Linen Love: The Kids’ Summer Style Guide
Sun-soaked days, beachside walks and upcoming vacations…as the new season is approaching, it’s time to curate your kid’s summer wardrobe. Say hello to linen, a featherweight fabric that makes summer styling effortlessly easy.
It’s no wonder that kid’s linen fashion is making waves. Natural, breathable and enduring, it’s any parent’s dream for life’s sunny moments. Moreover, its eco-friendly virtue is something we love as much as a cloudless sky in July. If you’ve been after new warm-weather staples, let us help find your favourite summer outfit for kids.
Why You’ll Love Linen for Kids’ Summer Style
Linen feels like a gentle breeze on balmy days. Its superpower? It’s airy, cooling, and comfortable – a fabric your little one will adore wearing anywhere from the playground to important occasions.
Did you know that linen is also anti-bacterial? As a gentle, non-irritating fibre that doesn’t hold moisture, linen is perfect for sensitive skin. Plus, as it naturally moves and never feels heavy, kids fashion linen is ready for every tree climb, every game and outside exploration.
Last, but certainly not least, it is one of the most sustainable fabrics on the planet. Linen is not only consciously made and long-lasting, it’s biodegradable as well. This means that unlike synthetic textiles, it will seamlessly become one with nature once it has served its purpose. Luckily, you won’t have to worry about saying goodbye to your kid’s linen clothes anytime soon. Extremely durable, linen designs can be passed down generations once your child has outgrown them, making it a smart and sustainable investment.

Care Tips for Linen Clothing
Linen can last through countless summers with the right care. Check out Chi Linen's wash care guide for tips on keeping your linen pieces looking their best.
Linen's longevity is all about how you treat it. Here are a few care tips to keep in mind:
- Always wash linen clothes with similar, soft fabrics and avoid anything abrasive in the load that could cause pilling or damage.
- Stick to using gentle detergent and either go for a gentle wash cycle or hand wash. This helps keep the fabric smooth.
- Bleach is not great for linen and can weaken the fibres over time. If you have a stain, gently treat it with a fabric-friendly stain remover.
- When drying, air-drying gives linen a softer feel, while line-drying keeps it crisp.
- Ironing is often optional due to linen's natural and relaxed wrinkles. But if you prefer a crisper look, iron while the fabric is still slightly damp.

This summer, linen's all about colours that will enliven infant summer outfits. The Chi Linen rainbow has 33 shades, ranging from calming neutrals and watercolour pastels to lively, bright shades. If you can’t pick just one, why not opt for the same silhouette in different hues?
