Summer fashion doesn’t have to sacrifice comfort for style. Charles Tyrwhitt’s latest linen collection strikes the perfect balance, offering a range of wardrobe essentials crafted from breathable linen and lightweight cotton-linen blends. Whether you’re strolling through the city, heading out for after-work drinks, or enjoying a weekend in the countryside, these pieces are designed to keep you looking sharp without breaking a sweat.
Linen has long been celebrated for its ability to keep you cool, thanks to its natural breathability and soft texture. Charles Tyrwhitt has mastered this fabric with timeless designs in a color palette that features crisp neutrals, soft blues, and earthy olives—perfect for a refined yet relaxed look.
Spencer Riley, Director of Product Design at Charles Tyrwhitt, explains that linen is the fabric of choice for the warmer months. “The breathability and texture of linen make it an ideal option for the summer,” he says. For those who prefer a polished appearance, Riley recommends pairing a linen jacket with structured shirts like non-iron poplin or Egyptian cotton twill, completed with smart stretch trousers in limestone for a tailored yet breathable outfit.
If you’re aiming for a more casual, off-duty look, try the olive pure linen polo. Light, breathable, and effortlessly chic, it’s perfect for laid-back pub garden afternoons. Combine it with claret pink cotton-linen shorts for a splash of color and maximum comfort.
For outerwear that’s stylish yet lightweight, the linen-stretch Harrington jacket in limestone offers a modern twist on a classic, with just the right amount of structure and breathability. Alternatively, the linen-cotton jacket in limestone provides a smart-casual option, perfect for all-day wear with its sharp tailoring and airy fabric.
To keep your linen wardrobe in top shape, it’s important to follow a few simple care tips. Riley recommends letting natural creases fall into place on a good hanger and opting for professional dry cleaning to preserve the fabric’s quality.
This summer, elevate your style with Charles Tyrwhitt’s linen collection—a perfect blend of ease and elegance designed to make the most of the British summer.
