Lululemon's new linen collection keeps you sweat-free all summer long
New gear drops every single week at Lululemon and this week we're stoked that its lightweight LuluLinen is finally here. As someone who tries to wear functional yet stylish athleisure wear during the summer, this linen clothing line aligns with exactly what I'm reaching for to wear on blistering hot days.
We love shopping for new versions of classic silhouettes. Similar to its Align No Line launch back in May, the LuluLinen collection is comprised of similar designs that we know and love, but are updated with seasonal materials. Below are the men's and women's pieces. They come in a handful of neutral colors and, for the most part, range from sizes XXS to XXL.
Lululemon Women's LuluLinen Relaxed Button-Up
A breezy oversized button-up is dreamy for those days when you want to look presentable but feel extremely comfortable. It comes in a crisp white or light khaki and is long enough to cover your bum if you want to throw biker shorts underneath for a more casual look.
Lululemon Women's LuluLinen High-Rise Shorts
Splurge for the matching shorts if you're already getting the top. They come in an additional baby blue color if you want to tastefully clash and are a substantial six inches long to prevent your legs from chafing when dashing around the neighborhood.
Lululemon Men's LuluLinen Pleated Trousers
Still looking for the perfect gift for your hubby, dad or other father figure in your life? Look no further. These ultra-light pleated trousers are suitable for summer barbecues, dinners out on the town and even beach vacations. The hardest part will be choosing which earth tone to buy.
Lululemon Women's LuluLinen Trousers
As a trouser lover, I picture myself wearing these into the office with a mock neck top and ballet flats for a smart casual look. The bottom of the pant legs are cuffed and hemmed to avoid unnecessary tailoring. For those who avoid belts, these pants have an elastic waistband that stays put all day long.
Lululemon Women's LuluLinen Oversized Blazer
Channel your inner Paige DeSorbo with a drapey double-breasted blazer. It's suitable for cool days in the office or seaside walks and pairs nicely with the high-rise shorts and a cropped bra top. This blazer also covers your rear if you want to throw it over an athletic set or onesie post Pilates.
Lululemon Men's LuluLinen Short-Sleeve Shirt
Personally, I like the tailored look of the men's short sleeve versus the women's. It also comes in three different and lighter colors and a light blue that is the perfect beach pastel. Lucky for men's clothing wearers, it's also $10 less than the women's.
Lululemon Men's LuluLinen Pull-On Shorts
While linen is in the name, this new fabric wicks sweat better and is less prone to wrinkling. These casual shorts can take on vigorous walks and lifting sessions with ease and the roomy glute and thigh areas are perfect for those who need the extra inches.
Lululemon Men's LuluLinen Long-Sleeve Shirt
Ditch your go-to date night white tee for something a bit more refined. This long-sleeved button-up can be worn closed or open if you're leaning towards a more relaxed fit and comes in cream, blue and white. It's the perfect OOO and happy hour uniform that can be worn all season long.
Lululemon Men's LuluLinen Pull-On Pants
Pull-on pants are my go-to for a number of reasons. They look great with an active sandal like Tevas or Chacos and pair nicely with Birkenstock Boston Clogs. I adore the darker colors that these bottoms come in and appreciate the leg tapering for a more polished look. With Father's Day this weekend and summer weather heating up, it's the perfect time to stock up on reliable clothing pieces for yourself or a loved one before you need them the most. Keep in mind that there's never bad weather, just bad clothing so prepare for and look put together during the next heat wave with Lululemon's LuluLinen collection.

Huishan Zhang Resort 2026 Collection
Huishan Zhang started working on his resort collection in tandem with spring, shown last September. 'You feel like you have more time to properly think things through,' the designer said of ideating collections simultaneously. Having spoken to Zhang over several seasons, he gives off a tangible feeling of being in his groove: he's hired several new team members, secured a new studio in East London, and says everything is 'running smoothly.' His customers will be happy to see that the new collection caters to Zhang's usual wardrobe touch points: prim daytime separates (some with faux-fur trims) in bouclé and denim, and plenty of dresses, varied in volume and finish. At a preview, he singled out a feather-kissed, hand-embellished minidress lined with silk, another minidress in his signature, hard-to-crease satin with embroidered crystals all over, and a maxi with a wing-like side train connected to the shoulder, made from a new stretch fabric. 'I really want to create a design language,' he said, adding: 'For resort, we wanted to make [our] woman's portrait more vivid.' This sentiment was translated via the faux-leather elements and the darker-toned looks––the same cue of 'elegance versus rebellion,' that he explored last season, was a theme yet again––realized in '1960s-inspired' silhouettes. As ever, a muse grounded the spirit of the collection. This time for Zhang, it was Nan Kempner, who famously removed her trousers when denied entry to a New York restaurant for defying its dress code; instead wearing her Saint Laurent Le Smoking jacket as a dress.

