I Couldn't Believe My Mom's Stylish, Breezy Linen Set Is From Old Navy—or That It's Basically Wrinkle-free
The Old Navy Linen-blend Wide-leg Pants and coordinating Loose Button-down Shirt make the ideal matching set for spring and summer travel. Made of a linen-viscose blend, the fabric boasts all the airiness of typical linen, but with better wrinkle-resistance and softness. After hearing my mom rave about this set (and seeing how elevated she looks in it), I'm adding one to my own cart—and it's just $58 at Old Navy.
Linen is a fan favorite for many reasons, but softness is typically not one of them. If anything, linen is known to be pretty stiff, although it softens with wear. This Old Navy matching set is an exception. My mom raves that it's 'softer and has a better drape' than 100 percent linen.
The flattering drape is enhanced by side slits on the shirt, which add extra comfort and flowiness to the top. The wide-leg pants add to the breezy appearance of the set, elongating the outfit's silhouette without looking overly baggy. Plus, the pants feature an elastic waistband that's supremely comfortable, so you'll feel cozy on long flights and sightseeing days alike—just keep in mind the pants run wide in the waist.
While this linen matching set isn't entirely wrinkle-resistant, travelers will love its ability to stay crisp all day. My mom claims it 'wrinkles so much less' than the rest of her linen collection. That means you can sit, lounge, and even travel in the set without worrying about looking untidy.
You can snag this set in a variety of colors and prints, including white, rust, black, and pinstriped options. And its versatility is unrivaled: throw it over a swimsuit for a beachy coverup, style it with strappy heels for a vacation dinner, or pair it with white sneakers for an effortless look running errands. You can even snag the items individually if sets aren't quite your speed. The top and pants can be separately styled with just about anything in your travel capsule wardrobe.
Your options don't stop there, though. Old Navy's linen shop is filled with coordinating linen-blend pieces, so you can design your preferred set (or even buy multiple pieces in the same color). I'm a fan of the Linen-blend Pull-on Shorts and the Linen-blend Crop Top, but there are so many styles to choose from.
While this set is one of the best linen outfits around, keep reading for more affordable options that deserve a spot in your suitcase. Prices start at just $25.

Amazon's Newest Fashion Drop Has the Best Vacation Clothes I've Seen All Summer—Including Linen Styles From $8
Whenever I'm planning a vacation, I'm tempted to splurge on a whole new wardrobe. Even a quick weekend trip can spark an intense shopping frenzy, so I've mastered finding high-quality, inexpensive travel pieces that won't break the bank. Believe it or not, one of the best retailers to shop for affordable, elevated pieces is Amazon—and I just found a fresh batch of travel-ready styles. Amazon's New Releases storefront is filled with just-added pieces that are ideal for summer travel. I searched these new fashion drops, and I was seriously impressed with what I found: high-quality cotton and linen pieces, elevated wardrobe staples, and travel-friendly designs. The best part? Since these items are brand new, you're unlikely to spot other travelers in the same outfit. Keep reading for the best travel clothes that no one will believe are from Amazon, including matching sets, linen pants, summer dresses, and more. Prices start at just $8. I'm willing to bet you'll want to wear these 'lightweight and comfortable' linen pants on repeat. Their stretchy drawstring waist and flowy flared cut ensure you'll stay comfy all day long, while the wrinkle-resistant fabric makes them ideal for travel. Best of all, they're available in four inseam lengths to accommodate a wide variety of heights. Pair them with casual sandals, white sneakers, or wedges, depending on the occasion. If there's such a thing as a perfect pair of shorts, this is it. The five-inch inseam isn't too short or too long, and the stretchy drawstring waist will keep you comfy all day. Plus, the breezy cotton-linen blend will keep you cool on the hottest summer days. I'd pair these shorts with a white blouse or button-down shirt, although the possibilities are endless. A flowy strapless top and wide-leg pants make up this gorgeous matching set, which happens to be one of the most stylish sets I've spotted at Amazon. The top and bottom are both classic, versatile pieces, so they can easily be styled separately as well as together. Best of all, the airy cotton fabric ensures you'll be cool and comfortable under the sun. Anrabess makes some of my favorite travel pants, and I'm eyeing this new cropped style. With a flowy fit and drawstring waist, these pants are 'extremely comfortable,' according to reviewers. The cropped length makes them perfect for walks on the beach, and they'd look great with a simple tank or feminine blouse. This pleated tank is a prime example of the pieces you need to build a capsule wardrobe. With a babydoll silhouette and pleated fabric, it puts a unique spin on a basic white tank while still being versatile enough to pair with just about anything. The cotton fabric, paired with the flowy top, will keep you feeling cool and breezy, even on summer's hottest days. If dramatic wide-leg pants are on your shopping list, I highly recommend you go for this pair. Reviewers describe them as 'lightweight without being paper-thin' and 'flowy while still being flattering.' Thanks to the linen-rayon blend, these pants have a better drape than pure linen, though they're still just as breathable. Ever since reading that a fellow travel writer wore a denim mini dress on repeat while living in Nice, I've been dying to add a similar style to my wardrobe. While denim may not