The piece

How to choose and wear a linen shirt

A relaxed shirt in linen, made for heat. Worn open or untucked, it's the smartest thing to wear when it's too hot for anything else.

How to choose

  • Pure linen breathes; linen-cotton creases less.
  • A camp or soft collar suits it; stiff collars fight the fabric.
  • White, sand, light blue and sage.

Common mistakes

  • ✕Ironing it stiff: linen is meant to look relaxed.
  • ✕Worn under a heavy wool jacket.
  • ✕See-through white linen without a tank underneath where it matters.

Care: Wash cool, hang damp; wrinkles are part of it.

In a capsule: A summer capsule's smart top; replaces the oxford shirt in the heat.
