I Tried on Reformation's Best Linen Dresses, Trousers and Shirts—These Pieces Were Elite

At this point in the summer months, we've already tested out our pre-planned outfits, and if you're anything like me, you'll have found that a selection of pieces feature more than most. For me, it's anything with linen. Be it a great shirt, a floaty dress or a heat-defying skirt, linen is the clear hero of my summer wardrobe. My collection of linen pieces is one that I've been slowly curating over the years, and with a current interest in investing in high-quality pieces, I'm turning to one store to fill the missing gaps: Reformation.

Since last summer, I've tried on a host of excellent linen buys from the high street to high-end buys, and whilst there are standout pieces to be found at every price point, in my opinion, Reformation is the sweet spot. With a mid-range price point, focus on quality fabrics and the brand's innate ability to coast between the classics and contemporary styles, Reformation has one of the best linen selections around.

You may have already seen me put the brand's linen to the test. Last year, it was the Olina trousers that held my attention, with a classic straight cut and easy drawstring style. A few months ago, I also introduced the comfortable Fernando style to my wardrobe, a more dramatic wide leg with an easy pull-on elastic waistband. But it isn't just linen trousers that Reformation excels in. The Balia linen dress remains one of the most flattering styles I've ever tried on, and I'm an editor who tests a lot of products. Alongside, there are staple shorts, standout co-ords and of course floaty skirts to consider too.

Whilst I consider an afternoon spent scrolling through the Reformation website a pleasant pastime, I understand that it may not be for everyone. To save you time and with added tried-and-tested insights, I've curated an edit of the best Reformation linen buys below.

Keep scrolling to shop the best Reformation linen buys, from pretty tops to versatile trousers.
