It is may! Which means it is finally time to break out the warmer weather staples that we have missed for the last six months or so. Specifically, linen. Linen is such a summer staple because it is highly breathable, it is very absorbent, and because of its resilience and longevity. Not to mention it is the most ecological fiber that exists. It requires very little water and little to no pesticides. While it may be prone to wrinkles, we are helping to ensure that you survive the wrinkles by, giving you five chic and practical ways to wear linen this summer.

Pants & Joggers

A pair of linen pants or joggers are a classic way to wear linen. Whether your style is more on the casual side, with a pair of linen joggers adhering to the sporting trend or keeping it laid back, comfort may be key but can always be stylish. For a flirtier feel, wide-leg linen pants always accentuate our best selves while allowing our outfits to be both flattering and classy. 

Button-downs & T-Shirt

A linen shirt is an excellent all-rounder when it comes to summer dressing. Whether it is a classic t-shirt or chic button-down, we can wear it with jeans or shorts either during the day or at night. Linen actually tends to become softer and shinier with each wash too, whereas cotton does the opposite. Flax fibers have the benefit of not stretching and are resistant to damage caused by abrasion. So, if you have not already, you should definitely invest in a linen top!

Dresses

Dresses are one of the most popular items to wear during the summertime. Linen dresses specifically have been seen everywhere over the last couple of summers. They come in all different lengths and have the ability to be versatile whether you’re at the beach or a casual wedding. A big thing with linen dresses is the statement buttons that are usually on them, it is such a cute way to level up a simple dress.

Jumpsuits & Rompers

Jumpsuits and rompers are, without a doubt, a statement style. The head-to-toe, all-in-one garment creates a striking look that moves beyond a simple dress or pants and top combo, and into more fashionable territories. Once the warm weather rolls around it is almost impossible not to find a linen one!

Blazers

Blazers are always iconic, replacing the conventional with a linen blazer creates a staple. In order to keep it light and breezy for a possible business casual occasion, a linen blazer is an optimal choice. You can go oversized or fitted, pair it with matching linen shorts or break it up and go for a cotton-linen blend pair of pants.
