From free-flowing maxis to our favourite sun dresses, it’s not officially summer until the weather warms just enough to dust off our most-beloved, seasonal styles.
It only takes the slightest hint at summer for us to ditch our best jeans for the slinky, flouncy and fun pieces we pushed to the backs of our wardrobes all winter.
At first, we tactfully layer our summer dresses with blazers and oversized shirts but, as the temperature rises so too does the level of skin we bare.
In the height of the summer heat, donning our favourite styles becomes a matter of necessity as much as a passion. That’s why many of our most pivotal summer staples are crafted from linen.
Linen fabric is a favourite for summer pieces thanks to its breathability, the fact it conducts heat—drawing it away from the body to keep you cool—and is moisture-wicking (keeping you a sweat-free zone).
Thankfully, linen pieces are easy to come by with many of our favourite brands crafting on-trend pieces in the fabric season after season.
From both a practical and style standpoint, investing in chic linen dresses for the long summer months is simply a no-brainer. And, that’s all the argument we (and you) need to warrant shopping the below styles.
