Hot days, cool dresses

Effortlessly chic and undeniably cool, our linen dresses are the perfect choice for summer. Linen’s natural breathability and moisture-wicking qualities ensure you stay comfortable and stylish on even the warmest days.

Make an impact in this vintage-inspired linen-rich sun dress. The bow detail, fitted waist and graceful midi-length swing skirt make it a sophisticated choice for summer gatherings, while its light and airy nature ensures comfort for exploring new sights or navigating warm outings. Choose from pink, tomato red or sage green.

We’re wearing ours with leather sliders and a statement necklace. Easy summer style, sorted.

Summer’s most versatile style staple

Dress-averse? Linen trousers are your summer saviour and we have a wide variety of styles to choose from.

For a laidback holiday look, choose wide-leg linen trousers. Opt for light colours and neutrals like beige and white to build a versatile summer capsule wardrobe. Pair them with a simple vest top or a loose-fitting linen shirt for an easy, breezy look.

For the ultimate in comfort, whether chilling at home or travelling, choose linen trousers with an elasticated waist. A carrot-style pair gives a modern shape that’s both comfortable and stylish.

Dressing for work in the summer can be tricky. A pure-linen pinstripe blazer and matching linen trousers will see you through the season in style, offering a smart yet breathable solution. Wear both as separates to get even more mileage (and compliments) out of your summer wardrobe.

Linen shirts: Your sunshine essential

An oversized linen shirt is part of our summer capsule wardrobe every year. Make it a girlfriend shirt (less oversized than a boyfriend style) that can be worn tucked in or out, unbuttoned over a cotton vest top or tee, or layered under a sleeveless knitted vest or tie-front cardigan on chillier days.

Classic black, white and beige? Always in. But when the temperature rises, it’s time to turn up the volume and wear bright shades. A pink linen shirt really brings the joy, especially when you clash colours with a red bag.

Sleeveless linen tops are a holiday must-have. They’re the perfect partner for denim boyfriend shorts during daytime and can be easily dressed up with bold bracelets and a maxi skirt come cocktail hour.