The 7 Best Sheets To Achieve Your Deepest Sleep Yet, Tested By Editors
Sheets are an integral piece of your bedroom setup; more than simply contributing to your aesthetic, they can also improve your sleep by providing comfort and temperature regulation. Our pick for the best sheets overall is the Boll & Branch Signature Hemmed Sheet Set, as they're durable and cooling with a luxurious feel—plus they come in a wide range of attractive colors and patterns. After testing dozens of sets, our editors named the Boll & Branch Signature Hemmed Sheet Set the ... More best sheets overall. But everyone has a difference preference when it comes to sheets. Some like them crisp and thick, while others may prefer a soft and lightweight material. No matter what you're looking for, we rounded up the seven best sheet sets to cater to a wide range of sleepers and their needs, all based on thorough research and testing. Boll & Branch Materials: 100% organic long-staple cotton | Thread count: Not listed | Sizes: Twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, California king, split king | Key features: Organic materials, Oeko-Tex certification, matte finish Pros: Cons: Boll & Branch's Signature Hemmed Sheet Set earned the top spot on this list because these sheets are luxurious, naturally cooling and long-lasting. Made from 100% organic cotton, they feature a classic matte finish that's similar to what you'd find in a high-end hotel—and they get softer with every wash. The fitted sheet can also fit mattresses up to 17 inches (or your thicker-than-average bed), so we think they're an accommodating pick for most people. We also appreciate the large variety of colors and patterns to choose from. 'The Signature Sheets were the first set of luxury bedding I tested around five years ago, and ever since, there have been very few sheet sets that lived up to the buttery softness, durability and breathable feel of this pair,' says mattress and sleep editor McKenzie Dillon. 'The sheets have been through countless cycles in the washer and dryer and they never lost their silky-smoothness.' She adds that they drape over you without making you feel too hot, allowing you to use them year-round. Amazon Materials: Double-brushed microfiber | Thread count: Not listed | Sizes: Twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, California king, split king | Key features: Choice of 45 colorways, Oeko-Tex certified Pros: Cons: I discovered this Mellanni set nearly a decade ago when I was visiting a friend and needed to know what sheets were on her guest bed. They were soft and lightweight while still having a quality feel. When I learned the price, I immediately ordered a set that—according to my Amazon order history—lasted a little over three years before I ordered another. (Keep in mind these were my main sheets at the time.) Their endorsements don't come from my friend and me alone, though; these sheets have received over 64,000 5-star reviews from other shoppers who compliment their smoothness, durability and temperature regulation. The microfiber material offers a soft feel that isn't prone to wrinkling nor clinging to the skin. Whether for a guest room or primary bedroom, this Mellanni sheet set is a solid budget-friendly option that comes in every color of the rainbow and then some. Just keep in mind the microfiber material is not as natural or high-quality as the others on this list. Brooklinen Materials: 100% long-staple cotton | Thread count: 270 | Sizes: Twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, California king | Key features: Oeko-Tex certified, 'long' and 'short' tags on fitted sheet Pros: Cons: If you love a cool, crisp feel, Brooklinen's Classic Percale Core Sheet Set delivers to the nth degree. (Think: sleeping while wrapped up in a luxe button-down shirt.) Thanks to the percale weave, the sheets are breathable while still maintaining a substantial weight. They have more structure to them than bamboo sheets, without trapping heat—instead, they wick away moisture. One of our testers found them to embody a smoothness that feels luxurious. 'If you're looking for a high-quality sheet set that holds up well to regular washing, this is worth considering,' she says. We also love how they have 'long' and 'short' labels, so making the bed is a more effortless task, and envelope pillowcases to keep your pillows in place. Quince Materials: 100% viscose from organic bamboo | Thread count: 300 | Sizes: Twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, California king | Key features: Soft sateen weave, choice of 16 colorways, Oeko-Tex certified Pros: Cons: I'm a huge fan of bamboo sheets, as they offer a buttery-soft feel that keeps you cool. Out of the several sets I've tested, I've kept this pick from Quince in my regular rotation because it has the most balanced feel in terms of being soft and lightweight, but not too thin or lacking substance. I also enjoy their subtle sheen and drapey appearance, and they've maintained their softness after several washes. Since they're made with 100% viscose from organic bamboo, they're hypoallergenic and a great