Mr Turner Road Tests Our Top 5 Linen Shirts

Exclusively available here. 

THE ICONIC recently challenged me to style AERE’s top 5 linen shirts for my everyday occasions. 

A linen shirt is my favourite summer go-to and with Sydney heating up – Bondi is my hometown – there was no hesitation in accepting.

Here are AERE’s top 5 linen shirts, road-tested by yours truly. 

1. RUST: LUNCH EVENT

1. RUST: LUNCH EVENT

Relaxed, yet still stylish is my M.O. when dressing for an event. AERE’s linen shirt in Rust was perfect with my orange wallet-bag. Both colours added an abundance of warmth to brighten the neutral suit. Although a suit can get quite hot in summer, the linen shirt is the airflow I need to stay cool.

Something comfortable is needed so your focus is on the work you have to do. I love using colour-on-colour so AERE’s Navy linen shirt was perfect to match with some 90s-fit blue jeans. Pair it back with a backpack, a sweater to brave the air conditioning, and I’m ready to work!

The colour to reflect the heat! AERE’s white linen shirt keeps me cool in the blazing heat of the season, making it the perfect top to wear to the beach. It also looks great with any type of shorts or pants – including boardshorts.

Another example of my love for colour-on-colour with AERE’s pink linen shirt. I like wearing something fun to hang out with my nearest and dearest, so playing with colour or materials is a way I express my excitement.

5. SAND: DINNER

Something effortless, cooling, but still smart? A high-waisted but wide leg pant with AERE’s linen shirt in Sand. It’s simple, neat, and says that you know what you’re doing. I chose to add a leather pouch to polish it off.

Not only do these shirts look good, but they are better for our planet. AERE is part of THE ICONIC’s Considered range. Linen is a more sustainable fabric, made using less water & chemicals than conventional materials."  

There we have it! 5 shirts, 5 occasions. All of which I hope will provide you with ample styling advice for your linen purchases in the future.
