LINEN is all we live in and want to wear when the summer hits, including any trips and holidays too.
Linen is a lightweight and breathable fabric, and there are some stunning fashion items we see return summer after summer.
Linen shirts are a classic wardrobe essential we live in, whether you loosely wear over a tank top, or t-shirt, jeans, or drape over a bikini as a cover up, for super flattering and easy styling.
There's plenty of fabulous linen sets on the high street right now too.
From gorgeous linen co-ords in the form of a shirt and shorts, or shirt and trousers, to linen waistcoats, and dresses; there's plenty to choose from.
Whether you go for classic white and black shades, or inject a pop of colour into your wardrobe, with vibrant greens and pink linen numbers, linen is the perfect choice for summer.
