Linen is surely the official fabric of summer – its floaty, lightweight finish is perfect for even the hottest of days, it can be washed and dried quickly (great for spontaneous seaside trips!), it’s natural and breathable when you’re feeling a bit hot and bothered and it’s timelessly stylish, making it a great match for the rest of your wardrobe. What’s more, it’s great around the home too, with linen curtains, tablecloths and duvet covers all totally on-trend at the moment.
We’re celebrating all things linen here at La Redoute right now with a special section dedicated to this seasonal fabric and some amazing savings on key pieces, too. Take a look at our top picks and stock up on a whole lot of linen this summer…
Linen for your wardrobe
When it comes to summer dressing, we’re all about comfort. Loose silhouettes, breathable fabrics and simple styles are what we need when the temperature’s high… and linen is a winner on all fronts!
This linen buttoned midi dress is a great example of simple, timeless style that looks totally up-to-date – a classic midi dress shape with waist tie and cuffed sleeves in a bright, bold shade is something you’ll wear time and time again.
If you prefer a more androgynous look, these linen peg leg trousers are super sharp and stylish without being tight or restrictive, in a soft blue/grey shade that we can’t get enough of. Take the look to the next level with the matching linen blazer, which is ideal for throwing on when the sun goes down.
For a simply chic work outfit, we’re loving this square neck linen blouse – the floaty shape will keep you cool on a sticky train commute or in stuffy meeting room, and it can be tucked in to a maxi skirt or worn over high waisted shorts.
And finally, for those days when you want ultimate comfort, effortless style and a touch of formality to pull it all together – this smock shape linen shirt dress is total perfection. The shirt collar brings it bang up to date, while the relaxed shape is ideal for sweaty summer days. Wear with chunky flatforms for an off-duty look or go for pointed flats for a visit to the office.
Linen for your home
If there’s one linen item you just need in your home, it’s our best-selling linen duvet covers, sheets and pillowcases with a dinstinctive crumpled look. They come in a range of soft, calming colours to suit your bedroom aesthetic, and they’re made with OEKO-TEX certified linen, meaning there’s less impact on the environment and no harmful chemicals involved. Cool in the summer, warm in the winter and naturally hypoallergenic, linen makes for a fresh choice for bedding. It is also highly absorbent and wicks moisture away. The pre-washed linen is super soft and only gets better over time – a wise investment, and now with 50% off, too!
We’re also loving these beautiful statement print linen cushion covers – throw them on your bed or sofa to add a touch of detail and interest.
For your kitchen or dining room, a linen tablecloth is a great way to bring simple sophistication to your table setting. This sleek style comes in a range of colours to suit your style, and the contrast edging gives it that luxe vibe. Mix and match these linen napkins in a complementary colour to finish the look.
Finally, these light, airy linen curtains are absolutely beautiful in a living space – they let in so much light while also giving you that bit of privacy, so they’re perfect for the summer months when you don’t want to miss that sunshine. Glorious!
