A second person shared of Boden's Naria Tank Linen Blend: "I saw this in store on Friday and went back to buy it on Saturday. It’s one of those items of clothing that if you don’t buy when you see it it will sell out. I just love it! When it gets warmer I will wear it as a tank."

Another hot item linen pick is the June Short Sleeve Linen Dress for £79. Made to wear everywhere, the dress boasts a unique floral design, ideal to pair with a pair of sunglasses and your favourite sandals.

In a five-star rating, one person shared: "Love this colour and fit. Very comfortable easy to wear. Makes me feel very summery."

A second comment raved: "A very nice dress, good length and the print is gorgeous. Saw it in shop and couldn't not buy it. Will be great on holiday as it's loose fitting and not clingy." Although one person mentioned: "I had to return, it didn't suit me."

Another favourite is the Viola Sleeveless Linen Dungaree for £80, ideal for easy, breezy days in the sun. It boasts over 250 five-star reviews from shopper who love the ease of wearing.

A third person ravd: "I have three pairs of these dungarees - they are so comfortable to wear, I love them." However, someone said: "A lovely pattern but unfortunately way too small in body."
