Nico Long-Sleeve Linen-Viscose Shirt

What is the Lewis James Linen–Viscose Shirt & Trouser Set?

The Lewis James Linen Viscose Set is our reinterpretation of the relaxed summer uniform one that blends ease with refinement. Instead of leaning into the casual nature of linen, we set out to create a two piece that feels elevated from every angle: clean, sharp and quietly sophisticated.

Made from a premium blend of European flax linen and viscose, the set offers lightweight breathability with a smooth drape that moves fluidly with the body. The shirt sits with understated structure, while the trousers fall with a soft stack at the hem, creating a relaxed yet polished silhouette.

Effortless when worn as a coordinated set and equally refined when styled separately, it represents summer dressing at its most considered.

Several elements distinguish this set from traditional linen pieces and place it firmly in the world of quiet luxury:

• A Linen Blend Engineered to Solve Linen’s Weaknesses

We chose European-grown flax linen blended with viscose to create a fabric that behaves differently from ordinary linen.

• Viscose softens the linen fibres, giving the fabric a smooth, almost silk-like hand.
• It significantly reduces natural creasing, allowing the set to hold its refined appearance throughout the day.
• It adds fluidity and movement, eliminating the stiffness you get in standard linen.
• It enhances temperature regulation, staying cool against the skin even in high heat.
• And crucially, it makes the garment lightweight without becoming see through or fragile, striking the ideal balance for warm-weather wear.
• Elevated Comfort That Feels Premium on the Body

The viscose content gives the fabric a gentle drape and subtle lustre, elevating the entire look while keeping it incredibly comfortable. You feel the refinement when you move soft, breathable, supportive.

• Tailoring Designed for Modern Ease

The trousers are cut to stack elegantly at the hem, creating relaxed sophistication without losing shape. The shirt drapes with a clean line, offering structure without rigidity made to flatter, not constrain.

• Colourways That Expand Your Wardrobe

Each hue is designed to work within the Lewis James ecosystem.

Mix tones across the collection or pair the pieces with our pleated linen trousers, linen shorts, or long-line swim shorts the blends of texture and tone stay elevated no matter the combination.

• Quiet Luxury in Every Detail

Tonal embroidery, high build back neck branding and minimalist finishing give the set its signature refined identity. Nothing loud. Nothing unnecessary. Just tastefully executed luxury.

This is linen elevated to its highest expression comfortable, breathable, crease resistant and designed to make you feel refined all day.

This set was created to be one of the most versatile components of the Lewis James wardrobe equally strong worn together or broken up into individual looks.

• As a Coordinated Set

The shirt and trousers worn together create a clean, contemporary silhouette perfect for warm evenings, travel days, or elevated resort set- tings.

• With White Pleated Linen Trousers

Pair the shirt alone with our white pleated linen trousers for a crisp, polished look that feels fresh and timeless.

• With Linen Pleated Shorts

For a relaxed yet refined daytime outfit, the shirt styles beautifully with our linen shorts breathable, balanced and effortlessly premium.

• With Long Line Swim Shorts

The lightweight drape of the shirt complements the tailored smartness of our swim shorts. Ideal for beach clubs, seaside lunches, or late after noon strolls.

• Mix & Match Colourways

Every hue in the collection works interchangeably.

Tone-on-tone or contrasting combinations always feel put together and intentional.

Whether styled minimally or layered into your wider wardrobe, the set adapts naturally, day or night.

To keep the fabric lightweight, fluid and polished, we recommend the following care:

• Washing
  - Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle
  - Wash inside out to protect the finish
  - Use a mild detergent
  - Avoid bleach
• Drying
  - Do not tumble dry
  - Hang or lay flat to dry naturally
  - Keep away from direct heat
• Ironing
  - Iron at a maximum of 110°C
  - Steam lightly to restore the drape
• Professional Care
  - For a perfectly pressed, crisp look, professional dry cleaning in tetrachloroethene or hydrocar bons is recommended
  With mindful care, the set maintains its clean lines, soft movement and elevated finish, season after season.
