It’s been a busy week for Brad Pitt, who has walked at least four carpets in the past five days while on the European stage of the press tour for his movie Bullet Train. But in the process of promoting the upcoming action-comedy, the 58-year-old actor has inadvertently promoted a new summer outfit we can all get behind: the linen suit.

If anyone could convince someone to wear a two-piece suit amid an unprecedented heat wave, it’s Pete, who wore a different set of the same linen collection, tailored by designer Hans Nicholas Mott, for this week’s slate of press events. Each outfit consists of a linen jacket, drawstring pants, and a slouchy shirt (in different spring colors: salmon pink, khaki, and slate gray), along with his signature aviator sunglasses and white slip-on shoes.

But Pitt’s memorable outfit, photos of which aptly appeared on social media, deviated from what quickly became the Oscar winner’s uniform. When he arrived in Berlin for the premiere in Germany, he appeared dressed in linen skirt set, which makes an already fresh summer outfit even more refreshing. The complete mud brown ensemble consisted of a knee-length skirt (short enough for a rare look at a unicorn tattoo), a lightweight jacket and a pink button-down.

In short, the celebrity-turned-influencer may have officially cracked the code for summer’s biggest clothing dilemma. Below, check out the best linens to wear in the heat this summer—for your next trip to the Hamptons or an outdoor meal.
