5 Ways To Wear A White Linen Shirt This Summer

Products purchased through this post may earn me a commission. 

Linen Shirt

There’s nothing I love more than keeping things simple and effortless, especially in the summertime! As the weather heats up, I find myself reaching for simple pieces more and more. One of my favorites being this white linen shirt.

What makes linen so special is how comfortable it is to wear in the heat, how versatile, and how beautiful. I’ve worn this white linen shirt with everything from cutoff shorts to dresses, and everything in between. Read on to see 5 ways I’ve styled this shirt over the years.

Linen Shirt
1. Wear It With A Skirt

I love wearing comfortable skirts in the summer like this paper bag waist skirt. It’s easy to throw on and the stretchy waistband helps keep everything in place.

2. Wear It With Shorts

Pair your linen shirt with a cute pair of shorts. These paper bag shorts are one of my favorites thanks to how comfortable they are. Plus, they’re easy to dress up or down depending on your accessories. I chose to wear mine with heels (see full blog post here), but they would look just as cute with slides or sneakers.

Outfit Details: J.Jill Top (similar Amazon top), Above Able Shorts (similar here), Zaful Sunglasses c/o (similar here), Kate Spade Necklace, J.Crew Purse (similar here), Lauren Conrad Heels (similar here)

Linen shirt
3. Wear It With Jeans

Jeans go with everything, and my favorite pair to wear with a white linen shirt is a pair of wide leg jeans. The volume of the linen top helps to balance out the wide hemline on these jeans giving a nice hourglass figure. You can see more of these high waisted jeans in a past blog post here.

4. Wear It With A Dress

As we start to transition into fall, a linen top makes the perfect lightweight layer to extend the life of a summer dress. See more of this outfit from a past blog post here.

Outfit Details: J.Jill Top (similar Amazon top), Urban Outfitters Dress (similar here), Zaful Sunglasses c/o (similar here), Etsy Necklace (similar here), ToGoGo Fashion Purse (similar here), Dolce Vita Shoes (similar here)

Linen Shirt
5. Wear It As A Swimsuit Cover Up

I never go to the beach without my favorite linen shirt, last seen in a past blog post here. It’s great to throw on over a swimsuit as a casual swimsuit cover up.

Outfit Details: J.Jill Top (similar Amazon top), Zaful Shorts c/o (similar here), Victoria’s Secret Swimsuit (similar Amazon set here, similar top, similar bottom), Gordmans Earrings (similar here), Sojos Sunglasses, Steve Madden Sandals

My Mother’s Day started at 4am with a nursing baby My Mother’s Day started at 4am with a nursing baby in my arms, a toddler crawling into my bed and falling asleep on my shoulder, & a doggie sleeping across my legs. 💕 They have no idea what today is, but I’m feeling so blessed to be surrounded by all my babies on Mother’s Day 👶🐶👧 Even if it was at 4am 🥱

Not pictured our dog Sydney. 🐶 I’m so tired I didn’t even notice until after we got these pictures 🤪 I knew I was forgetting something! 🙈

After laboring at home for 2 hours we JUST made it to the hospital maybe 45 minutes before he came out with 2 quick pushes! It all happened so fast my head is still spinning. 🥹 

So thankful my SIL @thedivinemissem77 answered her phone and came quickly to stay with Audrey & my hubby @npbrady9 taking care of everything else as we rushed to the hospital. ♥️ God is so good & we couldn’t be happier with the newest member of our family 🤗
