Easy linen shirt outfit for women

A linen shirt can be a versatile player in your warm weather wardrobe. Today’s outfit features a classic button front linen shirt.

For many of us, warmer weather presents its own set of style challenges. Maybe we prefer to keep certain body parts covered. Or we find it difficult to balance our clothing for fluctuating temperatures between warm exteriors and cool, air-conditioned interiors.

Linen is the fabric I reach for most often when the weather warms up. It’s breathable, and comfortable in a range of temperatures. For those of us who like to stay more covered up, either to limit sun exposure or just by personal preference, a linen shirt like this one can be a real workhorse in warmer seasons.

Here I’m wearing a Banana Republic linen shirt in a casual outfit over a tee shirt and silky cargo pants. The shirt keeps me from getting chilled when I pop into air-conditioned stores or offices. (In Southern California, public spaces are often kept at what I consider frigid temperatures from May to November.)

And it provides some sun coverage on my arms, as well as adding another dimension to the outfit.

Budget-friendly options for this look:

Shirt | Pants | Bag | Sandals

And of course you can always wear the shirt buttoned, as a single layer. Or knot in the front for a fun look! What do you think? How would you wear this linen shirt?

There’s still time…

We still have a couple of spots open for personal color analysis this weekend during the Red Leopard Color Event! Manina from Red Leopard and I will be doing color analysis sessions in Los Angeles, with makeup by professional makeup artist Brian Haugen. This was such a fun event last time, and I hope you can join us!
