AN ICONIC MODEL
THE LINEN SHIRT
Renowned for its exceptional quality, European linen is considered one of the best in the world. Particularly lightweight, this noble fabric allows for better air circulation, making it a preferred choice in summer. Recognisable for its durability and drier texture, linen retains its unique character over time.
Famous for its swimwear as well as its beachwear, Vilebrequin has made linen a signature fabric. A true icon of the brand, the Vilebrequin linen shirt has many faces: whether in the city or on the beach, it offers a laid-back yet chic look. Carefully selected, the linen we use for our men's shirts is particularly breathable, making it ideal for hot days. The fit, perfectly tailored, enhances the silhouette while ensuring great freedom of movement. Vilebrequin’s attention to detail is evident even in the buttons, with the V-shaped stitching subtly recalling the brand's DNA.
