Woman wearing a linen shirt and pants outfit.

When it comes to summer dressing, I’m all about outfits that exude an effortless elegance. Lately, every look I’ve been liking and saving on Instagram has one thing in common—linen. Linen is one of my favorite fabrics for summer. There’s no doubt the chic and breezy texture exudes a casual sophistication and looks just as chic on the beach as it does in the city, proving just how versatile linen can be. While it’s always handy to have a steamer or iron on hand for a crisper city look, a few wrinkles and crinkles just add to its raw, natural charm.

If you’re searching for outfit inspiration featuring linen, then take a look below, as I’m sharing plenty of fashion-forward ensembles that you can re-create for a laid-back luxe look this summer. These outfits will keep you cool and looking chic in the sweltering heat. Keep scrolling to shop the looks for yourself.
