Summer Clothing for Men

Linen for warm days

Why linen is the best summer fabric

Linen is made from the flax plant. The fibre lets air through, so it feels cool against the skin and dries quickly. It also absorbs moisture without feeling damp. That makes linen the most comfortable choice for hot days, holidays and summer evenings.

Blankdays linen comes from Somelos

All linen in this collection comes from Somelos, one of Portugal's most respected linen producers. The fabric is treated to stay soft and to minimise shrinkage, wash after wash. The long-sleeve linen shirt uses a slightly heavier linen, so it also works outside high summer.

The summer collection

  • Linen shirts, long sleeve: THE LINEN SHIRT in white, black, navy and army olive. Straight, regular fit, button-down collar and a chest pocket. See all linen shirts.
  • Linen shirts, short sleeve: SHORT SLEEVE LINEN SHIRT in white, black and army olive. A looser fit for the hottest days.
  • Linen trousers: THE LINEN TROUSER in white, black and army olive. Relaxed fit, wide straight legs and an elastic waist. See all linen trousers.
  • Linen shorts: THE LINEN SHORTS in white, black and army olive. Straight legs and an elastic waist. See all linen shorts.

Three summer outfits

  1. Holiday: short sleeve linen shirt in white with linen shorts in army olive.
  2. Dinner or wedding: long-sleeve linen shirt in navy with linen trousers in white.
  3. All black: linen shirt and linen trousers in black for a sharp, minimal evening look.

Add a t-shirt and a cap and you are set for the season.

Wrinkles are part of linen

Linen creases. That is part of its character, and most people see it as a sign of real linen. If you want a neater look, hang the garment up while it is still damp, or steam it lightly. Read more about caring for linen, see the whole linen collection or our white clothing.

About Blankdays

Blankdays is a Swedish menswear label founded in 2018 by Johan Lundell, built on fewer, better basics. The summer range follows the same idea as the rest of the label: a small number of pieces in a few colours that all combine. Every linen garment is made from Somelos linen from Portugal and designed in Sweden for long Scandinavian summers and warm holidays alike.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best fabric for summer clothing?

Linen. It breathes, absorbs moisture and dries quickly, which keeps you cooler than cotton or synthetic fabrics on hot days.

Does linen shrink?

Untreated linen can shrink. Blankdays linen is treated to minimise shrinkage. Wash at a low temperature and air dry.

How do I wash linen clothes?

Wash at 30–40°C on a gentle cycle and hang to dry. Avoid the tumble dryer. Iron or steam while slightly damp if you want fewer creases.

Can I wear linen to a wedding?

Yes. A long-sleeve linen shirt with linen trousers is a classic choice for summer weddings, especially outdoors.

Do linen shirts come in short sleeves?

Yes. The SHORT SLEEVE LINEN SHIRT comes in white, black and army olive, with a slightly looser fit.

How should linen trousers fit?

Blankdays linen trousers have a relaxed fit with wide, straight legs and an elastic waist. They should feel loose enough for air to move.

Can I wear linen outside summer?

The long-sleeve linen shirt is made in a slightly heavier linen for year-round use. Layer it under a sweatshirt in autumn.

What colours are best for summer?

White and light colours reflect heat. Army olive and navy are good alternatives that show less dirt. Black linen also works well for evenings.

Is linen better than cotton in summer?

Yes, for heat. Linen breathes better, absorbs more moisture and dries faster than cotton.

What should I pack for a summer holiday?

Two linen shirts, one pair of linen trousers, one or two pairs of linen shorts and a few t-shirts. Everything combines, so you can pack light.
