How to Care for Your Linen Clothes the Right Way

Timeless Linen: How to Care for Your Linen Clothing

Linen is the fabric of choice for those who value timeless elegance and natural comfort. Known for its luxurious feel and exceptional durability, it’s a staple in every well-curated wardrobe. But to ensure your linen clothing remains as fresh and beautiful as the day you got it, proper care is key.

Whether you own the effortlessly stylish Celeste Linen Shirt, the laid-back Roma Linen Pants, or the sharp Capri Linen Pants, here’s how to care for your linen pieces the right way.

Understanding Linen’s Unique Qualities

Linen is made from the fibers of the flax plant, giving it a beautiful natural texture and a robust quality that improves with every wash. It’s breathable, moisture-wicking, and perfect for warm climates — which is why our 100% linen pieces like the Tuscany Linen Shirt and Berlin Linen Trousers are customer favorites year after year.

Washing Linen: Best Practices

When it comes to washing linen, always think gentle. Wash in cold or lukewarm water to prevent shrinkage and preserve the fibers. Use the delicate cycle and avoid overloading your machine — this lets garments like the Austin Short Sleeve Shirt move freely. For handwashing, swirl gently and avoid scrubbing or twisting the fabric. A mild detergent designed for delicate fabrics will help keep your linen staples looking new.

Drying Linen: Techniques for Longevity

Air drying is your best bet. Lay flat on a clean towel or hang on a drying rack away from direct sunlight. If using a dryer, select low heat and remove while garments are still slightly damp — this helps retain softness and shape. We recommend air drying pieces like the Celeste Linen Shirt or Capri Pants for the best results.

Ironing Linen: Achieving a Smooth Finish

Linen’s signature creases are part of its relaxed charm — but for a polished look, iron while damp or lightly mist the fabric. Use a medium-hot iron and press inside-out on colored pieces to protect the finish. This works great for items like the Porto Striped Linen Shirt, giving them a refined, crisp look.

Storing Linen: Preserve Shape and Freshness

Store linen in a cool, dry place. Use breathable cotton garment bags. Fold neatly or hang on padded hangers. Avoid plastic covers — they trap moisture and can cause mildew. Keep your go-to summer pieces like the Roma Linen Pants in top shape with these tips.

Preventing Yellowing: Keep Linen Bright

To maintain that fresh linen look, avoid bleach. Dry in the shade and store away from direct sunlight and humid spaces. A mild, linen-friendly detergent and the right storage setup go a long way in keeping garments like the Tuscany Linen Shirt crisp and bright.

Stain Removal: Act Fast

For best results, blot stains gently and spot-clean with mild detergent. Avoid rubbing the fabric, as this can spread the stain. Wash the garment soon after spotting a mark to prevent it from setting in. This is especially important for lighter pieces like the Celeste Linen Shirt.

Care Summary: Let Your Linen Age Gracefully

Wash cold. Air dry when possible. Embrace the natural creases or iron for a clean finish. Store properly. With the right care, your linen pieces — like our best-selling Capri Pants or Porto Shirt — only get better with time.
