11 Best Affordable Linen Clothing Brands For Breezy Basics
The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.
Move over cotton, there’s another sustainable fabric in town: linen. Grown from flax plants, linen is easy to grow, requires little water, and is biodegradable. Once sourced, it’s durable, resilient, and only gets better (and softer!) with time.
As if that’s not enough, linen clothing is breathable and moisture-wicking, so it will keep you cool through the warmer months and can be comfortably layered in the cooler ones. (It also requires almost zero special care, so sign us up.)
These 11 clothing brands use natural linen for dresses with stunning silhouettes, tapered bottoms, and oversized tops that are as relaxing as they are sustainable. Whether you’re intrigued by its eco-friendly properties or simply want to invest in long-lasting looks, you’ll be pleasantly surprised when you make the switch to linen clothes.
