Thoughts on pure Linen vs Linen blends?
Heyo I was looking into summer clothes (not craving anything in particular) and I can't find pure Linen anywhere but 50% Linen blends are very common, particularly with viscose and cotton (I assume its tropical cotton). Thoughts on them?

pure linen is lovely, crisp, and cooling, but also super wrinkly. Linen cotton ime is softer to the touch and less wrinkly and also less cooling. I don't have experience with viscose blends but it doesn't sound terrible. Do you have specific brands you're looking at?
Forgot to say I'm from Brazil
I was looking at department brands and just gathering info for thrifting as well
Where I live it rarely gets hot enough for linen and I have still found a decent amount thrifting

pure viscose (and rayon) is pretty nice in the heat too
I've had bad luck so far.
I never see anyone wearing linen or rayon, it's always a polo or a tropical cotton tshirt or a soccer tshirt or a tank top. So I guess it's what tickles down.
Blends are just fine. Infact in a lot of ways, cotton linen is better than all cotton.
As for viscose, it is good too, makes the shirt a little more smoother and brighter.
