The smarter way to wear linen

Now we’re entering the summer months, you’ve probably found that your wardrobe has naturally been in a state of transition. Well, whether you’ve planned a four-day stint on the Amalfi Coast, soaking up the Positano sun, a trip to one of the Greek islands for week-long relaxation, or a quick city break in Madrid, you’ll want to be prepared for the cause. You’ll need clothing that is airy, lightweight, and created primarily for warmer climes. Typically this means buying products cut from linen, which have traditionally been made from flax to be the building blocks for the go-to wardrobes of guys holidaying in warmer countries.

Enter LESTRANGE, the British brand with a conscience for making clothes that befit a man without much hassle, that has had recent investment from Formula One champ Jenson Button. Your answer to the hassle that comes with packing for a warmer climate than the one you reside in, LESTRANGE’s Linen Wardrobe has been designed with ease, comfort and adaptability in mind. The linen drop comprises the Easy Trouser, 24 Trouser, 24 Blazer, All Day Shirt (in collarless and collared iterations), Riviera Stripe Shirt, 12 Shorts, Double-Breasted Blazer and Linen Tee, all of which have been designed in a modular fashion to be mixed, matched and worn in the summer sun.

Each of the products in LESTRANGE’s Linen Wardrobe are built on those separates that you’d wear throughout the year: a suit destined for the finest restaurants, but built for the climates of the coastal Sicilian destination Taormina, for instance, or a simple tee that can take you from brunch to beach and then dinner. But these aren’t just your standard linen separates that you can pretty much get anywhere. As men become more concerned about the way in which their clothes are made, as well as the need for easy-to-throw-on gear, LESTRANGE has been working to build pieces that are beneficial to your lifestyle. Each product has been expertly-crafted to be some of the best linen clothing you can get right now. LESTRANGE’s linen has been blended with 100 per cent certified organic cotton, which not only allows for the unrivalled breathability of traditional linen, but it also comes without the stiff and papery feel of the stuff you’ll find in most shops.

What’s great about LESTRANGE’s Linen Wardrobe, is that, alongside the fact that it won’t leave you with sweaty back or patchy underarms, it’s increased crease-resistance. An additional bonus of cutting clothing from a recycled cotton linen blend, is that it doesn’t crease as easily - traditional linen is notorious for creasing. With LESTRANGE’s collection, not only can you wear one of the blazers all day and then into the evening with ease, but you can guarantee that you won’t be met with a selection of crinkled clothes post-packing and flight. Take LESTRANGE’s linen Double-Breasted Blazer, for example, which is more crease-free than your average garment, thanks to its organic cotton and linen blend construction.
