Sure, you want your warm-weather wardrobe to be fashionable, but it also needs to keep you cool. That’s one of the reasons flip flops are such a vacation staple. So, whatever you put on your body, it can’t be made from materials that feel hot and suffocating. That’s where linen comes in — the go-to summer fabric is breathable and looks elegantly chic. Linen is made from the flax plant, making it a completely natural material known for its durability and lightweight properties.

The material is so popular that J.Crew has an entire section of its site dedicated to it, and right now several pieces in the brand’s Linen Shop are on sale. To help you shop, I combed through the 155 items in J.Crew’s Linen Shop to find the very best deals. Check them out below.

What to shop for during J.Crew’s Linen Sale

Relaxed Barrel Leg Pants

Barrel leg jeans are having a moment, and now you can pick them up in a linen blend for summer. This pair has a roomier leg that tapers slightly at the ankle. They are made from a linen and lyocell blend and feature a button closure and belt loops. They’re available in sizes 00 to 24 and come in three colors — black, hazy hydrangea and natural.

Cabana Top

A great staple for work, this long-sleeve top is made from 100% linen. It has a V-neckline and is gathered at the collar and sleeves. The top comes in five colors — including neutrals like black and brighter shades like red — and is available in sizes up to 3X.

Utility Shirt Dress

Throw on sneakers and wear this dress for weekend errands or pair it with heels for a dressier look. It has short sleeves that hit just above the elbow and two patch pockets for a military-inspired vibe. It also has a removable slip lining and comes in regular and petite sizing.

3” Harbor Short

This short is a popular style for J.Crew and they make it in a variety of materials and patterns — including this red and white striped linen version. The waistband has belt loops and a flat front, but in the back, it has a bit of elastic for a comfortable fit. The shorts have a 3-inch inseam and have sleek slit pockets. They are available in sizes XXS through 3X.

Sailor Square Neck Top

This breezy top has a loose fit to keep you cool and features stitch detailing around the neck for visual interest. It’s made from 100% linen and the hem hits right at the waist. The square-neck top is available in four different shades — white, French blue, summer moss and red arroyo.
