The summers are all about linen- be it linen shirts, linen frocks, linen pants or trousers, shorts and even bed sheets. And the

reason is – linen is a high absorbent and good conductor of heat. It is the coolest of garments and is two to three times stronger

than cotton. Linen is one of the few fabrics that gets better with age – the clothes made of linen with each wash become softer,

stronger smoother and more lustrous.
In addition to the above mentioned qualities, linen is anti-bacterial, UV protective and non-static, non-allergenic and lint free.

All of these properties make this fabric a healthy fabric, which is why many people are shifting to linen clothing and beddings.

Also, besides having a positive effect on the wearer’s overall well-being, the linen fabric definitely looks and feels good. The

fabric is known for its rich look and comfort. Also, linen is easy to sew and can be manipulated into different designs – be it

dresses, kaftans, gowns, suits, jump suits, trousers, and yes, of course linen shirts ...
... – one of the closet must have for men as well

as women.
Linen Shirts – what’s so special?

not going to cling to your body, it’s going to keep you cool and you will look effortlessly elegant.
The thing about linen shirts that attracts men and women of all ages is – the combination of comfort and style.
Linen Shirts in different hues
Linen shirts be it in beige, white, pink, azure, blue, brown or even purple exude charm and confidence. Usually dark colored linen

shirts go well with white, gray or beige linen pants. If you are opting for a white linen shirt then go with dark colored, gray or

beige linen trousers. White linen shirts and blue denim jeans look plain fab.
Linen Shirts – All year wear
Well if you thought linen shirts are for summers only, then you were wrong. Linen as a fabric is ideal to wear during winters as

well. In summers, the fabric dissipates heat while in winter it retains body heat thus creating a micro niche for the skin.