scream 'summer,' the short hemline and relaxed fit ensure this adorable dress won't be too stuffy. Plus, this dress is so easy to style from day to night. I would wear this dress with white sneakers for a day of sightseeing and swap them out for a dressier shoe for dinner. Despite the cotton-linen blend, reviewers rave that this staple button-down 'doesn't wrinkle' and 'is not see-through.' I love that this shirt has three-quarter sleeves and a V-neck detail, which sets it apart from other simple button-downs. I'd layer it over a tank top on chilly nights or throw it over a swimsuit on beach days. This skirt set looks so much like a $98 version shoppers love—but it's just $32. But don't worry, you won't pay the price when it comes to quality, according to reviewers. Shoppers rave about the set's fabric quality, effortless look, and versatility. One shopper calls it 'great for travel,' adding that it can even be styled into the colder months. I love that the top and bottom can be styled separately or together, the mark of a wardrobe-elevating set. At just $8, this cotton-linen tank top is an absolute steal. Its breezy fabric and versatile design ensure it will get plenty of wear, and one reviewer wrote that they now own three different colors of this 'light and flowy' piece. There are 30 colors to choose from, including vibrant shades and simple neutrals. One reviewer wrote they 'love these for hot, humid weather in Hawaii.' These barrel pants blend my two favorite fabrics for summer, cotton and linen, ensuring you'll stay cool on hot travel days. Shoppers note that the fabric is thicker than expected, which means it's not as see-through as 100-percent linen. While these pants have a comfy drawstring waist, they do run small according to reviewers, so be sure to size up for the perfect fit. I'll be honest: I wasn't completely sold on this midi dress until I peeked at the reviews. Shoppers are raving about the fit and quality, and the dress looks gorgeous in the reviewer images. Instead of a structured A-line silhouette, it flows beautifully at the waist for a more relaxed feel. The dress is breezy, comfortable, and sophisticated. I'm adding it to my cart for my next dressy dinner. Love a great deal? Sign up for our T+L Recommends newsletter and we'll send you our favorite travel products each week.

I tried on a ton of Old Navy dresses — they make me feel comfortable and chic as a 48-year-old mom, and they're all on sale
Including a dress with 2,100 5-star reviews, plus my first foray into romper territory. There was a time in the early 2000s when everything I owned was from Old Navy. Flash forward to me at 48, and I still can't get enough of the dependable and always affordable brand. Their current summer collection is particularly on-point — something I learned when I decided to pop into the store on my way back from an emergency evening milk run (how do we go through it so fast!?). I tried on over a dozen items, and I wanted every single one of them. From casual dresses to cute jumpsuits, these all make me feel comfortable and chic, and all work for my busy life as a mom of two. The best part? Everything is currently under $35 thanks to Old Navy's massive sale. Check out my summer style recommendations below. Fit & Flare Crepe Mini Dress $25 $50 at Old Navy I don't always love dresses that fall above the knee, but this mini with its side pockets was just too cute not to try. I was immediately drawn to the bright colourway and appreciated the wide adjustable straps. The 100 per cent viscose rayon fabric is curve-hugging without being too tight, and the fit-and-flare shape is super flattering — no wonder it has more than 2,100 five-star reviews and shoppers are calling this the "perfect summer dress." One thing? My usual size XS fit fine, but I found it to be a bit looser than I would like in the bust. Fit & Flare Linen-Blend Midi Dress $33 $55 at Old Navy I absolutely loved this dress. The fit, length and comfort were all off the charts. I tried it on in three different colourways and loved them all. Available in regular, tall and petite sizes, this dress is a great option for a variety of body types. With more than 2,000 five-star reviews, I'm not the only one raving about this "versatile" and "flattering" frock. Floral Mini Swing Dress $22 $45 at Old Navy This 100 per cent cotton twill dress is so light and airy. The fabric feels great, and the sleeves can be worn on or off the shoulders depending on your mood and how much coverage you want. Again, I'm not the biggest fan of short hemlines, but I found the silhouette to be really flattering paired with longer sleeves. The hidden side pockets are, of course, an awesome bonus. It's selling fast, so you'll want to move quickly on this one! Button-Front Linen-Blend Cami Jumpsuit $27 $55 at Old Navy I've always wanted to be someone who could pull off a jumpsuit but never found one I felt comfortable in — until now. This linen/rayon number fits my smaller frame perfectly. I love the hip pockets, four-button front and adjustable straps. I will say it took a little muscle to get the fitted waist above my hips, and I wish it had a zip for easy on and off, but, good golly, did it look and feel great on. Sleeveless Mini Swing Dress From $24 $35 at Old Navy For me, it's all about bright colours and prints this summer. The super soft rayon/spandex blend of fabric would fall nicely over my swimsuit or out and about for a casual day. The high neck provides great coverage, and with a cute pair of sandals or wedges, it's perfect for summer. It does appear to wrinkle easily, which can be a pain, so have a steamer handy when you're ready to wear. This bright green hue is sold out right now, but you can still snag it in several other colours and prints. Fit & Flare Twist-Front Cami Romper $31 $45 at Old Navy Me? In a romper? No way! I rarely wear shorts, but