The best one for summer nights on the town, Orlebar Brown's Giles linen shirt is the perfect blend of smart casual with its single-buttoned barrel cuffs. Pair with dark navy or beige chinos to complete the look.

$189 from Selfridges

The ultimate in barely-there clothing that will be a nice reprieve from any heavy-duty t-shirts you accidentally packed. Super lightweight and made of 100% linen, this linen T makes holiday style seem easy.

This is a great option for summer socials, be it yacht shows or beach parties. It's smart-casual with a nautical touch.
