The cool, neutral linen edit: your only summer essential
Shop the best men’s linen shirts, shorts, tees, shoes and sets for summer 2025/26 – all in easy neutrals that work with everything
SUMMER DRESSING REALLY COMES DOWN TO ONE FABRIC – linen. It keeps you cool, looks intentionally relaxed, and has that effortless “I’m not trying, but it’s working” energy we appreciate. And while brands like Ralph Lauren, J.Crew and a handful of Australian labels have long perfected the formula, the real trick is knowing which pieces actually earn their place in your wardrobe.
Whether you’re heading to a long lunch, a beach weekend or just trying to get through a humid commute, linen is the one warm-weather staple that consistently shows up.
Below, take a look at the cool, neutral edit built for summer 2025/26 – the pieces worth wearing on repeat all season.
