I'm 36, and This Is the Trend I'm Buying From Marks and Spencer, Arket and Zara
In my experience, linen is one of those fabrics that gets a bad rap. My theory is that there are a lot of people who hate ironing (I mean, fair enough), and as a result, don't understand just how chic it can be. Other than its propensity to crease easily, I also think it's often associated with a kind of old-fashioned or dated hippie style, so people fear it might age them. I can see why: Flowing, shapeless outfits hardly make you feel streamlined and polished. But the latest linen trend I've spotted on the high street couldn't be further from that.

@brittanybathgateRight now, there are three stores leading the way when it comes to linen: Zara, Arket and Marks & Spencer. The good news is that each one has its own style. If you're looking for summer-ready items that won't look out of place on a night out or on the beach, then Zara is where to go. But if you're after tailored items and co-ords then it's Arket you want to go to (the purple matching set is on my list). As for M&S, this is where you want to go for dresses and basics. So keep scrolling for the best linen pieces you'll find this summer.
