Made of 100 per cent, quality French linen, Uniqlo’s latest line of garments are sure to take some of the heat out of your summer dressing.
Although we commonly think of cotton as being best for wearing in hot weather, linen actually has better absorption and evaporation than that uubiquitous fabric and it’s softer to boot.
Linen also looks more elegant, and thanks to Uniqlo’s special finish you don’t even have to worry about the bane of linen, its creaseability.
The Uniqlo linen range offers pieces for men and women; the womenswear includes everything from long-line jackets and cardigans, to a smart shirtdress (pictured left), a great knit (pictured right) and casual pants.
You can also raid the menswear range for a cute madras check short sleeve shirt and cool linen army cap (pictured left).
