, breathable material that is as timeless and chic as it is durable and long-lasting. There aren’t many other fabrics that look just as fabulous when they are freshly pressed as when they’re rumpled and relaxed. What can’t linen do?
Linen clothing — pants in particular — can be incorporated into just about any style aesthetic. They’re more versatile than you might think! Wear them to the office, on a trip to the farmers’ market, while chasing after kids or lounging poolside, either way, they’ll keep you cool and look good doing it.
