On the hottest days of summer, when air conditioning is scarce and sweat is inevitable, the only sensible thing to wear is a basic T-shirt. As soon as it hits mid-July, few outfits feel as comfortable and effortlessly cool as a relaxed tee and jean shorts. Not just any T-shirt will fit the bill, though. Breezy, lightweight linen is by far the optimal choice for surviving the soaring temperatures.
Luckily, there is no shortage of great linen tee options available to shop right now. We rounded up some of the best ones in a variety of colors, fits, and price ranges. This summer, there's no need to sweat through excessively tight crop tops or stiff corset-style blouses when you have linen at the ready.
Madewell Linen-Blend Asbury Tee
The Madewell Linen-Blend Asbury Tee ($40) has tons of five-star reviews heralding its drapey fit. The soft linen is blended with a fabric made from recycled materials, too. Choose between black, brown, white, or red.
Vince Linen Relaxed Crew Tee
If you prefer a more fitted look, try this Vince Linen Relaxed Crew Tee ($125). With a higher neck and longer sleeves, it's slightly more polished than your average tee.
Banana Republic Linen Scoop-Neck T-Shirt
The quality of the Banana Republic Linen Scoop-Neck T-Shirt ($$40-$45) simply can't be matched. It straddles the line between loose and fitted for the perfect versatile staple. We like the inky black option.
Frame Classic Linen Crew Tee
The marled heather grey color of this Frame Classic Linen Crew Tee ($105) complements the fabric so well. Consider this lightweight choice if you're in the mood for a splurge.
Veronica Beard Benji Striped Linen T-Shirt
The Veronica Beard Benji Striped Linen T-Shirt ($200) is the opposite of the plain white tee. It's fun, patterned, and summery, without sacrificing the comfort of your favorite worn-in T-shirt.
Banana Republic Linen Roll-Cuff Tank
Even though it is technically a tank, this linen top ($40) from Banana Republic is like a tee with the sleeves rolled up. The roll-cuff element gives this piece a sporty look that would pair perfectly with denim cut-offs.
Theory Linen Blend Easy Tee
The wide-ribbed hem of the Theory Linen Blend Easy Tee ($159) makes it stand out from other simple T-shirts. It comes in clover green and an oatmeal shade.
COS Linen T-Shirt
Another basic crewneck, the COS Linen T-Shirt ($35) is an especially breathable option. It's a true neutral — not too fitted and not too loose.
