This $35 Lightweight Linen Shirt Is Perfect for Summer Travel

It's no secret that linen is a go-to material for summer, since it's lightweight, quick-drying, and comfortable to wear in warm (and even hot) temperatures. Now that we're in the thick of the warm weather months, you've probably got a few wardrobe essentials that you reach for when temperatures rise. But if you're still on the hunt for comfortable and stylish summer basics, you'll want to check out this sleek and surprisingly affordable linen top from Quince. The brand is known for its sustainably made and well-priced basics, including a collection of linen pieces that are perfect for summer travel.

The Quince 100 Percent European Linen Short Sleeve Shirt has a button-down style with a boxy fit and notched collar. Given its slightly oversized cut, the shirt will remain breathable in the heat and move with you, whether you're boarding a flight, sightseeing, or heading out to dinner. Since it's made from eco-friendly, European flax, you can rest assured that the fabric will feel soft on your skin and wick away sweat and moisture (a great choice for long travel days). It's easy to pair with a variety of clothing items, including jeans, shorts, and skirts — you could even wear it unbuttoned and layer it over top of tanks and dresses. And the cherry on top of its convenience is that the shirt is machine washable and you can easily shake out wrinkles or make them disappear with a portable wrinkle-release spray.

The top comes in six colors, including basics like black and white, as well as slightly bolder options like light blue and terracotta. It's available in sizes XS to XL, and a size chart from the brand with measurements will help you find the right fit.
