Humans have been wearing linen for thousands of years. Our ancestors definitely knew what they were doing. Today, linen is widely appreciated as an excellent fabric due to its unique combination of durability, breathability, and environmental friendliness. Japanese brand MUJI understood the assignment and has given us a wide range of linen items that truly make our lives better.
Known for its strong fibers, which surpass those of cotton in length and strength, linen boasts remarkable durability, allowing items made from it to endure for decades while becoming softer and more pleasant to the touch over time. This natural fiber is exceptionally breathable, ensuring comfort in hot weather by allowing air to flow freely and moisture to evaporate quickly. Moreover, linen’s ability to absorb moisture without feeling damp to the touch contributes to its reputation as a luxurious yet practical choice for clothing and bedding. Its natural resistance to bacteria and moths further enhances its appeal for use in the composition of various textiles. Additionally, linen is environmentally friendly; it is made from the flax plant, which requires less water and pesticides than cotton, making it a sustainable choice for those looking to minimize their ecological footprint. These qualities collectively make linen a highly sought-after material for those seeking comfort, durability, and an eco-conscious option in their textiles.
Most MUJI linen products, clothing as well as household goods, have been manufactured with 100% pure linen. One can feel the pureness of linen against their skin and the linen clothes are perfect for everyone.
Women can choose from a variety of shirt, dress and pant options. We think that every modern woman needs to have at least a couple of linen shirts. They’re lightweight and airy for the summer and are perfect layering pieces for the winter. While we love classic button-down shirts, right now, we’re loving the Washed Linen Stand Collar 3/4 Sleeve Blouse. It’s available in black and white, but we think the thin pinstripe version in red can be a fun addition to any wardrobe.
Men will also love the options at MUJI. Linen shirts in the summer always make us think of summer vacations in Europe. They can be worn to the office or the beach, making them a super versatile option all year round. The linen jackets though are an instant win for any man. Chic, classic and style in one garment can make it simple to look stylish. Both men and women will find linen pants in a selection of neutral colors that can be easily introduced to any closet. These durable pants are easy to style and wear.
