Linen is one of the oldest fibers, and it remains relevant for obvious reasons. The fiber structure allows for air circulation that plain cotton cannot replicate. Perspiration is absorbed and dissipated quickly, rather than being trapped against the skin.

BACCUS works exclusively with certified linen, sourced primarily from suppliers in Italy, one of the countries with a strong tradition and quality control in producing this fiber. The difference compared to linen from other origins is noticeable to the touch, and also in how the fabric drapes and withstands repeated use without losing its shape.

The SS26 collection presents three linen styles that cover most situations the upcoming hot days will demand. The white shirt is the most versatile starting point. The brown and burgundy mélange linen brings effortless character. Sage green is the option for those who want to step out of their comfort zone without taking too much risk.

All are made in Portugal, in Gondomar, with attention to stitching and details that have defined BACCUS from the start. The collar maintains enough shape to work open or with the first button closed. The sleeves are designed to be rolled up to the elbow without creating bulk. BACCUS linen shirts can be worn with a button-down collar for a casual look or with a hidden button collar. Whether for a less formal gathering or a formal occasion like a wedding.

More than just a simple summer shirt, BACCUS's new SS26 beige offering brings structure and sophistication to the wardrobe. Thanks to its versatility, it adapts to both a casual lunch, paired with denim or joggers, and formal occasions with linen trousers. An intelligent option with quality that makes all the difference.

Combining a linen shirt with linen and cotton blend trousers is not an exaggeration. It's rational. A full linen or linen-cotton outfit creates a cohesive look, reduces the overall weight of what you're wearing, and keeps your body temperature controlled even during the hottest hours.

Baccus linen and cotton trousers feature a contemporary straight cut, a waistband with a partial elastic band for comfort without losing shape, and a length designed to be worn with or without a cuff. The natural beige tone is the balance that matches any shirt in the collection.

The all-white look is deliberately simple. The strength lies in the quality of the fabrics and the cut, not the accessories. It works equally well on a hotel terrace on the Alentejo coast or on a farm in the Minho region.

Look 01 - All white. White linen shirt with light beige or white linen trousers. Leather sandals or moccasins without socks. This is the outfit that works in any summer context without overthinking it.

Look 02 - Tone contrast. Melange green shirt with beige or khaki linen trousers. Suede shoes or minimalist trainers. Conveys casualness with taste, works well for outdoor dinners or afternoon strolls.

Look 03 - The elegant style. Bordeaux or brown melange linen shirt with white linen trousers. Straw hat as an optional accessory. This is the look that photographs well and serves as a reference for 30-degree days with social engagements.
