Linen vs linen blend

You can find pure linen fabric shirts as well as linen blend shirts that are crafted with another fabric such as viscose or cotton. A shirt that is 100% linen will be breathable, lightweight, moisture-wicking and very durable. Pure linen may be stiff at first but it will soon develop that gorgeous worn-in look that natural linen has and feel softer each time you wear it.

Linen blend shirts are typically soft from the first wear and are more resistant to creases. Depending on the blend, they may be less breathable than 100% linen.

Button-up linen shirts

Our 100% linen short sleeve button up shirts are certified best sellers at Sussan. They feature a classic collar and button through placket with a shirttail and centre back yoke for a touch of femininity.

Pairing linen with linen

Linen and linen is one of those timeless combinations that always looks sophisticated and put-together. Style a white linen shirt with white linen pants for a fresh, carefree look or tuck it a linen top into a colourful print linen midi skirt for a striking contrast. Linen blouses are ready to take you on weekend adventures with linen culottes and casual shorts while a linen tunic left loose over wide leg linen pants has your resort outfits covered. Keep it basic with a plain linen tee paired with relaxed linen pants or elevate the look with a linen blazer and thoughtful jewellery.

How to style linen short sleeve shirts

Linen shirts have the unique ability to effortlessly carry you through the day and into the night with elegance and simplicity. Short sleeve shirts can be worn all year round with the right pieces.

• Style them under a linen blazer with full length pants for the office
• Layer them under a cute knit jumper or cardigan on cold days
• Unbutton them and wear them over v neck t-shirts and singlets with jeans or joggers
• Tuck them or tie them with a stylish skirt, such as one with a ruffle hem or shirred waistband
• Team them with linen shorts, a Panama hat and slides for warm days
• Contrasted with print bottoms, such as floral skirts and stripe pants

How to best accessorise when wearing linen

Our women’s linen shirts can be as simple or show-stopping as you want them to be. Both print and plain linen can be elevated with accessories. Here’s how:

• Keep it simple and sophisticated with delicate gold or silver jewellery. Think gold hoops, a chain bracelet or a chunky ring
• Contrast a plain linen shirt with a bold print scarf, tied around the neck Hollywood-style
• Slip on some Sussan sunnies with a natural sun hat and your white linen shirt. Pair with denim shorts and cute sandals for a beach-ready look
• Tuck a linen shirt into pants or shorts and add a woven belt for instant definition and style
• Add a staple handbag to take your linen shirt to the next level. To elevate your linen to casual chic, opt for leather or leather-look bags in neutral tones like black and brown
• Layer a floral wrap over a plain linen shirt and pants for an effortless day-to-night outfit