option for anyone with sensitive skin or allergies. You can choose from 16 different colors and forgo the flat sheet if you'd like. In order to prevent wrinkling, Quince recommends pulling the sheets out from the dryer immediately. The brand also suggests avoiding using fabric softener or dryer balls when washing and drying them to prevent pilling. The Company Store Materials: 100% Supima cotton | Thread count: 450 | Sizes: Twin, twin XL, queen, king, California king, plus queen, king and California king deep-pocket sizes | Key features: Oeko-Tex certified, 15 color choices Pros: Cons: A few picks on this list are made from cotton (and not all cotton sheets feel or look the same due to the various weaves they feature), but we named this Legends Hotel set from The Company Store our favorite of them all. That's because its 450-thread-count construction combined with Supima cotton sateen weave creates an extremely luxurious, hotel-quality feel. 'Out of the box, they feel silky smooth and oh-so soft,' says updates writer Alex Garrett. 'They also have a nice, balanced thickness that keeps you cozy without overheating.' However, she notes that they're not as cooling as other cotton sheets, such as the percale set from Brooklinen, so keep that in mind if you sleep extra hot. They also have a wrinkle-free and durable design that maintains their softness and high-end look, even after several washes. Choose from over a dozen colors as well as deep-pocket sizes if you have a taller mattress. Bed Threads Materials: 100% flax linen | GSM: 170 | Sizes: Twin, twin XL, full, queen, queen special, king, California king | Key features: Airy and light, available in 20 colorways, Oeko-Tex certified Pros: Cons: Linen sheets are often associated with being scratchy, but the Bed Threads 100% French Flax Linen Sheets rebel strongly against that reputation. As Dillon puts it, they're 'an anomaly in that they manage to be soft to the touch and substantial in weight but light and airy at the same time.' She says they've become her go-to set throughout the year since they're 'cozy enough for the wintertime and breathable enough for a hot sleeper in the summertime.' The Bed Threads sheets offer a lived-in look and come in 20 different colors, from white to pink clay (pictured). They're the most expensive pick on this list, but they're durable and designed to last, so we'd consider them a worthy investment. Bed Threads is also a 100% carbon neutral company, meaning it's dedicated to offsetting all of its carbon emissions and helping the environment. Cozy Earth Materials: 100% bamboo viscose | Thread count: 320 | Sizes: Twin/twin XL, full, queen, king, California king, split king | Key features: Deep pockets, oversized fit Pros: Cons: As mentioned earlier, I love a soft sheet. So it shouldn't be a surprise that the Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set is one of my (and many other Forbes Vetted editors') absolute favorites. These sheets are exceptionally soft and silky. They're also extremely lightweight and flowy, making them a great cooling option. I have a set that has lasted through several washes over the past few years without any signs of pilling or deterioration. They have an oversized design, and the fitted sheet can accommodate mattresses up to 20 inches, so they should be able to work for most beds. They come backed with a 10-year warranty, as well. The only downside to being so lightweight is if you choose a lighter color, like white, they're a little see-through on your pillows and mattress. Our mattress and sleep team has researched, tested and published dozens of sleep and bedding stories across Forbes Vetted, from the coolest pillowcases to our ever-popular best mattresses guide. To compile a list of the best bed sheets, we dug into our bedding-testing experience and researched the most sought-after sheets from reputable brands like Boll & Branch, Brooklinen, Cozy Earth and others. We also relied on experts insights and consumer reviews. Finding the best sheets for you comes down to what feel and materials you prefer, along with any temperature-regulation needs. 'Your bed should be a sanctuary, so I would say that it's worth it to invest in really high-quality sheets,' says Kathy Kuo, interior designer and founder/CEO of Kathy Kuo Home. 'Your skin, hair and overall mental and physical health will all benefit from quality sheets and a better night's sleep.' The first aspect to focus on is the type and quality of a sheet's material. 'We spend so much time in our beds, so it's worth it to spend a little more on bedding to ensure you're comfortable and surrounded by high-quality materials that will last for a long time,' says Kuo. Here are the sheet materials featured on this list: Kuo advises keeping in mind whether you plan to swap out your bedding seasonally, as well. 