Best linen shirt now online!

You may remember I was going on about a striped linen shirt the other day that wasn’t available online well NOW IT IS. Here is the link.

Yes, okay, it is not cheap but it is absolutely the nicest thing I own at the moment. I was, like, grateful to the girl on the till for taking my money in exchange for it.

It is soft, chic, drapes really nicely, washes with no drama. It’s cool on a hot day and not all slimy and cold over hot skin, like pure cotton can be – but it’s also warm on a cooler spring day. It’s not even especially creasy, perhaps expensive linen creases less?

I have worn it probably every other day since buying it. This is one of those expensive things that is properly worth it. People ask me where I got it. This is the real deal.

I am a 10-12 and took an M and it’s perfect. Wear with light wash jeans, or denim shorts, or white boyfriend jeans, or as a nightshirt, or open over a t-shirt, or under a sweater.

    Oh god. I ordered from America and now owe about £30 import taxes. It is perfect though.

    I don’t know what rock I’ve been living under, but this website is awesome and Rails have a bunch of lovely things…And there was me thinking I’m already sorted for summer. Luckily it’s also my birthday month so hubby is getting the link as we speak 🙂

    How does it fit in the shoulders and chest? I often have an issue with shoulders being too small and buttons that pull apart slightly in the front.

      It’s a nice loose fit, you should be okay. Go up a size if worried, the idea is that it drapes nicely
