Effortless, breathable and lightweight, no fabric exudes a summer sensibility quite like linen. As well as bringing a homespun appeal, the textile makes a timeless addition to your wardrobe, softening over time to age beautifully. As a natural fibre, linen is continually renewable, so the fibre source can be replenished and harvested again and again, making it a sustainable clothing choice that will stand the test of time.

This season, enjoy lightweight linen in new guises; see neutral co-ords and nonchalant dresses and jumpsuits. We’ve handpicked four of our most-desired linen staples for a distinctly modern spin on summer’s favoured fabric.

In a matter of seasons, head-to-toe dressing has evolved into a tried-and-tested styling trick, and it’s easy to see why. Rendered in a timeless shade of neutral oatmeal, our Lula Bandeau Top and skirt are a classic pairing that you will wear on repeat, whether you’re dressing for events, weekends or anything in between. For laid-back affairs, slip into a pair of easy sandals, or exude elegance at elevated occasions with accents of silver jewellery and a pair of leather heeled sandals.

Humble and understated, yet reliably cool, build your summer outfits around breathable linen shorts. Designed from a beautifully relaxed shape, they offer a relaxed approach to everyday dressing. From classic black to timeless ivory, keep things casual by pairing it with a relaxed tee or a matching shirt and step into a pair of comfy sandals. Complete your look by throwing on a staple Bibi Bag for warm days spent strolling in the city.
