When summertime rolls around, you want to wear clothing that is stylish and breathable. This season, we're loving all things linen---linen shirts, and pants, and dresses. Not only are linen clothing items colourful and easy to style, but they're also super comfortable and fashionable. At La Redoute, we think it's important for fashion to be accessible, because you deserve to be able to express yourself. So, to get you excited about all the unique linen pieces we have this summer, we're going to go over a guide to linen style. You'll be a pro at styling linen by the end.
The basics: How to care for linen and style it
Before you secure a new wardrobe full of linen pieces, you need to know how to take care of the fabric. First, always remember to wash your white linens separately from your coloured linens. If you don't, your white linens...won't be white any more! Also, be sure to wash linen clothing items in cold water, and, if you're using a dryer, dry your linen clothing items on medium heat until they're damp.
Now, let's get into the fun part: how to style linen clothes. In the summer, you can never go wrong with an effortless, beachy vibe. Linen clothing items can help you achieve this aesthetic easily because they look carefree and summery at the same time. For example, you could wear a linen button up with leather flip-flops and Bermuda shorts for a sporty look.
Or, if you want to embrace a more feminine summer look, you could put on a long linen dress with chunky gold jewellery and platform sandals. You can't go wrong when it comes to styling linen because the clothing items speak for themselves.
