The linen shirt is the cornerstone of summer fashion. It is a casual type of shirt because of the texture of linen and its properties. A linen shirt will wrinkle, that’s a part of owning a linen shirt. Embrace the structure and its casual feel, thus making it a part of your spring and summer style. Wash them at a low RPM of approx. 400-600, stretch the seams and allow to dry on a hanger.
Shirts with wider collars work just as well when worn buttoned-up or with a tie. If you want to wear a tie with your linen shirt, make sure that the collar is large enough to fit the tie. Not all shirts are designed to accommodate a tie, and if the collar is too small, it does not matter how nice the tie is, it still looks strange.
The linen shirt is by nature just as given to wear tucked into a pair of trousers with a slightly high waist as worn on the outside of a pair of shorts together with sneakers or sandals. Wear the shirt with a pair of jeans or chinos with the collar buttoned-up and with rolled-up sleeves during warm days. Perhaps even neatly ironed for an outdoor, summer dinner party.
Linen isn’t just perfect when making thin shirts, but also comes as a thicker fabric which is ideal for thicker garments such as overshirts. Linen is a good fabric for warm days as it is breathable and allows the wind to enter through the fibres. Linen also dries fast if you wear it after swimming. Experiment with wearing your linen shirts with other outfit combinations, and discover a wonderful garment that is both stylish and comfortable to wear. Beige and lighter garments, for example, go well with white jeans.
