Linen tops the trend reports every spring and summer, and for good reason. Made from the fibre of the flax plant, linen is lightweight, breathable, and naturally moisture-wicking. Plus, it also happens to be impossibly chic.
With the goal of finding stylish linen pieces from Canadian brands, I rounded up a selection of wardrobe staples that will work in your outfit rotation all season long. From an effortless blazer to the perfect daywear dress, here are five linen fashion finds from homegrown brands.
The Sleep Shirt Dropped Shoulder Tunic
When you hear the term “throw-on garment,” something sloppy or unstylish might come to mind. This dress from the Vancouver-made brand The Sleep Shirt proves that one does not necessarily mean the other. Made in Canada using an airy linen material, the simple tunic style features front pockets and an open-collar design. It’s the dress that can easily take you from the market to the beach. Talk about a summer staple. $355 at Intothebedroom.com.
Boheme Ruffle Top
A romantic top that’s made to order, this sweet style from the Vancouver-based brand Boheme is available in black, white, oat, and brown linen. Boasting ruffle and gathered detailing, the locally manufactured garment comes with a matching ribbon so you can cinch the style at the waist — or wear the ribbon as a matching necklace. The top is joined by a curated selection of other linen pieces from the brand. $200 at Bohemgoods.com.
Aritzia Standout Linen Blazer
As linen can sometimes feel unstructured — that’s both the best and the worst part about the textile — it’s nice to see the material used in a more tailored style like this Baboon Standout Linen Blazer. The Vancouver-designed topper features a single-button style for a crisp, clean look and linen material that’s sourced from an Italian mill. Bellissima! $248 at Aritzia.
Monos Algarve Shorts
A long short is a must-try style this season. This gender-neutral style, from the Vancouver-based brand Monos, features a straight fit and easy, elasticated waist for a no-fuss effect. The lightweight linen bottoms are available in a selection of four shades, including black, white, beige, and olive green. If you’re unsure of how to style a longer-length short, we suggest pairing it with the ultimate summer shoe of 2026: the kitten-heel thong sandal. $120 at Monos.
Kotn Sila Linen Cargo Pant
While these are technically a men’s pant, we prefer to lean into the idea of these trousers as a unisex style. Made from a 100 per cent linen material and made in Portugal, the design sees added style (and functionality) afforded by side cargo pockets. We love the idea of pairing these relaxed-fit cargo pants with a sleek tank top and a bold necklace for a day-to-night ensemble that’s carefree yet irresistibly chic. $158 at Kotn.
