White & Co LivingSummer in Australia is all about effortless style that can take you from a morning coffee run to a balmy backyard BBQ without missing a beat. If there is one piece every woman needs in her seasonal rotation, it’s a high-quality linen shirt.
Enter the Katie Linen Shirt in Khaki.
With its relaxed silhouette, breathable fabric, and timeless earthy hue, the Katie is the ultimate wardrobe chameleon. Today, we’re showing you how to style this must-have piece for four different summer occasions.
The "Off-Duty" Look: Running Errands
Whether you’re hitting the local markets or ticking off the school holiday to-do list, comfort is non-negotiable—but that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style.
Pair your Katie Linen Shirt with the Sarah Rib Waist Linen Pants in Natural. The rib waistband offers all-day comfort, while the natural and khaki tones create a sophisticated, earthy palette. Complete the look with the Parallel Suede Sneakers in Walnut Brown Ivory for a sporty yet polished finish.
Style Tip: Leave the shirt unbuttoned over a simple white tee for a relaxed, layered feel.
The Sun-Drenched Look: Beach Day
Linen is the perfect beach companion because it’s lightweight and sun-protective. For a day by the water, use your Katie Shirt as a chic cover-up.
Layer it over the Rib Crew Tank in White and our best-selling Coco Denim Shorts in Mid Wash. To finish, slide into the Sundreamer Slide Sandals. This outfit is easy to peel off when you're ready for a dip and easy to throw back on for a post-beach gelato.
The Elevated Look: Summer at the Office
Who says workwear has to be stiff? You can absolutely bring your linen favourites into the office by playing with darker tones and structured accessories.
Tuck the Katie Shirt into the Luxe Linen Pants in Black for a sharp, monochromatic contrast. The black linen adds an instant level of formality. Elevate the ensemble with the Peyton Gold Hoops to catch the light and add a touch of professional shine.
The Social Look: Summer BBQ
For those casual afternoon get-togethers that stretch into the evening, try a creative silhouette.
Instead of a traditional tuck, take the ends of your Katie Linen Shirt and cross them over at the waist, tucking them into the Catalina Midi Skirt in White. This "wrap style" creates a beautiful waistline and pairs perfectly with the crisp white denim of the skirt. It’s fresh, feminine, and perfect for a festive drink in the sun.
