Linen Shirts

A linen shirt can serve as an airport layer, beach cover-up, city shirt and evening piece. The best versions feel relaxed without appearing neglected.

What to look for

A useful wardrobe piece should be beautiful, practical and connected to the clothes you already own.

01

Medium-weight linen or a linen blend with controlled transparency

Use this as a quality filter before adding the piece to your wardrobe.

02

A collar that keeps its shape and shoulders that sit cleanly

Use this as a quality filter before adding the piece to your wardrobe.

03

Enough length to wear tucked, open or over swimwear

Use this as a quality filter before adding the piece to your wardrobe.

Before buying, apply the Three Outfit Rule: identify three complete outfits using pieces already in your wardrobe. If the combinations are difficult to name, the purchase may be solving the wrong problem.
