Linen is a natural and sustainable fabric that is made from the flax plant. It is stronger than cotton and has been used to make clothing and household items for the past 6000 years. The fiber has natural heat and moisture-wicking properties which makes it a popular warm-weather fabric.

You either love or hate linen. It is a high-maintenance fabric because it tends to wrinkle very easily. I love the look and feel of linen clothing and its casual and timeless elegance. Linen pieces are great for the summer months because the fabric breathes and keeps your skin dry. Blending linen with cotton can create a fabric that is easier to care for and still drapes well and feels soft.

Let’s take a look at a few linen pieces that are pretty and timeless.

Breezy Linen Dress Nida in Dusty Blue

Magic Linen specializes in clothing made with Oeko-Tex certified linen. That means that it doesn’t contain any harmful substances and chemicals.

This pretty asymmetrically cut linen dress can be worn loose, or with the linen braid belt – providing two different looks.

Linen Beach Shirt Taos

Another beautiful piece from Magic Linen is this long open shirt that you can wear as a beach cover-up or layered for a casual chic look.

Easy Linen Crops

The linen shop at J.Jill offers easy-to-wear linen pieces. Unlike most linen pants with drawstring waistbands, these crop pants are tailored with a front button and fly and side pockets.

Striped Organic Linen Crinkle Mandarin Collar Shirt

Eileen Fisher is known for her classic designs and use of sustainable business practices. This relaxed mandarin collar shirt is made with crinkled organic linen and has shirring at the back and side slits for a super comfortable fit.

Organic Linen Jersey Crew Neck Top

Linen can also be woven into a jersey knit that adds a little stretch. Another piece from the Eileen Fisher collection is this basic organic linen jersey crew-neck long-sleeve top. It is lightweight with a subtle texture and comes in a variety of colors.

Linen Robe

PARACHUTE creates exquisite linen home furnishings and loungewear. Their linen production comes from Portugal, and they are an Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified business.

This garment-washed robe is a timeless piece that you will have for many years.

Two Palms Drawcord Linen Jacket

Tommy Bahama is not only beach chairs and umbrellas. They have a beautiful linen shop that has classically styled linen pieces and also some fun and trendy items.

This relaxed-fit linen jacket is a perfect layering piece.

Everglade Oasis Two Palms High-Rise Linen Easy Pants

Another fun and fashionable piece from Tommy Bahama. Linen pants tend to typically be solid colors, but here they have added a tropical print.

Linen Lita Shirtdress

Flaherty is a family brand that is dedicated to sustainable practices. They use natural and recycled fabrics in their collections.

This lovely timeless everyday shirtdress is crafted from structured linen that’s lightweight and doesn’t compromise drape and shape.

Striped Linen Elbow Sleeve Crew Neck Tee

The luxury brand Vince uses only the most exquisite fabrics to produce their collections. This timeless striped crew neck top is made of 100% linen and is an easy addition to any wardrobe.
