Why choose linen?
When comes summer we all look for some fabrics that allow us to sweat less and for our skin to breathe more. Needless to say, I love linen dresses for exactly these qualities. Linen fabric is breathable and cool when it is warm outside but the strong flax fibers make it durable and wind ready. I also think that linen has such a nice fall and weight that it just feels expensive and luxurious no matter the design. My mom always says that linen is perfect for hot summer days because it is very absorbent and dries faster than cotton. I’ve also experienced that It is lint-free and resists dirt and stains quite well. These qualities make linen relatively easy to take care of and comfortable to wear. Linen clothes are also one of the best choices for those summer days when you feel like dressing something a little bit warmer.
Linen is that kind of fabric that truly looks good on every body type. Not only this fabric is good to wear in humid, sticky weather conditions, but also a lot of brands are increasingly making gorgeous design summer dresses that are easy to put on, easy to wear and look good in. And we all know that linen can do triple duty – it’s versatile enough for everyday wear, office, and travel.
Where to shop for linen clothes
So for this summer I already have picked up a few items to add to my wardrobe. I’ve got a gorgeous long sleeve white dress and a balloon shaped coat from @linennaive. As I live in England, I am prepared to all sorts of weather. And we all know that in England weather can be moody even if it’s summer 🙂 Me and my boyfriend went for a walk to the forrest the other day and after an hour it started raining cats and dogs. I was thankful that I grabbed my @linennaive jacket at that time so I didn’t have to shiver from cold. I want to talk about this brand a little bit more because it is my favourite place to pick linen clothes from.
What I love about @linennaive is that they have so many gorgeous designs to choose from. I picked up my white dress because I fell in love with the cute little buttons in the front, big pockets, and beautiful frill around the waist. These details make the dress noticeable and stand out. I paired it with my iridescent color boots for a more extravagant look. This white dress goes well with gold jewelry and I also would style it with a belt.
The linen checker jacket is so lightweight you almost don’t feel that you are wearing it. It is perfect for colder summer days when it’s chilly and raining. I love that it has this amazing balloon shape and goes quite wide at the bottom, but also I appreciate the high collar which saved me from the wind while walking in the forest. Big wooden buttons and spacious cool cut pockets make it a complete fashion item. I would also wear it with jeans and high heels the next time I am going out. What is your favorite linen item to wear in summer?
