Highsnobiety

As the temperature rises and the days get longer, the wardrobe gets lighter. When it comes to building the perfect summer wardrobe, material is a key consideration.

The days of heavy overshirts are behind us, replaced by short sleeves and breathable constructions. When it gets to crunch time there’s only one champion in the arena of summer materials, and that's linen. Linen has been the fabric of choice since the ancient Egyptians realized its breathable, sweat-wicking qualities, and we haven’t looked back since.

Year on year, the summer season is populated by linen pieces from Cuban collar shirts to relaxed-fit bottoms and we’re here for it. Take your new-season looks to the next level with our favorite linen shirts this season from labels like BODE, Story mfg., and Jacquemus.
