When the warm weather arrives, we live in linen. Soft, breathable, and airy, it's the perfect fabric for hot, sunny days. That's why we're forgoing the silks and satins for summer and stocking up on linen in all its forms. From belted jumpsuits and matching two-piece sets to relaxed-fitting blouses and work-ready suits, we have linen pieces for any occasion you have on your calendar.

Ahead, you'll find some of our favorite summery looks for work, play, errands, and even vacation featuring this fantastic fabric. Plus, a few key accessories to bring your summer style to the next level.

For Work (or Parties!)

The linen suit is where it's at this season, whether you're headed to the office or a chic night out. We love the at once polished and relaxed look of these high-rise pants ($54, originally $90), especially when paired with the matching collarless blazer ($84, originally $120). Depending on the occasion, go with a simple cami ($27, originally $45) underneath (or dare to go bare!). As for shoes, try some strappy sandals ($725) with a heel for a runway feel, no matter where the day takes you.

For Summertime Parties

For upcoming summer soirées, this two-piece linen maxi skirt and billowy crop top ($494) will turn heads. Dress the look down during the day with flats and a denim jacket, then go all out at night simply with a pair of bold, chunky heels ($425).

For Weekend Lounging

For Weekend Lounging

For a casual weekend of lounging and errands, linen will carry you through looking and feeling your best. Start with a pair of linen shorts ($30, originally $50) (they come in a wide variety of colors), and tuck in a tee. If there's a chill in the air, an oversize linen shirt ($49, originally $70) is just what you need. Wear it open or around your waist for those chill '90s vibes, pop on a pair of sandals ($39, originally $65), and you're set for whatever the weekend brings.

For a Bold Look

For a Bold Look

We love a matching linen look. This bold, maximalist striped set features wide-leg pants ($410) and a high-neck blouse ($410) with statement buttons. Since there's so much happening up top, keep your shoes simple. These classic black flats ($425) will do. Together, it's a stunning, eye-catching outfit that'll elevate your everyday with some serious high-fashion vibes.

For Vacationing

For Vacationing

Jumpsuits make for a perfect vacation look. Slip on one ($595), and all you need are some simple shoes ($695) for a gloriously simple and chic outfit. The wide-leg silhouette and tassel belt just scream long walks by the beach and late-night wine overlooking the water. Plus, the deep V-neck offers just a little bit of flirt, which we'll never say no to.
