THE LINEN EDIT 2026

Naturally breathable and lightweight, linen is a staple when it comes to warm-weather dressing. From a lightweight linen jacket to easy-breezy linen skirts, our style guide lends a lesson in seasonal outfitting.

From a sleeveless waistcoat to a short-sleeved shirt, a linen top is known for its everyday ease.

Wear yours with jeans or tailored shorts during the day, while a crochet knit is the perfect layer for al-fresco dining.

SHOP LINEN TOPS

Nothing quite beats the ease of a pair of linen trousers. Best designed with side pockets for practicality, we recommend wide-leg cuts and cropped lengths.

Style yours with a simple t-shirt during the day or a flowing, satin blouse for the evening. Heading abroad? Opt for sandals, a loosely-woven top and a straw hat.

SHOP LINEN TROUSERS

SHOP PETITE TROUSERS

Cleverly shaped with sculpted waistlines and skirts that catch the breeze, a fit-and-flare linen dress is a non-negotiable for summer.

Home or away, style it with espadrilles and a cross-body bag – while a light cardigan is perfect for unpredictable weather forecasts. And when a dress just won’t do it, lean on everyday comfort with a linen jumpsuit.

SHOP LINEN DRESSES

SHOP PETITE DRESSES

Worn as a one-and-done look or styled separately for endless outfit options, a linen co-ord exudes versatility.

Style yours during the day with flats and a shoulder bag, or dress it up for dinner with heeled sandals and a clutch.

SHOP CO-ORDS

The seasonal rendition of weekday tailoring, a linen suit masters sunny days in the office.

Layer a linen blazer over a silk blouse for elegance, while a cotton top and tailored linen trousers strike the perfect balance between smart and casual.
