Men's linen shirt essential for warm seasons
When the good weather returns, fashion evolves to adapt to the heat while remaining elegant and practical. The linen shirt is the number one choice among the essentials of the mid-season. It combines lightness, comfort and style, while retaining its timeless and chic side. It is also this chic and casual that makes this shirt ideal for the modern man wishing to be comfortable in all circumstances.
The linen shirt: a natural fabric par excellence
As a superior natural fabric, linen is certainly the king of fabrics for summer. Week after week, linen retains its natural freshness thanks to its airy weave offering a feeling of lightness and lasting comfort. This may surprise you but linen resists intense heat and humidity with remarkable ease, much more effectively than synthetic fabrics. This allows the linen shirt to maintain a constant feeling of comfort, even on the hottest summer days. Linen is hypoallergenic and particularly suitable for sensitive skin, guaranteeing optimal comfort throughout the day, unlike synthetic fabrics.
An elegant and easy-to-match design
Linen shirts are a must-have wardrobe staple. There is a wide variety of styles and colors to meet all expectations and occasions.
The linen shirt can be worn for a day in town, at the beach or for a more formal occasion such as a dinner on the terrace, a summer aperitif or a weekend drink. A.de.S.E Antoine de Saint-Exupéry offers you two linen shirts in timeless tones. One with a mandarin collar and the other with a classic collar.
In terms of style, you will appreciate a comfortable and fluid cut, as most models have loose lines that offer elegant freedom of movement. The linen shirt is perfectly combined with linen pants, Bermuda shorts or jeans.
The comfort of the linen shirt when it is hot
One of the greatest advantages of the linen shirt lies in its lightness and its ability to regulate body temperature. Linen allows the skin to breathe freely while promoting harmonious air circulation, unlike thick cotton which retains heat. This natural fabric thus becomes an essential ally to get through the summer months with comfort and elegance. With its breathable fabric, the linen shirt keeps you cool even under the sun’s scorching rays. Its absorption capacity keeps you dry all day long.
Care tips for a linen shirt
Linen reveals all its softness and beauty when it is carefully maintained. Machine wash your linen at 40°C to preserve the linen fiber. For drying, it is best to hang it on a line in the open air. As for ironing, it is recommended to do it slightly damp at a medium temperature (160°C max). This optimizes the softness of the fabric while avoiding creating permanent creases.
A sustainable and responsible trend
In addition to its aesthetic qualities, the linen shirt is an eco-responsible choice. Linen is a natural and eco-responsible fiber since it is grown without pesticides and requires considerably less water than cotton. A.de.S.E Antoine de Saint-Exupéry shirts are made from 100% linen grown and woven in France, guaranteeing an authentic and local product. These shirts, made from 100% French linen certified Masters of Linen™, attest to the excellence and impeccable quality of linen. By adopting a linen shirt, you are committing to an ethical and environmentally responsible approach.
