Linen is the fabric of the moment right now—the luxurious material has seemingly infiltrated the stock of nearly every store’s clothing selection. Given its stylish look and comfortable feel, it’s easy to understand the material’s soaring popularity, and when coupled with popular fashion trends like the coastal grandmother aesthetic, style savants and everyday shoppers alike clearly can’t get enough of the multi-faceted textile.
If you’ve yet to make your first linen clothing purchase, there’s no better time to do so than summer. The lightweight and breezy material is ultra-comfortable without sacrificing style, which ensures you’ll look chic and put-together without having to count down the minutes until you can go home and change. No matter the occasion, there’s a linen garment that will look stunning while offering summer-friendly comfort, and we’ve rounded up nine of the best pieces on the market right now.
Abercrombie & Fitch Oversized Linen-Blend Shirt
Abercrombie & Fitch’s Oversized Linen-Blend Shirt is the ideal capsule wardrobe essential.
A classic linen button-up has become a staple laying piece, and Abercrombie & Fitch’s Oversized Linen Blend Shirt is a gorgeous, affordable option. Shoppable in women’s sizes XXS through XL, the relaxed-fit shirt comes in five colorways that are so good you’ll want one of each.
With its curved hem and oversized chest pocket detail, this button-up can easily be dressed up or down depending on the vibe you’re going for. Wear it to the beach as a cover-up, with a bodysuit and linen trousers for an elevated look, or to brunch over a casual dress—the options are endless with a piece this versatile.
Reformation Suki Top
This crop top from Reformation is fashion-forward and perfect for layering.
Crop tops are also having a moment right now, especially when paired with high-waisted pants and a layering top (like the Abercrombie button-up!). If you’re into the crop top trend or want to give it a try, Reformation’s Suki Top is a stunning option. The cropped linen tank features feminine ruching, a delicate back tie detail, and a structured square neckline.
Shop the look in women’s sizes XS through XL, and choose from a deep olive green or classic white—or grab one of each.
Free People Pack Me Up Pants
Make every moment luxurious and airy with these pants from Free People.
Speaking of high-waisted pants, Free People’s Pack Me Up Pants are the dreamiest linen pants we’ve laid eyes on. With an ultra wide-leg silhouette, billowy material, and a figure-flattering inverted point waistband, the linen pants are breezy, comfortable, and chic.
Available in women’s sizes XS through XL in black and cream colorways, these pants are a neutral, timeless piece that will live in your wardrobe for years to come.
Reformation Autumn Linen Jumpsuit
A jumpsuit is a one-and-done outfit, and this linen number from Reformation might be one of our favorites.
If you suffer from decision paralysis when putting outfits together, a jumpsuit is your best friend—and Reformation’s Autumn Linen Jumpsuit will have you looking effortlessly put together. Shoppable in women’s sizes 0 through 12, the open-back jumpsuit comes in solid black or a vertical black and white stripe print. The garment features a fitted bodice, relaxed pants, wide straps that crisscross along the shoulders, and an open back for added “wow” factor. It’s a piece that’ll never go out of style, earning a permanent place in your closet.
By Anthropologie Linen Dolman Top
Keep things simple with the Linen Dolman Top from Anthropologie.
No wardrobe is complete without a few dependable basics, and Anthropologie’s Linen Dolman Top is a simple but interesting shirt that you’ll reach for time and time again. Available in women’s sizes XXS through XL, the top has an oversized silhouette with a slightly cropped hem, fitting wide in the shoulders, neck, and sleeves. Choose from white or beige, or snag one of each, and wear it tied at the front with the Abercrombie button-up and Free People pants for a coastal grandmother-inspired moment.

Reformation Baela Linen Dress
We found the dress you’ll want to wear to every summer wedding.
Looking for a linen number for a formal occasion? Consider the breathtaking Baela Linen Dress from Reformation. The romantic off-the-shoulder midi gently skims over the figure and features a ruffled bust and dropped empire waist.
The design comes in three solid colors—we love the classic white—as well as two enchanting floral prints. The Willow colorway is especially dreamy and would be a showstopper at a summer wedding. Shop the look in women’s sizes 0 through 12.
Banana Republic Palma 4” Linen Shorts
For a stylish option that can go from a relaxed casual office to happy hour with ease, opt for these linen shorts from Banana Republic.
Breathable and lightweight, luxurious yet relaxed: These are all characteristics of Banana Republic’s chic Palma 4” Linen Shorts. Shoppable in women’s sizes 0 through 20 in regular sizing and 00 through 14 in petite measurements, the high-waisted bottoms are available in beige, camo green, and black. The shorter inseam has the hem resting at the mid-thigh mark, which is flattering on every body type, as is the relaxed straight leg fit and pleated detailing at the front of the garment.
While you can complete the set with the matching Palma Linen Blazer ($230), these shorts would also pair beautifully with the Suki crop top, the Dolman-style shirt from Anthropologie, and Abercrombie’s oversized button-up—if you’re purchasing one, you should probably just buy them all, right?
Reformation Kerrigan Linen Dress
The Reformation Kerrigan Linen Dress might be one of our favorites of the season.
If you’re a dress girlie and you don’t already own the perfect mini dress, allow us to introduce you to Reformation’s Kerrigan Linen Dress. Even if you do feel like you own the mini dress of all mini dresses, the Kerrigan might have you making room in your closet for one more. Available in women’s sizes 0 through 12, the linen number features a figure-flattering faux wrap skirt, a square neckline with wide shoulder straps, and a mid-thigh-length hem. The mini dress comes in five colorways, but we’re partial to two: Cafe is stunning for light-to-mid-tone complexions, and Tuscan Sun is jaw-dropping on mid-to-deep skin tones.
Abercrombie & Fitch Linen-Blend Tailored Wide Leg Pants
Feel easy and breezy with these pants from Abercrombie & Fitch.
In addition to the beautifully breezy Free People pants, consider adding Abercrombie & Fitch’s Linen-Blend Tailored Wide Leg Pants to your wardrobe. The ultra-high-waisted trousers are much more structured than the billowing Free People bottoms, which makes them perfect for a more elevated, dressed-up look. With an extremely flattering fit and seven colorways to choose from, you just might find yourself purchasing more than one pair. Shop the look in sizes XXS through XXL in short, regular, and long lengths.
