A cute tee is a versatile piece of clothing anywhere, anytime, but if you’re traveling to a hot destination or want more ventilation, linen fabric is the way to go. Check out these TFG faves for the best linen t shirt women’s styles!

Linen T Shirt for Women

A basic tee is a staple in anyone’s wardrobe and while different fabrics have different effects in certain climates, hands-down, linen is best for its cooling and airy effects. It doesn’t retain moisture and actually absorbs it away from your body, much like merino wool.

So, if you plan on traveling somewhere a bit toasty or simply want to wear something more refreshing than cotton, consider a linen t-shirt.
