Certain fabrics are synonymous with different seasons. Yes, linen is it for spring and summer. Linen is not only practical with the breezy nature, but it's also chic and elevated. Susie Wright—the iconic former Nordstrom buyer and mastermind behind So Susie—is one style-setter who is leaning on linen this spring and summer to create her most fashionable looks.
Below, you'll learn about the seven linen silhouettes Wright is reaching for and will continue to wear over the next few months, including a key dress style and must-have linen pants. Keep scrolling for more, including visual inspiration from Wright and a range of shopping recommendations.
1. Loose Linen Pants
On Wright: J.Crew pants
"Think of this as your go-to everyday summer outfit. Find a slim-fitting tank, and add a loose overshirt—talk about comfortable! I often wear this as a travel outfit for long flights, but it's also ideal for breezing around town or meeting up with friends." — Wright
2. Linen Blazer
On Wright: J.Crew blazer
"If you want to look a little more polished, reach for a classic linen blazer. It's a summer wardrobe staple at this point. Wear with trousers, over dresses, or with a skirt. It's a super-versatile piece to own!" — Wright
3. Linen Vest and Matching Pants
On Wright: J.Crew vest and pants
"I can't think of a more versatile combo than a matching vest and trousers. It's such a chic look when you pair them together! Of course, you can wear the vest alone with longer midi-style skirts or loose, wide-leg jeans." — Wright
4. Linen Dress
On Wright: Quince dress
"If you opt for a classic midi-style linen dress like this one, your styling options are endless. Try tying a linen shirt over your shoulders or throwing on a denim jacket. For extra warmth, grab a lightweight cashmere sweater." — Wright
5. Linen Skirt
On Wright: Aritzia skirt
"It's the year of the skirt! A loose linen skirt is perfect for vacation and warm-weather days. Look for longer midi styles in either a fun print or a basic color that will go with everything." — Wright
6. Linen Set
On Wright: Staud set
"How pretty is this pink set? Anything with a scallop detail catches my eye. It adds a touch of femininity. This outfit is perfect for a summer lunch or happy hour." — Wright
7. Linen Vacation Dress
On Wright: Alemais dress
"Bright, happy prints are everywhere right now, understandably. They lift our mood and make us feel happy! If you look at brands like Farm Rio, Alemais, and Rails, you're bound to find a couple of vacation dresses you can take on your next trip!" — Wright
