It might already feel like summer to you (the official start is June 21, BTW) now that the days are heating up, so it's best to be prepared when the air really feels like it's boiling outside. Sounds fun, right? Well, linen is here to help in that department—specifically linen dresses.The natural material is breathable, lightweight, and doesn't cling to your skin, so it's great to wear during the summer months.

Pair them some cute sandals, a straw bag, or even wear 'em over your swimsuit and you've got yourself a certified fresh summer 'fit.
