The warmth of the sun on your skin, dripping bites of ripe fruit, and refreshing dips in lakes, oceans, and pools prove that summer is a feeling just as much as it’s a season. The sentiment rings true for warm weather clothes too, as certain fabrics like linen, crochet, terry cloth and raffia, just feel like summer. 

Summer this year may look different than years past, but there’s still the pleasure that comes from slipping on a linen dress or sporting a raffia accessory. They instantly evoke the jocund attitude of the season. Summertime doesn’t take itself too seriously and the whimsical, effortless textures of the season don’t either. Here, shop the textiles that exude summer, like lightweight linen, relaxed crochet, unfussy raffia, and easy terry cloth.
