Linen Is the Perfect Lightweight Material for Summer — Shop Our 11 Favorite Picks at Amazon From $20

I’ll say it: Widely loved for its breathable fit and effortlessly stylish put-together look, linen is the material of the summer. But did you know that linen is also hypoallergenic and its material has natural antibacterial properties? That’s right, linen strikes the perfect balance between function and fashion, making it versatile enough to wear in nearly every setting — whether you’re at the beach, out for dinner, in the office, or, of course, traveling. 

And unbeknownst to many, Amazon’s fashion section is bursting with travel-friendly linen pieces that are perfect for your next vacation. But with so many options to choose from, it can be a bit daunting even getting started. That’s why I, a linen devotee, sifted through the near-hundreds of styles to present to you the 11 best linen dresses, two-piece outfits, pants, and more at Amazon, with prices starting at just $24. 

Automet Women’s Linen Shorts Set

The first linen garment that should be on your radar is this $30 shorts set that one of our editors at Travel + Leisure praised as being “lightweight, breathable, and comfortable for all-day wear, especially in the summer months when it starts to get unbearably hot and humid.” Complete with a boxy square neck tank and matching pair of elastic shorts, this set is the ultimate one-and-done outfit of the season. 

Anrabess Women's Linen Palazzo Pants

A pair of quality linen pants is a travel wardrobe must-have. You can dress them up or down depending on the shirt, shoe, and accessories all while remaining incredibly cool and comfortable. I’m currently eyeing this Amazon best-selling pair that are designed with a flattering smocked waistband and a roomy wide-leg fit for optimal movability. Even better, there are plenty of options to choose from as they come in 23 total colors including army green and baby blue and come in sizes small through 2XL. 

Kingfen Women’s Linen Drawstring Shorts 

Prime Members, rejoice! These linen-blend drawstring shorts are on exclusive sale for $24 for members (if you’re not already signed up, you can always take advantage of a free 30-day trial to unlock this member-only deal). You’ll definitely want to pay close attention to these shorts as they’re designed with an elastic waistband and flowy shape for a flexible, comfortable fit no matter the temperature. 

Anrabess Linen Lounge Set

My favorite fabric to wear in the summer is linen, and my favorite style of outfit to wear for travel are easy one-and-done two-piece sets. This on-sale linen lounge set combines the best of my two favorite things, making it an excellent choice for warm-weather styling. It’s available in 25 colors, including light brown, deep blue, and purple, and sizes small through 2XL. I’m adding a few colorways to my cart, and suggest you do the same.

Idealsanxun Women’s Linen Blazer

This stylish linen blazer just hit Amazon’s virtual shelves this year and is already loved by shoppers for its lightweight material and versatile nature that makes it easy to transition between “a t-shirt and jeans for a casual look or to wear with slacks for a more businesslike look.” And while traditional linen blazers wrinkle by just looking at it, this one is made with a linen-cotton blend making it a bit more wrinkle-resistant. 

Kirundo Women’s Linen Sundress 

This flirty linen-blend sundress is a must-have summer essential for any occasion, whether you’re lounging on the beach, enjoying a scenic picnic, exploring the city, or savoring weekends in wine country. It features a flattering v-neck, tiered design, and is crafted with a lightweight fabric that will keep you cool and dry. Plus, it's available in a variety of colors including black, light blue, and several other colorways. 

Anrabess Linen Jumpsuit

If you’re looking to overhaul your entire warm-weather wardrobe with linen pieces and need a slightly elevated version that would work well for a fancy beachfront dinner, look no further than this stunning jumpsuit from Anrabess. Beyond its sleek cutout, you can also style this jumpsuit with a tank underneath for extra coverage or with a sweater on over for chilly evenings. Oh, and as an always welcomed bonus, it also features two spacious front pockets that are large enough to hold onto personal belongings like your keys and phone. 

LNX Women’s Linen Pants

What sets these linen pants apart from traditional linen pants is their lightweight linen-cotton fabric blend that not only ensures a comfortable, all-day fit, but also makes them significantly less prone to wrinkles — something that one shopper pointed out is virtually unheard of for the popular style of bottoms. This means that these may just be the ideal, ready-to-wear vacation pants that you can throw on without a second thought (or iron). Beyond their wrinkle-resistant nature, these pants also feature a flattering high-waisted and wide-leg design, complete with an adjustable drawstring waist for versatile wearing.

Yeokou Linen Romper

This romper is the easy, one-and-done outfit that you’re going to want in your wardrobe when the temperatures near triple digits over the next few months. This breathable romper comes with adjustable straps that have garnered high praise as a “great summer cover-up" from shoppers thanks to its adjustable straps and flexible fabric that allows you to move around as you please. It also comes in 11 different colors and is available in sizes ranging from small through 2XL. 

Coofandy Men’s Linen Two-piece Set

Amazon also has plenty of excellent linen pieces for men as well, starting with this easy breezy set from Coofandy that comes with a lightweight shirt and matching flowy pants. On sale for $43, this Amazon best-selling set is comfortable enough to wear everywhere from a beach getaway to a quaint brunch moment. Even better, this set is available in an impressive size range of small through 5XL. 

Coofandy Men’s Linen Shirt 

Amazon reviews dub this top “the summer wardrobe M.V.P.” for its “breezy, breathable touch that keeps you looking and feeling cool as a cucumber.” I don’t know about you, but that sounds like the ideal garment you want in your carry-on this season. And lucky for you, it’s discounted to $30 this weekend and is available in 27 different colorways if you want to overhaul your entire closet with this stylish shirt.
