This Summer Trend Is Selling Like Crazy, and It’s So Practical

When I was looking through the data on the stories I wrote in May and early June, one thing stood out to me: Who What Wear readers have been buying a ton of linen pieces. H&M linen shorts and a linen blouse from Nordstrom’s newest in-house brand were at the top of the list of most-sold items featured in my stories, and it’s no wonder why. Linen is breathable, lightweight, and typically machine washable, which makes it perfect for hot summer months. Never let them see you sweat!

Below, I rounded up my favorite linen clothing items on the internet, including puff-sleeve dresses, easy midi skirts, cute blouses, breezy pants, miniskirts, and even pajamas. In other words, there’s something for every single day of the week. Scroll down to shop my favorite linen clothes for summer.
