You have your tickets in hand, your leaves been approved and you are just about as excited about the coming long weekend trip to the beach resort when suddenly the thought strikes you that years for being in the boardroom has left you with very little beachwear. By now you are also, used to being stylish and classy all the time and the garish floral print shirts that are there make you cringe inwardly. You want a wardrobe overhaul, you need one. And you try to zero in on what should the ideal buy under the circumstance. Linen shirts I say.

Linen shirts? Well yes, first let me give you a rough idea of why linen would be the best bet for you. A product of the flax plant, linen is an extremely comfortable summer fabric. Its unique characteristic of absorbing sweat (which you will have a lot of in a humid beach resort) and drying off easily keeps the body really cool on a hot summer day. At the same time as the day turns into an evening and the wind changes direction yet you do not want to get off the soft sand, then the same shirt also provides you a fairly decent protection from the slight dip in temperature. In other words, with one shirt you can consider yourself well attired throughout the day. Also the slight creasing being part of its casually chic look, you need not worry about a creased shirt to the dining hall. That’s the beauty of linen, it extremely chic in its casually formal look.

Not that this means that linen shirts for men are solely for the purpose of a casual outing or a beach holiday only. Not at all, linen shirts on all shades of browns, olives, beiges, rusts and indigos today have a fair market capture in the formal segment too. Especially since the advent of linen into the suit world, formal linen shirts too have become a rage, for the perfect team of that suit or for a semi formal gathering to be worn by itself or with a blazer.

But since here you are off to the beach for a holiday therefore, let’s stick to the casual yet chic look of a linen shirt. Wear it once and you will cringe to wear another fabric next to your skin so easily. As for the head turner than you will be, let’s not even talk about it.

Tanned, smart, chic ready to conquer that is how I can already picture you. Now go get busy shopping for that fantastic ‘linen classy’ look.
