It’s time to retire to the seaside and embrace your inner “Coastal Grandmother” or just relax in the sun knowing your clothes with breathe in the summer’s heat.

This fabric trend isn’t new, as linen and laid-back vibes are synonymous with spring and summer, and have been around for decades.

While “Coastal Grandmother” was the trend of summer 2022, it really hasn’t gone anywhere, so no need to clean out your closet just yet.

In fact, as explained in the TikTok below, “Coastal Grandmother” really applies to any age and for any season, so long as you love the calming vibes of celebrities like Ina Garten and Nancy Meyers movies.

Linen shirts are really the star of the show for spring and summer dressing, but you should also pick up a pair or two of matching linen pants and shorts for a breezy pairing, or an easy staple to pack for summer travels.

In honor of the warm weather and the continued fashion trend, shop the best linen shirts for both men and women, using the links below to jump to your preferred section.
