Comfort & Breathability
Linen is my hot‑weather hero—light, airy, and ultra‑breathable. During last summer’s heatwave my linen shirts kept me noticeably cooler than cotton. Linen wicks moisture away, so you stay fresh and dry.
Cotton feels soft but absorbs rather than wicks sweat, leaving you damp in humid weather.
👉 My pick: linen tops for unbeatable breathability and summer comfort.
Durability & Longevity
My oldest—and most loved—piece is a linen dress that only gets softer with time. Linen fibres strengthen when wet, so garments can last for decades. Yes, it wrinkles more than cotton, but that relaxed texture is half the charm.
Cotton resists wrinkles a bit better, yet it never develops linen’s rich, lived‑in patina.
👉 My pick: linen clothing for heirloom quality and effortless character.
Environmental Friendliness
Linen wins hands‑down. Flax—the plant behind linen—needs far less water and fewer chemicals than cotton. Switching to linen is an easy, beautiful way to shrink your fashion footprint.
