For some reason, linen has never really been a fabric that I've warmed to. I think it's due to my reluctance to buy clothing that is so obviously restricted to the summer months which, in UK terms, usually means a period of about eight weeks. I'd much rather buy something I can justifiably wear all year round. Historically, I have also never been someone who feels comfortable in that "bohemian beach-dweller" vibe that so often dominates summer collections.

But this season, due to the glorious weather ahead, I have conceded that actually linen might be just what I need right now, and the more I browsed 2025's offering, the more I found my attitude changing. Far from the free-flowing frocks that previously defined the trend, now linen comes in a wider range of styles, including short sets and clean-lined tailored trousers (though we're still huge fans of the linen dress).

5 Chic Linen Outfit Ideas to Try This Summer

1. Linen Blazer + Linen Shorts + Ballet Flats

Style Notes: Short suits are a hot ticket item this season, particularly in linen, as it’ll help keep you cool even on the hottest summer days.

2. Linen Shirt + Wide-Leg Trousers + Clogs

Style Notes: Breezy and chic, it’s easy to understand the appeal of a linen shirt. Make like Liv and pair yours with some wide-leg trousers and comfy clogs for a simple warm-weather outfit solution.

4. Linen Midi Dress + Strappy Sandals

Style Notes: If you want to achieve the linen look with minimal effort—or take it to one of the summer events in your calendar—opt for a breezy midi dress in the natural fabric. We'll be wearing strappy sandals with our linen frocks this season.

5. Linen Blouse + Colour-Pop Midi Skirt

Style Notes: Chances are you already have a white linen shirt in your wardrobe. Give it a new lease of life with the addition of a bold skirt, just as Monikh has done here.
