Linen had its last big moment in the '90s, when all the most iconic TV characters could be spotted wearing light-colored, oversize linen suits. Open and unbuttoned shirts (6313) were also popular.
Today, men’s linen clothing is back in a big way, but with a fresh twist. We’ve moved away from those baggy fits and embraced more tailored, fitted silhouettes.
This fabric has a history that goes back thousands of years.
The Ancient Egyptians were already using it to make clothing thousands of years ago. It's a super resistant yet lightweight fabric that's perfect for the spring and summer months. When you think of a linen shirt, you probably picture the beach, the pool, sunshine, terraces. But linen isn’t just for coastal escapes anymore—
it’s also become a key fabric for urban fashion. Its loose fits make linen ideal for everyday wear or casual get-togethers.
As we all know,
summer and linen go hand in hand. If you're reading this, now’s the perfect time to update your wardrobe with some of the linen pieces we've curated from the
Pull&Bear online collection.
Choose and style your linen clothing for a summertime look
A linen shirt is a must-have for the warmer months. Keep these three things in mind when choosing the right one for you: color, sleeve length and neckline.
Linen shirts usually come in light colors, but
navy blue and khaki are also great options. For sleeves, choose between short, 3/4 length or long sleeves. And don’t worry — linen is so fresh and light, even long sleeves won’t leave you sweating.
As for the neckline, stand-up collars are really popular, but if you’re a fan of the classic collar, it’s available too.
A linen shirt also
makes a great overshirt, layering perfectly over a basic T-shirt (6323) or one with a subtle print (6325).
Linen pants are the foundation of any summer wardrobe.
Chinos are our pick for adding tons of style to your outfit— available in pants and Bermuda shorts (6308). Pair them with a linen shirt or a short sleeve T-shirt.
Finish off your linen looks with accessories (6245):
pendants and beaded or cord bracelets are the perfect addition to any summer outfit. A belt (6234), cap (6238) or sunglasses (6237) can give your outfit that extra pop of style and personality.
