How to Exclusively Wear Linen This Summer

Much like summer is synonymous with beaches, barbecues, soft serve and logging off early on Fridays, summer and linen just go to together. It's breezy and airy, keeping you cool on the hottest of days. It makes for the best swimsuit cover-up, the best partner for your denim cut-offs. It's pretty much the only thing we want to wear from May to September.

There are many ways to shop linen: You can go straight to the brands we associate with linen, from longtime stalwarts like Eileen Fisher to indie favorites like Fanm Mon; or, you can browse the seasonal capsules that drop right as temperatures start rising.

Below, we've got your comprehensive guide to all things linen for summer — from dresses and jumpsuits to tops and button-downs to pants and shorts.
