HOW TO WEAR SUMMER LINEN

No fabric defines the look and feel of summer quite like linen. Fresh, breezy and cool, it’s the material of both hot, sunny days and sultry summer nights; of getaways to faraway places and also of family cottages on the shore. This season, the versatile fabric has a new style point of view through four timeless linen pieces that blend the classic with the contemporary.
Nº 1

THE SUIT

An entire office wardrobe for summer could be built around the linen suit, mixing and matching its jacket and pants to accommodate various dress codes. This season’s version follows a classic silhouette (a simple one-button jacket and relaxed straight trousers) but looks best with creative accessories, such as burnished leather gladiator sandals and a Polo ID bag in raffia.

THE DRESS

Most white linen dresses are styled with a belted waist, earrings, heels and a clutch. Give the classic garment an unexpected twist by wearing it as a top, with a few buttons secured to splay out at the bottom. Matching white linen drawstring pants with a statement belt, strappy sandals, and other accessories in caramel-hued leather and textured raffia keep the look pulled together.

THE SHIRT

As essential as a swimsuit, the linen shirt can be worn in countless ways for summer. Upgrade the nautical stripes look this season by layering the pattern (one horizontal in a tee, the other vertical in a classic blue-and-white linen button-down) and adding a sporty short, high-top Pony ballerina sneakers, a Polo Play bag and a cable-knit V-neck sweater, tied around the waist.

THE SHORT

Linen shorts are undoubtedly the most comfortable form of the contested summer garment, and this season’s version is no exception. Subtle pleating, cuffs, and a relaxed, fluted shape give the shorts a versatility to dress up or down. Swap out the built-in belt for a thick leather version in braided vachetta, add plimsoll sneakers, a raffia hat, and a tote for a go-to travel outfit.
