If you’re a fan of the relaxed aesthetic that is summer dressing, then there’s no better staple to add to your wardrobe than a brown linen shirt men. It’s naturally absorbent and exceptionally breathable, making it the ideal shirt for warm weather. It’s also less formal than a crisp cotton button-down and more casual than a white tee, towing the line between business casual and weekend smart. And, because linen wrinkles ever-so-slightly, it provides a gentle laidback effect to any outfit.

Who wears the pants in the family?

For a cool and comfortable look, go for this extra slim linen shirt from Todd Snyder. It’s crafted from premium Italian-woven linen, detailed with beige mother of pearl buttons and single cuffs, and features a rounded cutaway collar for a classic finish. Plus, the linen fabric is a little lighter and more breathable than standard cotton, so you’ll stay cool throughout the day.

Another option is this classic linen button-down from Huckberry. It’s made from a super-comfortable blend that resists wrinkling so you can toss it on before heading out and still look sharp when you arrive. Plus, it comes in a suite of warm-weather colors, including light blue and orchid.

For a more polished effect, opt for this slim-fit linen shirt from Eton. It’s woven in Italy from luxe organic linen and is the perfect fit for a summer wedding or work event. It’s also available in a variety of other neutral shades, and pairs well with tailored pants or a sharp pair of chinos. Finish the look with a pair of brown leather flip flops.
