Linen shirts are having a moment. In fact, every year ever since we can remember linen shirts for women have been having a moment.
You can style linen shirts on their own, or layer loosely over a tank top underneath to cover arms, and provide just a little extra coverage for those days when it’s super sunny to provide an extra layer of sun protection, but also when it is a little too breezy to go fully sleeveless.

Linen shirts are also an ideal cover-up for at the beach, or relaxing poolside, as they are lightweight, breathable, loose-fitting, and conceal any areas you may not want on show.
Whether you pair for your next Sunday walk with a tank top and jeans, or layer over your swimsuit, you will not only look cool but feel it too when you're wearing one.
They come in a variety of colours, and designs; some have collars, some without, pockets, or without, and some even have the sleeves already rolled up, short sleeve, ¾ length or long, so the options are endless.
From M&S and John Lewis to Uniqlo, Gap, & Other Stories and Zara, shoppers are spoilt for choice when shopping for linen shirts, and we have found the best options for women to add to your basket.
