What are the Perks of Wearing Linen?

Like nothing else, linen is a breathable fabric that allows air to circulate, making you feel cool even on the hottest days. Being a natural quality, it is also super absorbent and wicks moisture, keeping you dry and comfortable. Another quality of linen is that, in this fabric, you naturally radiate a relaxed vibe and look effortlessly stylish. Besides being eco-friendly, it softens with every wash, so it is really durable and sustainable to have in your wardrobe. Make sure you give linen a try to stay cool, comfortable, and chic this summer.

Are Lightweight Linen Dresses Hard to Care for?

The care of your linen dresses is so much easier than you think. A little effort goes a long way in keeping them looking fabulous. Linen will wrinkle, but that is the price you pay for breathability. However, if you can’t take the wrinkles, a good steam or iron will do the trick – this one is my favorite!

Use a gentle cycle and cool or lukewarm water to wash; strong detergents are a no-go. Air drying is the best for linen, as this will stop it from excessive shrinkage and wear in the dryer, which tends to roughen up the texture of the fabric. You can also throw it into the dryer for just a minute when close to dry, and it will help the wrinkles. Look at the care instructions on the tag inside your dress to make sure you’re taking proper steps since washing and drying rules may differ from piece to piece. Following these simple steps will keep your linen pieces looking beautiful and keep you cool all summer long!

Lightweight Linen Dresses for Women

Talbots has a great selection of linen dresses this year, and we’re starting off with a great one. I love fit and flare dresses like this faux wrap shirtdress, since they are flattering to most figures and accentuate the smallest part of your waist. I always am a fan of pockets in dresses – perfect for stashing a tissue or a lipgloss!

Popover dresses make getting dressed an absolute breeze in the summer. Seriously, add a pair of sandals and some shades, and you are ready to go! This one from Chico’s comes in this pretty pink or a gorgeous green.

How fun is this print??? I am obsessed! It reminds me of a tropical version of those blue and white ginger jars! I tend to add belts to dresses like this to give it a little shape, but it looks super cool and comfy just like the model is wearing it.

This v-neck dress from J.Jill is one of those chameleon dresses that you can wear to so many different places! You can dress it up with a block heel or espadrille for church or dinner or dress it down with a white sneaker for the farmers market or mall.

I think we’ve been sleeping on Lands’ End dresses! I knew they had a lot of great swimsuits and cover-ups, but they also have a ton of cute dresses. This one is my favorite midi length, and it comes in three prints and two solids!

This lightweight linen dress would have been a great addition to my Tunic Dresses post! I’m always looking for pieces that you can wear across multiple seasons. This one from Karen Kane would look great now with a dressy sandal and then in the fall, you could style it with a knee high brown leather boots and a matching crossbody bag.

You gurls know I love Quince, and they always have a great selection of linen pieces. This swing dress is made from 100% European linen, and it comes in 10 different color/print options. This is a great everyday dress that you could truly wear anywhere!

There’s nothing I don’t like about this popover dress from Chico’s! The print, the dress length, the pockets—it checks all the boxes. I like how they’ve paired it with a white sandal, but nude or raffia would look great, too!

This Talbots dress is a linen blend, which means it’s made of both cotton and linen. Isn’t the embroidery detailing so pretty? This would look great for a graduation, wedding shower, church, etc. You could even add a white blazer and wear it to the office.
