We are officially in linen season. This breezy and comfortable fabric is equal parts practical and chic. And while linen pieces could sit in the “anti-trend” category (they are classic and consistently a seasonal go-to), linen silhouettes are quite the modern and forward choice right now. One of my fellow editors recently declared her adoration for linen pants as an alternative to jeans for summer. Aside from pants, linen tailoring, tops, dresses, and skirts are also standout styles.
Where to find the most fashionable linen items? J.Crew (many are on sale right now!), Nordstrom, and Reformation stock some of the best linen pieces. On that note, I scrolled through this trio of retailers to curate an edit of my favorite linen and linen-blend pieces that are so chic and will elevate any look when incorporated into a summer ensemble.