'For example, the cool feeling of crisp percale works really well for the warmer summer months, and then the softness and warmth of flannel [sheets] is nice for the wintertime,' she says. Although often advertised as being important, thread count is not a full indicator of a sheet's quality. Rather, think of it as a guide: A lower thread count (250 to 300) means a sheet set is going to be more lightweight and breathable, while a higher thread count (400 to 500) correlates to a thicker, heavier sheet. Also keep in mind that every fabric doesn't use thread count as a measurement; silk, flannel and linen are all ones that don't use it since they're manufactured differently. Will Taylor, interior designer and founder of Bright Bazaar, recommends measuring the height of your mattress (including any toppers) before purchasing sheets. 'It's important to look for sheets that specify both the pocket depth and the material quality to ensure a comfortable, lasting fit,' he says. If you need deep-pocket sheets (typically over 12 to 14 inches), there should be plenty of options available, including many on our list. 'You can find deep-pocket sheets in a variety of materials, including cotton, linen, bamboo and microfiber,' says Taylor. What Type Of Sheets Are The Best Quality? 'Cotton percale and Egyptian cotton are really tried-and-true materials for comfort and quality,' says Kuo. However, if you're looking for specific materials for different seasons, she recommends percale for the summer and flannel for the winter. What Kind Of Sheets Do Five-Star Hotels Use? Five-star hotels often use cotton sheets with either a percale or sateen weave. Percale provides a crisp and cool feel, while sateen offers a softer and warmer feel. What Sheets Does Oprah Use? Oprah has featured the Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheets in her list of favorite things numerous times over the years. These sheets are super soft, silky and lightweight.

How Hiking Apparel Startup Seniq Is Building A Million Dollar Business In The Midwest
Think this is nice? It's a version of the weekly Under 30 newsletter and would be even better in your inbox. courtesy of Seniq When Valentina Thompson and Madison Hilson look outside their windows in Columbus, Ohio, they're surrounded by a whole lot of flat land. But the smooth terrain hasn't stopped them from building Seniq, their hiking apparel company made for the mountains. Pronounced 'scenic,' the Under 30 Local: Columbus listers launched the startup in 2023 after years of working at some of the biggest retailers in the country—like Outdoor Voices and Victoria's Secret. But when Thompson and Hilson moved to Utah in 2021 and 2022, respectively, they came face to face with the growing industry of extreme sports apparel for activities like hiking, skiing and climbing. 'Fully immersing ourselves into the outdoor world and culture of Salt Lake City and Park City, the product opportunity was just so painfully obvious for us,' Thompson said. In a community so focused on performance gear, there was a surprising lack of quality—and stylish—womenswear. It started with a sketch for their now best-selling 'Trailmix Cargo Pant,' which they created because, like many women, they couldn't find a pair of pants that fit both their waist and their butt comfortably. This first product helped shape their whole ethos: They wanted to meld the technicality and durability of legacy brands like Arcteryx and Patagonia with the trendiness and careful edit they saw in indie lines. They now sell a range of products from $448 ski jackets to $118 hiking cargo shorts and $48 tanks. 'We literally got a business plan template from Canva and started writing down all of our ideas and really took a couple of weeks to flesh out our strategies, our roadmap, how we were going to execute,' said Hilson. 'We came to the conclusion that the next step was finding design help.' They moved back home because they figured they'd need the family support, set up shop in their parents' basements-turned-distribution centers, and used finances from a round of friends and family funding to hire their head designer. 'Since product was the No. 1 focus, our most important relationship we knew would be our manufacturer. So we had a list of 10 of the best manufacturers that either us or our head of design had worked with, or who we knew other great brands had worked with,' Thompson said. 'We basically sent a collection pitch to each of these manufacturers, and only three responded.' But three was more than nothing, and they started 'interview-dating' the manufacturers to see who would be the best fit. They landed on a full-service vendor based in China and started placing orders from there. (They've since begun to diversify where their products are made—a process they intended to prioritize eventually, but was expedited by concerns around President Donald Trump's tariffs.) Initially launched direct-to-consumer, Seniq is now also available at more than 16 retailers (25 storefronts) including REI, Backcountry and Evo. In 2024, they brought in more than $330,000 and are on track to surpass the million-dollar mark in 2025. Many might question the idea of building an outdoors brand away from the Pacific Northwest, or mountainous regions in general: 'It would be a dream come true if we could product-test right out of our back door. That is something that does take travel time to go and actually product-test,' Thompson said. And, in turn, creating content can also be difficult. But there are more pros than cons to building in the Midwest, they said. For instance, they find Columbus to be one of the best places in the country to grow a retail startup due to the network that surrounds them. For example, it's the home of headquarters for Abercrombie & Fitch and Victoria's Secret, among others. 