Here are the facts: If you're trying to build a chic and versatile closet then you absolutely need a leather blazer, leather pants, denim jacket, a bomber, trench coat, white button-down, livable boots, everyday sneakers, and some good ol' jeans. But allow me to add yet another staple to that list: linen shirts. Yes, it wasn't too long ago that whenever we were referring to linen material, we were very much talking about sheets. Sheets, as in, covers...on your bed. But now! We're wearing linen a lot more or maybe we're just more conscious of it. Tomatoes, tomatoes.
What are linen shirts good for? Oh, IDK—how about everything?! They're practical pieces that can be worn in the office, at home, on the beach, to brunch (!!) and to bed, hehe. In hot temps, linen shirts will keep you timeless, put together, and way cooler than everyone else (and yes, I mean this in the sense of temp regulation and style ;)) We've got button-downs, oversized ones, halter-necks, boxy silhouettes, bows, ties, ruching, puffed sleeves, cropped tops, tunics, and seriously just so much. You're bound to find the perf one that works for you. Linen is top-tier material but we have a range of comfy price tags to shop. Ahead, 44 easy breezy and super-stylish linen shirts to shop ASAP.
