Our Favorite Linen Clothing Pieces on Amazon Are All About Color

There's no material more synonymous with summer than linen. With good reason: Not only is the breezy fabric lightweight enough to stand up to heatwaves, but the perfectly lived-in look is ideal for laid-back lunches al fresco and lazy strolls on the beach — when wearing anything too tailored feels like a monumental task.

What's more, it's a style that's easy to elevate. Pair your linen button-down with a structured straw bag for a day around town; zhuzh up your linen dress with your tallest, strappiest sandals for fancy dinners; wrap a patterned linen skirt around your favorite swimsuit to take your look from the boardwalk to happy hour. If you haven't already stocked up on new linen clothing pieces for the summer, these 17 options from Amazon include something for every summer activity:

Tallows Shorts

Leave it to swim brand Vitamin A to make the ultimate breezy linen shorts. They come in 11 colors and prints so you can stock up for the season.

Pull-On Shorts

Consider these bubblegum pink linen shorts the elevated equivalent of loungewear; thanks to a pull-on waist, they’re just as comfortable but look twice as polished.

Off-Shoulder Dress

You can never have too many beachy dresses stowed away for your next holiday. With waist cut-outs and a breezy silhouette, this short sleeve midi is especially great when you want something comfortable after a day in the sun.

Simona Linen Top

This linen crop top in a soft lavender shade deserves a spot in your weekend rotation. Keep it simple with jeans or a white skirt and let the pretty pastel make the statement.

Jenna Skirt

Let this teeny black skirt with a mother-of-pearl fringe form the basis of your summer going-out wardrobe. Twirling encouraged.

Sade Cut-Out Midi

Cut-out detailing along the side and back ensure this lemon-hued midi dress will keep you cool on days spent running around doing errands.

Carrie Shorts

Here’s how you wear shorts to the office: Pick a tailored style in a longer cut, add a belt to cinch the waist, and throw on a knit tee or short sleeve turtleneck to balance out the casual look. Anine Bing’s floral-printed design is up to the task.

Datcha Jumpsuit

From bridal showers to birthdays, this mint green jumpsuit with floral embroidery will see you through any special occasions you have on the calendar.

Mateo Linen Skirt

Complete with a faded ‘70s palette and oversized florals, this wrap skirt has a touch of retro flair to it. We’d pair it with a white tee and leather sandals for a simple look.

Fantasy Asymmetric Dress

If your vacation style is all about bright colors, you’ll want to add this knee-length frock to your packing list. Bold hue aside, the halter style and cut-out detailing are ideal for warmer temps.

Linen 3-Piece Set

The best part of this three-piece set is that there are endless ways to wear it: as a swim cover-up without the crop top, as a dinner look with the shorts swapped out for trousers, or as a daytime look sans button-down.

Lark Dress

Pull out all the stops at your next wedding with this floor-length stunner. Because the tiered asymmetrical skirt and vivid palette are so eye-catching, keep your jewelry to a minimum and you’ll be good to go.

Stretch Linen Pull-On Pant

White linen pants are a versatile summer staple, and Rebecca Taylor’s are even better because they feature a comfy drawstring waist.

Slade Vest

Summer in the city requires something equal parts lightweight and structured. Enter: Rag & Bone’s blazer-inspired vest, which can be worn open or fully buttoned-up.

Mini Dress

To elevate this basic linen dress, go all out with bold earrings and a clashing shoe for some color-blocking.

Bruna Top

Between the sunny palette and watercolor florals, this halter neck top is practically designed for picnics in the park.

Bloo Pants

High-waisted flare trousers call for a wedged espadrille to play up the beachy feel. We like that Simon Miller’s Kelly green pair are tailored enough to wear to work, too.