'The community of retail professionals here is unmatched to any other city,' Hilson said. The two say that Jeni Britton, the founder of local ice creamery Jeni's Ice Cream, is one of their biggest mentors. And they shoot all of their ecommerce content at a creative editorial studio founded by a former Express executive. 'We have so many retail executives to lean on from every function: finance, marketing, merchandising, operations,' Thompson said. As for what's next, they're continuing to expand beyond their Ohio roots. They have in-person community activations planned across the country this July, are currently finalizing their ski and fall hike collections, and have more wholesale partnerships expected to launch this winter. 'There's more women forward outdoor brands launching than ever and all different aesthetics, different missions and goals, and there's so much space for so much newness,' said Thompson. Hilson jumped in: 'And we do think there is room for all of us.' Want to meet more Columbus entrepreneurs? Our annual 30 Under 30 Summit is coming up in the Ohio state capital. Register for your ticket here. Talk next week, Alex, Zoya & Alexandra JonnyPops JonnyPops may just be the hottest, or perhaps coolest, treat in frozen aisles this summer. What started with freezing 'smoothies-on-a-stick' in the basement of a St. Olaf college dorm is now what Forbes estimates to be a $100 million business. The popsicle entrepreneurs and 2018 Under 30 food & drink alums, Erik Brust and Connor Wray, are redefining the sweet treat market. With natural ingredients and rich flavors, children and adults alike are flocking to JonnyPops this summer. Their Unicorn popsicle may be an element of subtle foreshadowing for the rapidly growing company. Read more about Erik Brust and Connor Wray here. -Tyler Haney, under 30 alum and founder of retail company Outdoor Voices, announced this week an $11 million Series A for her second startup, TYB. It stands for 'try your best,' and it's a web 3 consumer loyalty platform that connects brands with engaged consumers through features like badges and discounts as rewards to posting online, submitting reviews, or other actions. Clients include Rare Beauty and Glossier. -Is $14.8 billion worth the end of your company? That's the question Scale AI, cofounded by Lucy Guo and Alexander Wang, might be asking today. Founded by the 30 Under 30 enterprise technology alums in 2016, it was announced this week that Meta plans to acquire a 49% stake in Scale. With the nearly $15 billion deal, Wang will take on a new role at Meta to lead AI strategy (Guo is no longer part of the company). But some believe this is the beginning of the end: One former Scale staffer says clients (which include Google and Open AI) will 'want to cut Scale off now' if it's half owned by Zuckerberg's empire. -This week, Under 30s made up a large chunk of AdAge's '23 rising voices reshaping marketing at Cannes Lions 2025.' They include Bita Jedo, global celebrity and influencer lead at Bumble; creator and brand consultant Robyn DelMonte, creator and podcast host Jake Shane, the brains behind Duolingo's social media strategy (and owl) Zaria Parvez, and more. -The internet erupted last week when Tesla CEO Elon Musk condemned the Trump Administration in a series of X posts with the One Big Beautiful Bill Act at the center of the controversy. The bill passed the House of Representatives last month, but is still awaiting action from the Senate. What does this news mean for student loan borrowers? The package could set borrowing limits and increase penalties for payments in default. (CNBC) -Looking to splurge before your next paycheck? Apparently so is everyone else. BNPL (buy now, pay later) services, allowing shoppers to pay for a product in installments, are becoming increasingly popular for Gen Z and Millennial consumers. Although companies like Afterpay and Klarna market the installments as interest-free loans, there is a growing number of users falling behind on payments. Remember to be mindful about your transactions. (PBS) -Google has dealt a crushing blow to top publishers—again. The integration of generative AI into their search engine models is depleting organic traffic to media sites worldwide. Google's AI Overviews and Gemini features, which offer quick and easy summaries of the top headlines and the most complex of searches, are rapidly replacing traditional search—and even social media's role as an alternate information source. Some media companies are fighting legal battles with AI startups for copyright infringement, arguing that the infiltration of click-free answers is a serious threat to what has become a modern business model for journalism.
