Linen is one of the oldest and most sustainable fabrics in the world—and it remains a go-to material for warm-weather wardrobes. Its breathability, natural fibres, and relaxed elegance make it a summer essential, but styling linen correctly (and choosing the right fit) can make all the difference.

This guide covers:

Why linen is the ultimate summer fabric
Styling tips for men and women
High street and designer linen brands to explore
And how Tellar.co.uk helps you find your exact size in each one.

🌿 Why Choose Linen?

Linen is made from the fibres of the flax plant, and offers a unique set of properties:

Highly breathable: Allows air to flow through naturally, keeping you cool.
Moisture-wicking: Absorbs up to 20% of its weight in moisture before feeling damp.
Anti-bacterial: Naturally resistant to odours.
Biodegradable: One of the most sustainable fabrics on the market.
Durable: Stronger than cotton and softens with each wear.

It’s the perfect blend of form, function, and sustainability—ideal for elevated basics, tailoring, and vacation staples.

👗 Women’s Linen Styling Advice

Tops & Blouses

A button-down linen shirt is a smart staple—wear it tucked into high-waisted trousers or left open over a slip dress. Choose pastel tones or warm neutrals for a polished summer palette.

Linen Dresses

Look for midi or wrap styles in breathable weaves. Brands like Arket and Reformation offer figure-skimming linen dresses in minimalist cuts that suit every body type.

Co-ords & Suits

Linen suits have become a modern classic. For smart casual, pair a tailored linen blazer with shorts or wide-leg trousers. Add sandals or mules to keep the look balanced.

👔 Men’s Linen Styling Advice

Shirts

A crisp linen shirt (long or short-sleeved) is perfect with chinos, denim, or even shorts. Go for soft blue, ecru, or striped patterns for versatility. Roll the sleeves for relaxed polish.

Trousers & Tailoring

Linen trousers offer structure without stiffness. Match with a cotton-linen blend blazer for weddings or garden parties, or go open-collar for a Mediterranean-inspired look.

Accessories

Linen-cotton blend pocket squares or lightweight scarves can upgrade a summer smart-casual outfit without overheating.

Designer linen typically uses washed or organic flax, resulting in a softer hand feel and longer lifespan. These pieces can easily transition from daywear to evening events when styled with the right accessories.

📏 Why Fit Matters More with Linen

Linen doesn’t stretch, so choosing the correct size is crucial for both comfort and style. Ill-fitting linen can look stiff or overly baggy—and shrinkage is possible if washed incorrectly.

That’s where Tellar.co.uk comes in.

Tellar.co.uk takes the guesswork out of shopping. Whether you’re buying a £30 linen blazer from Zara or a £300 suit from Me+Em, Tellar tells you exactly what size to buy—based on your body, not just a size label.
