Summer is rolling around quicker than ever, and lately we have been teased by warmer temperatures signaling the upcoming season. A hero fabric for this time of year is linen. Its woven structure makes it highly breathable, allowing air to circulate and regulate body temperature. Linen also wicks moisture, absorbing up to 20 percent of its weight without feeling damp, making it ideal for summer clothing and bedding. While durable and eco-friendly, linen tends to crease easily. That is why many items now feature a linen blend, combining breathability with cotton or polyester to reduce wrinkles.
