Linen Clothing
Make a statement this summer. Courtesy of Boden

Since summer is usually a scorcher, you must plan your looks accordingly. That doesn't just mean showing a bit more skin to keep cool, either. You have to pick the right clothing and by that we mean favoring the right materials. Linen is top of the list when it comes to hot weather-forgiving fabrics. The cloth woven from flax is extremely breathable, making it ideal for June, July, August and, in some cases, September. Now you probably already have a picture in your head of slightly muted colors and loose silhouettes. Push that image away because there is fashionable linen clothing out there.

If you're a purest, see Banana Republic's boat-neck crop top, COS' boxy button-down or its tailored shorts, Mango's bow-accented trousers and Fabiana Filippi's tunic. Looking for something more dramatic? Go with a boldly patterned piece. Both ALÉMAIS and Reformation will help you get your sea legs, while Zimmermann's playful romper and slightly embellished midi skirt plus BERNADETTE's open-back halter dress and FARM Rio's wrap skirt are full of florals. Ulla Johnson's lace-accented pristine top is pretty ornate as is H&M's tie-strap top.

Here's the most fashionable linen clothing of the season.
