I want to wear nothing but linen shirts and linen suits all the time! I don’t remember having a hotter summer than the one we’re having right now. Linen clothes are such a great way to beat the heat, but I think guys are afraid to try wearing the loose, breathable fabric. There’s an inherent fear of looking like an extra straight off the set of Miami Vice. I totally get this fear, but I’m here to tell you linen is so much more than Mai Tais and South Beach. When done right, one can wear linen from the weekend to the workday. So this summer, take a chance, and ditch the cotton shirts for a linen shirt or suit.
