It’s official- linen is the material of the season. Of course, every summer it becomes a staple of our wardrobes, but 2025 is the year where we are going to seen linen everywhere. Celebs like Meghan Markle, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Cameron Diaz all gravitate towards this easy breezy linen look every summer, and if they can nail it, why can’t you?
Why not start with this V-neck linen-cotton shirt from Cos? You can never go wrong with Cos, but they’ve especially impressed us with this blouse, and the cotton / linen blend makes it more affordable for those of us who aren’t working with an A-Lister budget.
Rendered in a soft rose-pink hue, this modern shirt is made from linen that's blended with cotton for lightness.
At £65, you’ll feel the quality you’re paying for immediately. This shirt would be perfect thrown over a bikini with a pair of flip flops as you’re coming home from the beach, but you’d look equally at home wearing it to a boozy brunch with your pals and paired with a silky skirt and strappy sandals. Everyone needs a high-quality shirt in their wardrobe this summer, and I truly believe that this is the best of the best.

It’s machine-washable, which makes it even easier for women on the go. Coming in both a soft rose-pink hue as well as a dark brown, there’s an option for every woman and every colouring. This modern shirt also features a curved hem and adjustable tabs that create neat folds at each cuff, keeping you looking sharp and smart no matter where you’re off to. It’s a regular fit, and the buttons keep it casual and wearable.
If you ask me, this is a no-brainer, buy it now before it’s too late.
