This is the 1 linen shirt I own that doesn’t turn into a wrinkly mess — and it doesn’t give off 'old man' vibes either

A few fabrics are synonymous with summertime, but linen takes the No. 1 spot. While it’s the best bedding fabric for keeping hot sleepers cool during the warmer months, it’s also the best to wear when the sun’s beating down on your back.
With this in mind, I always keep a linen shirt on deck as part of my summer wardrobe. What I (and so many others, I’m sure) hate most about linen shirts, though, is that they tend to wrinkle so easily and tend to look a bit old-fashioned.
I’ve found the best simple linen shirt that somehow beats both of these common claims, and it’s on sale right now at Banana Republic Factory!
I bought the Banana Republic Slim Linen-Cotton Shirt during the store’s Easter sale in April, and a month later, it’s still on sale! I wore it to a waterfront brunch shortly after receiving it in the mail (about two weeks after placing my order), and it passed both the vibe check and the wrinkle check.
Throughout the day, I received tons of compliments on how well it fit my body and how gorgeous the color was. For context, I bought it in an XL, my usual size, and the Maverick Tan color, which I believe looks best on any complexion.
So, let’s talk about the fit. This Slim Linen-Cotton Shirt has a unique untucked fit designed with a shorter hemline to fit right at the hips. This thoughtful design keeps you from looking frumpy and unkempt like most linen shirts do. Instead, it gives you a slightly more tailored fit with room in the arms and stomach to move freely without snagging.
This super luxe linen shirt also has a band collar that adds a modern and clean touch to any look. Whether wearing it with jeans, chinos or even shorts, this simple collar is always a smart choice.
Most importantly, though, after returning home and wearing this linen shirt for about five hours, I noticed minimal wrinkling. There were slight wrinkles at my waist from constant sitting and rising, but that happens with any shirt, so the Banana Republic Slim Linen-Cotton Shirt passed the wrinkle test with flying colors.
Snag this best-selling linen shirt for summer. You won’t regret it!
