9 Linen Shirt Colours & How to Wear Them

2 min read

Start with white and navy for versatility, then add character with camel, seafoam, or blush. Here's how to wear all nine Pavão shades — and which to reach for first.

The essentials

  • Chalk White — the clean slate. Sharp under a blazer, easy with denim. Buy first. → White edit
  • Deep Navy — authority without black; pairs with everything. Buy second. → Navy edit
  • Warm Ivory — white with the edge taken off; warmer in daylight. → Ivory edit

The easy colours

  • Sky Blue — daytime-friendly, office to weekend. → Sky Blue edit
  • Sand Beige — warm neutral that flatters most skin tones. → Sand edit
  • Camel Brown — richer and more outdoorsy; great with off-white trousers. → Camel edit

The statements

  • Seafoam / Mint Green — cool and coastal; perfect for resort and summer events. → Mint edit
  • Jet Black — restraint as a statement; striking in washed linen. → Black edit
  • Blush Pink — confidence in a softer key; modern and quietly bold. → Blush edit

A simple rule

Neutrals (white, ivory, navy, sand) are your foundation — they work across all four collars and every occasion. Colours (seafoam, camel, blush) are your personality. A wardrobe of three neutrals and two colours covers nearly everything.

FAQ
