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.
