If there’s one material every summer suitcase should include, it’s linen. Lightweight, breathable, and effortlessly polished, linen clothing is ideal for everything from long travel days to warm evenings by the water. And right now, mid-season sales from Madewell, J.Crew, Amazon, and more are offering up to 77 percent off on styles worth packing.
As someone heading to Europe twice this summer, I’m gravitating toward pieces that won’t cling, take up space, or require much styling. Linen does it all. I rounded up the best deals on easy, versatile staples—from linen pants and breezy dresses to relaxed tops and maxi skirts—you’ll want to wear on repeat, whether you’re strolling through a city or lounging by the coast. Prices start at just $11.