this one was too cute not to try. I love the cut-out in the middle, and the 100 per cent cotton fabric feels so great against my sensitive skin. The adjustable spaghetti straps allowed me to get the perfect fit on top. Consider me a convert. Vintage Crew-Neck Mini T-Shirt Dress From $14 $25 at Old Navy I can see this "easy to wear" dress being a total go-to for me as a low-maintenance mom of two. I get a bit self-conscious about my mommy-middle, so I love that this dress is loose-fitting but still stylish and trendy. This pink colour I tried on is sold out, but you can still buy it in beige, black, blue and more colours. Linen-Blend Mini Dress $22 $45 at Old Navy I've never owned anything gingham (seriously!) but this cheerful, sunny number is really tempting me. Just a note: I would recommend investing in some skin-toned underwear if you opt for this style, as the fabric is quite lightweight. Fit & Flare Crinkle Gauze Maxi Dress $25 $50 at Old Navy This dress can take you from a day at the beach to a night out in a pinch. Humid days will be much more survivable while wearing this flowy frock. However, if you need a dress with more chest support, this might not be a fit for you. This colour is sold out, but it's currently available in a beautiful off-white. Vintage Maxi T-Shirt Dress From $18 $35 at Old Navy Whether you are looking for a comfy beach cover-up or a low-maintenance dress for running errands, this 100 per cent cotton T-shirt dress checks all the boxes. While the black colour I tried on is sold out, there's still a cute brown and black striped version fully stocked. The slide slits also give it a little more of an edgy style while allowing you to move with (or chase) your kiddos. Fit & Flare Smocked Bodice Mini Dress From $24 $50 at Old Navy This dress is a perfect example of one that looks way better on than it does on the rack. The V-neck tie front is fun and sexy, and I love the look of the ruffled waist. The smocked bodice of this 100 per cent cotton twill dress also allows for a super comfortable fit. I never had a purple dress on my bingo card for summer, but this comfy one with pockets has totally won my heart. Psst — stock is going fast!

Athleta's CEO is out and being replaced by a woman with a long track record at Nike
Only six years ago, Gap Inc was telling investors that its Athleta yoga clothing brand was on its way to becoming a $2 billion-a-year brand as it attracted legions of fans drawn to its high quality, hip activewear that was less expensive than that of Lululemon Athletica. But that was two CEOs ago. Gap Inc, which also owns Old Navy and Banana Republic, said on Tuesday that it was replacing Athleta CEO Chris Blakeslee, tapping Maggie Gauger, a 20-year veteran of Nike, to try her hand at re-invigorating a brand that had once been seen as a key motor for Gap Inc's growth despite being smaller than its sister brands. The once high-flying brand has faltered since sales peaked at $1.45 billion four years ago. Last year, the business's sales came in at $1.353 billion, roughly on par with the year before, and then declined sharply in the first quarter of the current fiscal year. Gauger's appointment marks a return to having a woman CEO at the helm of a brand known for its 'Power of She' slogan and being a label for women and girls and empowering them in the world of sports. 'Maggie blends proven business transformation capabilities, deep consumer centricity, product fluency, and a heartfelt commitment to empowering women and girls,' said Gap Inc CEO Richard Dickson, who has been leading a company wide turnaround for two years now, in a statement. When Blakeslee's appointment, made before Dickson became chief executive, was announced exactly two years ago, there was palpable excitement and the perception that landing him was a coup. After all, Blakeslee had come from Athleta rival Alo Yoga and Bella+Canvas, where he had doubled sales to $1 billion in just a few years. What's more, Alo was, and still is, generating a ton of buzz and challenging the supremacy of long time category leaders like Lululemon. But Blakeslee, who had inherited a brand dealing with a spate of product flops and an athleisure-wear trend that was peaking, was unable to generate the same heat at Athleta. (He replaced Mary Beth Laughton, now CEO of REI, in 2023 a few months after she left in the wake of what Gap Inc's former interim CEO Bob Martin called ongoing 'product acceptance challenges.') After stanching the bleeding in 2024, Athleta's declines resumed this year. The 8% drop in comparable sales in the first quarter reported in May at Athleta may well have sealed Blakeslee's fate. 'Work is being done to reset the brand and improve product and marketing which will take time,' Gap Inc said tersely in its earnings report in May. So it will be up to Gauger, whose last job at Nike was leading its North America women's business, to address slow innovation, to renew a focus on the performance aspect of its clothing that had become more focused on chasing fashion trends, alienating long time loyalists in the process, and make clearer to consumers how Athleta is different in a very crowded segment in North American where even Lululemon has seen growth cool. At Nike, Gauger focused on generating growth and customer loyalty for Nike's active and athleisure products. 'I'm energized to bring my experience working at the intersection of sport, style and culture to Athleta, a brand with strong purpose and still so much untapped potential,' said Maggie Gauger. Since Dickson's arrival, Gap's namesake brand and Old Navy have seen their fortunes improve, helped by a quicker cadence of innovation and a bigger effort to connect the brands to the broader culture. So it's not surprising that Dickson would want someone of his choosing to do the same for the Athleta brand. This story was originally featured on
