A few years ago, as I fell head first into my 30s, I made a pact with myself to try to be the kind of chic woman who wears linen all summer long. You know the type. Think Meryl Streep or Diane Keaton in every Nancy Meyers movie (goals)—the kind who floats down to the farmers market every weekend with a basket bag slung over her arm and a linen shirt billowing behind her. Okay, that part might be slightly more difficult to re-create while living in London, but the effortlessness of a linen outfit is something we can all realistically achieve.
There’s just something about a linen dress, button-down or pair of trousers that feels so timeless, ageless and polished—am I right? And with the weather warming up right now, I can practically feel myself being drawn to the elegance of crisp linen outfits to stay looking chic in the heat.
Luckily, while a linen outfit may look expensive, it doesn’t necessarily have to be. The high street has some amazing pieces, and H&M has been my particular go-to for linen over the last few summers. This season, the high-street stalwart seems to have outdone itself, though, with a drop of linen pieces that has Who What Wear editors and influencers talking. India Sehmi, Claudia Berresford and Rachael Clifton have all shared the delights of H&M’s linen on their Instagram stories in the past, from the shorts to the shirts and wide-leg trousers.
So without further ado, keep scrolling to see the most expensive-looking H&M linen pieces. You’re welcome.
