8 Editor-Loved Linen Clothes to Shop for Summer 2025

After several weeks of temperamental weather, it finally feels like spring in New York City. On sunny, borderline-steamy days, I tend to crave airy, lightweight pieces that are easy to mix and match. That’s why my current shopping list includes plenty of linen layers, all of which I’ve revealed below.

From vacation-ready matching sets to gauzy sundresses, these styles are exactly what you need to step into the warmer seasons. And considering prices start at just $30, there’s never been a better time to indulge in a closet refresh. 

Editor-Loved Linen Clothing for Summer

Anrabess Palazzo High-Waist Trousers

Although I own an embarrassing number of jeans, breezy pants are my go-to choice during this time of year. Currently, I’m eyeing these high-waisted trousers, which would make the perfect addition to my outfit rotation. While linen pants tend to look pretty beachy, this pair is elevated enough to wear around the city or out to dinner, too. Similarly, these gauzy Gap pants have been on my mind ever since a fellow InStyle writer put them on my radar; according to her, they get “softer with each wear.” I plan on snagging multiple colors. 

The Drop Seville Mini Shift Dress

Historically, I have never been a dress person. This year though, I’m trying to step out of my comfort zone by stocking up on easygoing frocks, like this adorable striped shift dress. Made from 100 percent linen, the preppy style is as practical as it is chic. I could definitely see myself pairing it with white sneakers and an oversized tote bag for summer errands. To infuse some color into your wardrobe, you may also want to check out this strapless yellow dress, which would be ideal for an outdoor wedding. 

Anrabess Two-Piece Lounge Set

I’m manifesting lots of beach time this summer, so I obviously had to include this fabulous sand-colored two-piece set in my lineup. The outfit includes a loose tank top and wide-leg pants, and it’s on sale for $40, meaning each item is only $20. I can see myself wearing the ensemble over bathing suits and while lounging around the house.
