There are few wardrobe staples with the same transportive quality as one of the best linen shirts, especially a freshly laundered one. Slip one on and picture yourself whisked away to an imaginary world of endless summer holidays: Alain Delon sunbathing on the Côte d’Azur in La Piscine; Sean Connery walking across a Caribbean beach in an early Bond film.
Yet even outside of its aura of cinematic glamor, the linen shirt is also a surprisingly practical piece in the height of the season: On vacation and drying off in a bikini after a swim? A linen shirt can serve as the perfect cover-up. Looking for an effortlessly elevated piece to pair with denim and sandals on a balmy evening? Throw on an oversized iteration—and perhaps even tie it up around the waist à la Gwyneth Paltrow in The Talented Mr. Ripley.
In anticipation of those ever-nearing and much-anticipated summer breaks, then, allow us to introduce you to the very best linen shirts—from closet classics to craft-forward iterations and beyond—for every warm-weather occasion. Dive on in.
Covetable Classics
Master the art of simplicity with a linen shirt as effortless as it is elevated. Rest assured: from James Perse’s sky-blue button-down to The Row’s breezy, back-pleated take, the luxe, lightweight staple comes in a range of fits and hues to suit every wardrobe.
Patterned Pleasures
Yes, the linen shirt may be closely associated with a certain tradition of old-school jet-set holidaying, but that doesn’t mean you can’t turn heads in some more contemporary interpretations too, be it Simon Miller’s striped for Mango or Frame’s tie-dye.
Artisanal Accents
The linen shirt, as it turns out, is the perfect canvas for exceptional craftsmanship. Just look to Gabriela Hearst’s terracotta-colored shirt, complete with intricate paisley-embroidery along, or an artisanal broderie anglaise-detailed button-down, offered alongside a matching skirt, from Chloé’s capsule collaboration with the French swimwear label Eres.
