August calls for clothes that feel light and easy to wear in the heat. This guide covers five linen pieces from Old Linen Mill's Summer 2026 collection, chosen for warm-weather comfort and everyday practicality.
Each piece is made from European linen and handmade in Lithuania. Below, you'll find what makes each one work for August, plus simple styling ideas to combine them.
1. FLORA Linen Maxi Bow Dress
FLORA is a long, loose linen dress built for warm days that still call for a finished look. It's made from organic 100% European linen and holds OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification.
Key details:
- Adjustable bow at the back for a personalized fit
- Side pockets for everyday practicality
- Available in natural flax, ivory, sage green, ocean blue, navy and black
FLORA works for seaside dinners, summer parties and quiet afternoons alike. Pair it with flat sandals and a woven bag by day, then switch to jewelry and dressier shoes for evening.
2. CHARLOTTE Glamorous Linen Blouse
CHARLOTTE is a linen blouse for days when a plain top feels too simple. It's made from soft, washed linen at 98 gsm, a lightweight weave suited to summer heat.
Key details:
- Billowy bishop sleeves and dropped shoulders
- Long front tie ribbon and wide, relaxed shape
- One-size style with two back-length options
- Featured in Old Linen Mill's Summer 2026 lookbook
Wear CHARLOTTE loose or tucked into high-waisted trousers or a skirt. For a monochrome look, pair it with linen trousers in a matching shade.
3. Breezy Light Linen Summer Top
This oversized, short-sleeved top is built for grabbing without much thought. It's made from lightweight 100 gsm European linen with side slits that add movement.
Key details:

- Side slits for ease of movement
- Colours: light blue, light green, light peach, light brown, light black, light white
Wear it over shorts on holiday, with linen trousers for a relaxed daytime outfit, or partly tucked into a skirt for more shape.
4. Linen Trousers with Side Slits
These trousers combine a wide, flowing leg with an accentuated waistline. They're made from soft-washed, medium-weight 185 gsm 100% European linen.
Key details:

Pair them with the Breezy Light Linen Summer Top for an easy daytime look, or with CHARLOTTE for something more dramatic. Natural flax offers the most versatility.
5. Wrap Knee Length Linen Skirt
This wrap skirt sits around the knee at roughly 60 cm in length. It's made from soft-washed, medium-weight 185 gsm European linen, with a wrap construction that adjusts to fit.

Style it with the Breezy Light Linen Summer Top for a tonal look, or with CHARLOTTE when you want a bolder outfit for dinner or an evening out.
How to Build an August Linen Wardrobe
