When summer heat sets in, linen becomes a go-to fabric for its breathability and effortless style. But not all linen is the same; different linen blends serve different purposes in your wardrobe. From pure linen for maximum airflow to cotton-linen blends for softness or rayon blends for a smoother drape, each option offers its own advantages. Understanding these differences can help you choose pieces that not only keep you cool but also match your comfort, style, and daily needs throughout the season.
Our Summer 2026 Collection debuts contemporary and signature styles reimagined for the season. To help you build that perfect warm-weather rotation, we offer breathable linen pieces of almost every category, ensuring you can enjoy this versatile fabric in everything from tailored separates to relaxed everyday essentials.
Satin Back Linen
A combination of flow and familiarity, our Satin Back Linen fabrication is composed of a viscose-rich blend with equal parts linen and rayon. This linen blend lends an easygoing construction with a gorgeous, fluid drape reminiscent of satin. More luxurious than 100% linen, this blend is featured in our Century Cinched Pant, our wide-leg summer pant. This feminine, sophisticated fabric works well for this silhouette, allowing for graceful movement that sways as you walk.
Fine Linen Jersey
When it comes to your classic summertime t-shirt, our Fine Linen Jersey is the ideal ratio of linen to fiber. This fabrication features an almost-even split between linen and modal, a plant-based textile known for its breathability, durability, moisture-wicking properties, and resistance to shrinkage. Experience the luxury of our special knit with the Charli Crew, crafted with a silk-like handfeel much softer than cotton.
Simple Twill Linen
A special hybrid of twill and linen, our Simple Twill Linen offers the best of both worlds—the durability and wrinkle-resistance of twill and summer breathability of linen. Cotton carries the weight with this fabric, lending structure and polish often associated with tailored garments. The lyocell worked into this composition adds comfort, while linen adds breathability and helps regulate temperature. Lastly, a hint of elastane completes the fabric with comfortable stretch. We redesigned our best-selling Everett in Simple Twill Linen for the summer.
Luxe Yarndye Linen
Lastly, we're highlighting our Luxe Yarndye Linen fabrication. Crafted from 100% premium linen, this fabric is composed of individual yarns that undergo a dye process before being weaved together. The result of this special process is an intricate, multi-color design with a textured construction that is resistant to fading and bleeding. To sharpen the summer season, we designed the Leo Blazer, showcasing unique brown tones that add a sophisticated edge to your dressier ensembles.
Linen remains a definitive fabric choice for warm seasons. By understanding how different linen blends perform, you can build a summer wardrobe that works with you, not against you. Whether you lean toward airy essentials or more refined pieces, the right linen will keep you cool, confident, and effortlessly put together all season long.
