Linen tops for women, made to wear on hot days and soften with every wash. Most are cut from 100% European Flax® certified linen, and a few use cotton-linen blends for a softer drape. They come in white, black, beige, brown, olive green and ivory, so they're easy to match with the palazzo and linen pants, shorts and skirts you already wear. Choose pure linen or cotton linen tops, whichever drape you prefer.

FAQ
Are linen tops good for summer?
Yes. Linen is light and lets air move through the weave, so it stays cooler than most fabrics on hot days. Open-back and sleeveless shapes like the cross back tank add even more airflow.
What is the difference between 100% linen and cotton-linen tops?
100% European Flax® linen has a crisper texture and the most natural structure. Cotton-linen blends feel a little softer from the first wear and drape more loosely. Each product page lists the exact fabric.
Do linen tops wrinkle?
Linen creases naturally, and the soft, lived-in look is part of its character. To smooth it, hang the top while it's still slightly damp or steam it lightly. Blends tend to crease a little less than 100% linen.
Are white linen tops see-through?
Light colours show more than dark ones in bright sun. The Square Neck Tie Back Crop Top is lined. For unlined white tops, a nude bralette or camisole underneath works well.
How do I wash a linen top?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colours, then hang or lay flat to dry. Avoid high heat in the dryer. Linen gets softer with every wash.
What tops to wear with linen pants?
A cropped linen top or a tank tucked into high-waisted linen pants keeps the outfit light and balanced. For a matching look, pair a linen tank with pants in the same tone. You can also find tops to layer over linen dresses, like the wrap vest.
