IT’S officially linen season - and you can pick up clothing made from the cooling material for as cheap as £5.99 thanks to Lidl.
The budget supermarket has harnessed the power of linen’s moisture-wicking properties and high breathability to bless its middle aisle with some new summer styles.
Launching in stores today, Lidl’s new linen range features shorts, trousers and shirts for ladies and men alike.
The best bit? Every piece is priced below £9, guaranteeing you change from a £10 note.
With Google searches for breezy linen styles soaring to an all-time high according to Lidl bosses, the brand wanted to give “fashionistas a chance to bag a bargain, while keeping cool”.
“From effortless shirts to relaxed-fit shorts, shoppers can be winnin’ in linen, with seven must-have pieces available and prices starting from as little as £5.99,” they said.
Kicking off the collection and adding a touch of understated chic to any occasion is the Men’s Linen Blend Shirt for £7.99.
It is available in an array of colours and dubbed as an ideal lightweight layer for hot weather.
And, for women after something casual yet polished, the Ladies’ Linen Blend T-Shirt for £5.99 combines comfort with an easy summer style.
Perfect for a sun-soaked city outing or pub garden jolly, the Ladies’ Linen Blend Trousers and Men’s Linen Blend Trousers cost £8.99 a pop.
There’s also the Ladies’ Linen Blend Shorts for £6.99 and Men’s Linen Shorts for £7.99.
“Lidl’s heat-wave ready threads are ideal for those enjoying a chill day in the sunshine,” supermarket bosses said.
Made from the flax plant, linen is a natural fiber that doesn’t trap heat like synthetic fabrics, making it a great choice for staying cool when the temperature rises.
As such, it is naturally lightweight, which makes it easy to wear in hot weather without feeling weighed down.
What’s more, the breathable fabric allows for better circulation around your body.
Lidl unveiled its first clothing range in July 2024, and thanks to roaring success, has released more in time for summer 2025.
You can shop the new clothing range in your local Lidl middle aisle as part of its seasonal offering.
But be warned, you’ll need to be quick - as once these linens are gone once, they’re gone for good.
