where to find warm‑weather fabrics, with a focus on both high street, designer, and boutique brands—plus how Tellar.co.uk revolutionises sizing. All links are to Tellar.co.uk posts or its social handles.
1. Warm‑Weather Fabrics: What to Choose
Linen
Ultra-breathable and perfect for summer, linen drapes loosely and is ideal for relaxed tailoring—like shirts, trousers, dresses. However, it wrinkles easily. Tip: choose linen‑viscose or linen‑cotton blends to reduce creasing and improve comfort while still staying cool
tellar.co.uk.Cotton Poplin & Oxford
Cotton poplin is crisp and cool—great for shirts and structured summer wear—while Oxford is softer and more casual. Poplin wrinkles, Oxford is more forgiving. For fitted summer tops, poplin’s lack of stretch means sizing accuracy is essential
tellar.co.uk.Viscose
A silky, draping fabric often used for flowy skirts, dresses, and shirts. Lightweight but slightly delicate—check the item description and care instructions. Viscose satins are luxe and fluid, while crepe offers texture. Use Tellar.co.uk sizing to ensure a flattering drape and avoid waist or hip fit issues
tellar.co.uk.Linen Blends & Stretch Cotton
Pair linen with cotton or viscose to combine breathability and resilience. Stretch cotton (1–2% elastane) is perfect for skirts or trousers—a structured look with comfort. Always size with your hips and waist in mind

High Street Staples
Massimo Dutti / Zara / Mango / Uniqlo / M&S: Great for linen, cotton-stretch, and viscose pieces; affordable and stylish.
& Other Stories: Scandinavian romantic style in linen and viscose dresses—sometimes runs small, so sizing check is key
tellar.co.uk.H&M: Offers linen and cotton basics at great prices; sizing varies across ranges, so Tellar size lookup helps.
Boutique Independents and Sustainable Labels
