I like the relaxed look of linen shirts, especially when paired with chinos, jeans or tailored shorts. They also seem versatile enough to wear for casual outings as well as slightly smarter occasions.

One thing I’m wondering about is the wrinkling. I know natural linen tends to crease easily, but I actually think the slightly relaxed, textured appearance suits a summer outfit.

For those who regularly wear linen shirts, what should I look for when buying one? Is a 100% linen shirt better, or would a linen-cotton blend be more practical for everyday wear?
