Women's Linen Tops

Yes. A linen button-down or structured blouse in a solid neutral color is widely accepted as business casual. Linen's natural texture adds sophistication without looking stiff. For maximum polish, choose a fitted cut and tuck it in. Relaxed oversized styles work better for creative or casual offices.

Some wrinkling is normal and expected with linen \u2014 it's not a flaw, it's part of the fabric. The soft creases give linen its distinctive relaxed character. If you want a crisper look, iron while slightly damp or use a garment steamer. There's no such thing as wrinkle-free pure linen.

Lightweight linen in pale colors can be slightly translucent. Our linen tops are made from mid-weight European flax, which provides good coverage in most styles. For white or cream, a nude undergarment solves any transparency. Darker colors and denser weaves are fully opaque.

Linen looks best with a bit of ease \u2014 not tight, but not swimming in fabric either. The fabric drapes naturally and doesn't cling, so a relaxed fit is the sweet spot. We offer both fitted and oversized styles. Fitted blouses work well for work; oversized shirts are perfect for casual layering.

Linen is one of the most breathable natural fabrics \u2014 it absorbs moisture well and dries faster than cotton, making sweat marks less visible. Lighter colors like white and natural may show moisture briefly, but it evaporates quickly. For maximum discretion, choose medium tones or patterns.

Machine wash at 30\u00b0C on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not tumble dry \u2014 hang or lay flat to dry. Linen shirts get softer with every wash. Dry cleaning is usually unnecessary for pure linen. Iron while slightly damp for a crisp look, or wear as-is for the natural linen texture.
