Sun’s Out, Linen’s On: Shirts That Keep You Cool in the Heat

When the heat kicks in and the air starts to feel thick, there’s one shirt that gets the nod without question: linen. Linen doesn’t fight the heat — it makes peace with it. And if you're worried about wrinkles, rest assured, they are part of the charm. Like a good wine or a well-worn leather chair, it gets better the more you let it be.

The sweet spot is a shirt that’s loose without being baggy, and breathable without feeling paper-thin. Leave a few buttons undone, let your sleeves do what they want, and suddenly it looks like you’ve got plans, even if you're just walking to grab an iced coffee. Pair it with drawstring pants or shorts and you’ve nailed the summer uniform.

This isn’t just about staying cool; it’s about looking like everything is under control, even in 90°F and full sun. Linen shirts aren’t new, but that’s exactly the point: they’ve earned their place.

One good one and you’re set for rooftop drinks, beach weekends, and everything in between.
