It’s Hot. Really Hot. You Should Be Wearing Linen.

A bit hot, ain’t it?  It’s typical really. We spend all winter longing for a glimpse of sun, only for us to complain it’s too hot the second it arrives. Our brains melt, the daily commute becomes survival of the fittest, and, perhaps most crucially, we have no idea what to wear. Fortunately, the solution lies with one simple and satisfying word: linen.

From short-sleeve staples to everyday go-to shorts - these nine linen pieces are the answer to summer’s hottest days.

Didcot - Ecru And Multicolour Floral Applique Short-Sleeve Shirt

Everything you’d want in a white short-sleeve shirt. Breathable fabric, easy wear, and with pops of summer splashes throughout in a botanical applique design. This is one that’ll see a lot of wear this summer and beyond.

Eldon - Light Blue Herringbone Cotton Jacket

Not all linen, but all the upside. The Eldon jacket blends cotton and linen to give you the structure of a proper jacket without surrendering the breezy benefits that makes the fabric worth wearing.

Didcot - Black And Multicolour Round Applique Short-Sleeve Shirt

A smart black base adorned with applique designs throughout in cool hues. It’s easy to see why this particular Didcot shirt is a standout - especially when it has matching Kurt shorts, too.

Fintry & Alp - Khaki Linen Suit

For the big day, or any day you want to go big. The Fintry blazer and Alp trousers - 100% linen, fully matched - make a summer suit worth wearing more than once. Even if you’re not the best man, you’ll be the best-dressed man.

Kurt - Black Washed Linen Shorts

A summer staple, perhaps the summer staple. You can’t go wrong with a pair of black linen shorts in summer. And the Kurt shorts offer a relaxed, and an elasticated waistband - because when it’s this hot, comfort comes first.

Kimpton - Beige Washed Linen Jacket

A light layer worth thinking about. The Kimpton is a breezy 100% linen jacket that, paired with the Glencoe or Kurt trousers - or shorts - makes a pretty compelling relaxed suit option.

Didcot - Ecru And Navy Grid Flower Short-Sleeve Shirt

This Didcot shirt comes in 100% linen, and is intricately embroidered with botanical and grid detailing across the fabric. It takes a beautifully simple piece and adds subtle depth and texture.

Kurt - Beige Washed Linen Relaxed Fit Trousers

If linen is the fabric of summer, beige is the colour. Put them together in a fan-favourite trouser silhouette, and you have the pair you reach for when the temperature's through the roof.

Didcot - Blue And Ecru Floral Applique Short-Sleeve Shirt

Another Didcot worth finishing on. This one has a clean light blue base with white botanical applique flowers on the front - texture, depth, and thanks to the cotton-linen blend, the right balance of structure and breathability.
