I don’t need to tell most of you this, but it’s HOT outside. When I stepped outside to take a couple of photos this morning, it was like I’d snuggled up into Satan’s sweaty armpit. There were sweat pools under my eyes, a sweatstache, and a silent prayer that I remembered to put deodorant on.

This is why I’m leaning hard on linen clothes these days. The number of 100{72d5e173e8c4d1d11371a54c0a67292f0b609b39497fc3de2ad0439cff8da78f} polyester items in my wardrobe is appalling but also predictable since plus-size clothing is often fast-fashion and made with inexpensive materials. I love the linen at Universal Standard because it has a hint of stretch and doesn’t wrinkle quite as much as 100{72d5e173e8c4d1d11371a54c0a67292f0b609b39497fc3de2ad0439cff8da78f} linen does. It also comes in a size inclusive range of 00-40. You can take an extra discount off at US with code INFS-AMBAUTHEMMIE.

Islet Button Down Linen Maxi Dress, sizes 00-40, 5 colors
Wearing 2XL. Runs slightly large in my opinion

I am in love with everything about this dress. The pretty (and functional) buttons, wide straps that work with a regular bra, and a breezy cut that skims the body make this an essential. I’m considering ordering it in one of the other 5 colors because it’s so comfy. If you want a little more shape, you could add a belt.

Tropez Tied Linen Crop Top, sizes 00-40, 6 colors
Wearing size 2XL
Old Ava & Viv from Target linen pants. Similar.

I have several pairs of wide-leg linen pants in my closet and love wearing them, but I always struggle with what top to pair them with. The coordinating sets are usually paired with boxier, oversized tops, while I prefer something that gives a little more shape. T-shirts often work, but they can also read casual. This linen top intrigued me, but I worried it would be too cropped. It ended up being perfect given how high I wear my pants. I love the saturated color and it’s super comfy while still giving some shape and interest.

Cabana Linen Caftan, sizes 00-40, 5 colors
Wearing the 2XL

I shared this caftan last month, but I wanted to show it again because it’s in super high rotation right now – it was the first thing I packed when we went to the Jersey shore last week. It gets washed weekly and gets softer each time.
