Linen Is The Most Comfortable Thing To Wear In Lockdown Heat – Here Are The Best Buys From £19.99

As far as summer dressing goes, there’s no better companion to combat the heat than linen. It’s lightweight, comfortable, sustainable and just so happens to be on-trend, too. From tailoring at Victoria Beckham to trousers at Acne Studios and decorative dresses at Gabriela Hearst, the catwalk was awash with easy breezy linen swishing down the catwalk for SS20. And given that we're all currently stuck in lockdown, what better time to embrace this summer saviour, without panicking about unsightly creases?

Lockdown dressing is not without its issues. People seem to fall into one of two camps: those fully embracing comfort in joggers, tracksuits and anything else with an elasticated waist and those looking for a mood boost in something altogether more glamorous.

The good news is that, whichever sort of camper you may be, linen ticks both of those boxes. From joyful puff sleeve dresses to easy shirts and comfy shorts, there's something for every sort of mood.

Better yet the shops are jam packed full of beautiful buys for every budget. From H&M’s puff sleeve blouse at a brilliant £17.99 or Asceno’s minimal polo dressesand suitsthat will become your go-to for every sort of event beyond lockdown. For now, they're just a dream to wear.

Joseph’s lilac blouse, burgundy skirt and zingy lemon trench are a reminder that linen isn’t just available in earthy tones. There are plenty of options from pretty pastels to bold brights and prints galore across everything from blouses to bags and bucket hats.

Linen is often relegated to holiday wardrobes but with so many options outside beach kaftans and casual dresses, it’s the perfect time to add it to your everyday wardrobe, too.
