Linen Dresses for Women

Are linen dresses still fashionable?

They have been for decades. Linen dresses are among the most timeless summer pieces, and their natural texture, relaxed drape and comfortable wear explain why. Tom Tailor offers linen dresses for women in a range of cuts and lengths, from an airy midi dress to a casual shirt dress. The linen used carries European Flax™ certification, complemented by LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose for a softer drape.

What do you wear with a linen dress?

• Sandals: the most natural choice, complementing the relaxed feel of linen
• Trainers: for a casual, contemporary look
• Loafers or mules: for a slightly more polished touch
• Ankle boots: in autumn or for a contrasting style mix

A straw hat, a linen bag or simple gold jewellery work well as accessories to complete the natural look.

What are the benefits of linen clothing?

• Breathability: linen allows air to circulate freely, helping keep the body cool
• Moisture wicking: the fabric absorbs and releases perspiration for a comfortable feel
• Natural origin: Tom Tailor's European Flax™ certified linen is grown in Europe
• Durability: linen softens with each wash and lasts well with proper care
• Natural appearance: the characteristic texture and light drape give dresses a relaxed elegance

How do I keep my linen dress from creasing?

Linen creases naturally, and many people consider it part of the fabric's character. For those who prefer fewer wrinkles:

• Shake the dress gently immediately after washing and hang to dry
• Iron while slightly damp on a medium linen setting for best results
• Store on a hanger rather than folded to minimise storage creases
• Body heat during wear naturally relaxes some creases on its own

Tom Tailor linen dresses contain LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose, which makes the fabric more fluid and reduces creasing somewhat. Discover more linen looks for women in our themed edit.
