As the temperatures rise, we’re looking for ways to stay cool but still look good.
Linen is fashion’s perennial summer obsession for a reason. It’s effortless, breathable, and forever capable of making even the hottest days look impossibly chic. Investing in some good-quality linen pieces will ensure you have foolproof staples in your wardrobe when the warmer weather rolls around every year.
If you’re unsure where to start, here are ten looks I recommend.
Faithfull The Brand Capri Pant €260
This little two piece set is sold separately but makes for a great grab and go look. The capri pant is having a moment again and teamed with this polka dot print it gives the most dotey vintage feel. You could also team the top with some white jeans for another look if the full polka dot feels a little daunting to begin with.
M&S Ruffle Dress €60
M&S are brilliant at offering various lengths, not only when it comes to trousers, but also dresses and skirts. So you can pick up this linen maxi in long, regular or short length. It also comes in a beautiful deep red colour too.
DISSH Maxi Skirt €210 and Bubble Top €145
Another two piece set that is great together or as separates. Throw on a black tshirt instead for a more casual approach. Or you could style the bubble hem top with some denim shorts or jeans when the weather dips a little. This would make for a lovely bridal day two look teamed with a little flip flop style kitten heel for an easy breezy laid back look.
NEXT Waistcoat €46 and Shorts €34.50
If you’re after a little more colour in your summer wardrobe, look no further than NEXT. They are bringing the dopamine dressing this summer with their beautiful prints and colour palettes. This set is also available in petite so you can get that perfect fit.
H&M Linen Blend Maternity Shorts €24.99
For any mothers to be out there, H&M have some lovely light weight linen blend shorts to help keep you cool during this hotter period.
COS Drawstring Wide Leg Trousers €69
You can’t go wrong with a pair of wide leg linen trousers. This sky blue style is a beautiful way to inject a little colour into your summer wardrobe too.
Jennifer Slattery Gingham Peplum Top €230
Gingham and linen, it doesn’t get much more summery than this. The peplum style is super easy to wear over billowing skirts, shorts or jeans and will have you feeling so cool and effortless.
Magee 1866 Linen Blend Striped Mini Dress €299
Woven in their Donegal Mill, this mini dress by Magee 1866 can be worn with the sleeves rolled and pinned up or down for comfort. The little tie belt detail is also great for adding a little shape.
The White Company Scoop Neck Jumpsuit €163
Is there anything handier than a one and done outfit? A jumpsuit is a great piece to have in your wardrobe, particularly in this navy hue for a look that you can grab and go time and time again. The elasticated cuff is also super flattering and would be great styled with sandals for a chilled out look or white trainers if you’re on the go.
Kindred of Ireland Pressed Flower Dress €547.95
The dropped waist and v neck shape creates a lovely relaxed feel to this perfect floaty linen dress adorned with pressed flowers for a total soft dream-like easy-to-wear look.
