A Man's Guide to Linen Clothing

Men's Summer Linen Collection
It’s no secret that wearing linen is the effortless key to staying cool during the hot summer months.  But what’s not as clear is how to wear and care for it and where to buy linen pants, shorts, shirts, and suits for men.  Linen is one of the oldest fabrics on record.  Derived from the fibers of the flax plant, linen is the go-to fabric to beat the heat and has been universally accepted as a summer wardrobe essential since the days of the pyramids.  Despite how carefree and easy linen garments may seem, there are some key rules to follow to effectively pull off this style move.

Wearing Linen Pants and Suits for Beach Weddings

Linen is at its best when it’s freshly pressed.  Due to its lightweight nature, it wrinkles easily.  So if you’re planning to rock a linen suit to a formal event like a summer wedding, be sure to iron out those wrinkles like a pro.  Iron your linen garment on a high setting while it’s still damp for the best results.  Additionally, select your linen look for events where you won’t be relegated to sitting for long periods of time.  Similar to how your favorite suit is prone to deep creases and wrinkles after a day at your desk, linen can fall prey to the same problem times ten.

It’s best to purchase linen products that offer a cotton and linen blend.  100% pure linen products tend to stiffen up and get coarse after multiple washes.  But a cotton blend linen item picks up a softer, worn-in feel after a few rounds in the wash.  This makes for a more comfortable wearing experience considering that most of us don’t wear undershirts in summer. 

Buying Quality Linen Cothing for Men

When it comes to buying linen  for men, take the time to invest in great piece.s  It’s all about quality not quantity.   From the cut of the shirt to the feel of the linen, a little extra cash goes a long way.  And speaking of cut and fit, stick to slim fits.  Linen is a loose fabric on its own.  An ill-fitting shirt can billow and give you an unflattering physique, which is never a good look.  The James Perse Canvas Linen Shirt is the perfect example of how to maintain top notch style when temps climb to uncomfortable heights.

Summer Linen Clothing for Men: T-Shirts, Shorts and more

Though shirts are often the linen item of choice, you can now see how linen pants, blazers, and suits can often be appropriate during the summer.   With these simple tips in tow, you should be set to rock your linen all summer in style.
