5 linen garments for this summer that go beyond the typical shirt

SHOPPINGFrom the Zara dress to the Mango trench, going through the Uniqlo jumpsuit or the Castañer espadrilles. 5 purchases starring linen that are anything but predictable

By Marina Valera

Linen garments are to summer what wool garments are to winter. The quintessential summer fabric reappears season after season with the promise of keeping us cool without giving up elegance in the face of rising temperatures. Firms such as Uniqlo, whose linen line is one of the most anticipated, as well as Zara and Mango, which have special collections, attest to their commercial importance at this time. The collaboration of lemlem, Liya Kebede's firm, with H&M also highlights its sustainable vocation: the capsule collection created by the Swedish giant and the famous Ethiopian model is made up of caftans, dresses and pants, among other pieces, made of polyester recycled, Tencel ™ Lyocell and, the fabric at hand, organic linen.

The fact that the Spanish brand Castañer has designed its famous esparto wedge espadrilles in this material also attests that there is life beyond the most typical purchase of all: the shirt. A good excuse to dive into all these collections in search of other linen garments that are out of the ordinary, even if only a little. From a dress with openwork details that is far from the simple designs that are usually associated with this universe, to a beige trench coat that you will also want to wear over your bathing suits, passing through fluid pants that work from morning to night depending accessories or a jumpsuit that will give your summer wardrobe a new look.
