A lot of fashion girls will say that Fall is the most exciting season to dress for, but I'm here to vouch for Summer. Between the breezy silhouettes and bright whites, I'm all for the ease and effortlessness of Summer dressing. But it's not just one silhouette or a hue I love most, it's actually a fabric: linen. Breathable in heat and humidity, linen helps keep you cool, but it also has the ability to help you look polished when the last thing you want to think about in 90 degree weather is what to wear — but only if you pick the right pieces. Right now, Banana Republic is full of stylish linen pieces that tap into that aforementioned ease and effortlessness, while also giving you that clean, crisp, and tailored look. Ahead, discover the linen pieces that just might convince you that Summer fashion is the best fashion.
1 Linen-Blend Button-Front Dress
A button-front dress ($149) is a warm-weather staple, and the modern square neckline and fit-and-flare silhouette of this piece kick it up a notch on the "dressy" ladder. I'd wear this with strappy kitten heels and a top-handle bag for date night or even a casual Summer wedding!
2 Linen-Blend Cropped Jumpsuit
I'm a firm believer that a girl can never have too many cropped, wide-leg jumpsuits, since they're equal parts relaxed and flattering — you can throw them on for literally anything and look put-together. This wide-leg jumpsuit ($139) comes in a neutral khaki hue that's the perfect canvas for tan leather accessories.
3 High-Rise Wide-Leg Linen-Cotton Cropped Pant
While wide-leg cropped pants are definitely an all-season staple, throw some thin pinstripes and lightweight linen into the mix, and you've suddenly got a Summer-ready piece. A white blouse and white accessories will take these wide-leg pants ($98.50) to the office.
4 Linen Sweater Tank
There are such things as Summer sweaters, and this sweater tank ($59.50) is one of them! Tuck it into jeans or anything high-waisted (I love a midi slip skirt) for an easy, elevated outfit.
5 High-Rise 5" Linen-Cotton Short
If you thought living in denim shorts was easy, just wait until you try linen shorts ($69.50) — they're even easier. These feature a paper bag waist and utility belt for an on-trend twist. Plus, unlike most denim shorts, these can even be office-appropriate when you throw on a blazer. Trust me, I've tried it!
6 Linen-Cotton Midi Dress
Flirty and feminine, this flounce-hem midi dress ($139) highlights all your curves. Play up the ladylike silhouette with pretty accessories like statement earrings for brunch, or go for contrast in a leather jacket for dinner.
7 Linen-Blend Cropped Jumpsuit
Buttons and a belt add modern touches and enough detail to this wide-leg jumpsuit ($149) that it's a one-and-done outfit. But if you're in the mood for a little styling, I love the idea of combining the neutral khaki colour with all-organic textures like tortoiseshell, straw, and wood.
8 Linen-Blend Cropped Jumpsuit
With the high neck and clean lines, this wide-leg jumpsuit ($139) is sleek and sophisticated — perfect for when you want to look ultra polished, but still feel cool and comfortable. Chunky, statement gold jewellery will stand out against the minimal design.
9 Linen-Cotton Wrap Skirt
Your warm-weather version of a pencil skirt, this wrap skirt ($98.50) is the answer to all your Summer workwear conundrums. Just add a blouse or sweater and sharp leather accessories!
