Linen: eco-friendly and practical

On hot summer days, if you must leave the cool indoors, it’s best to do so in light clothing. Choose linen – the must-have fabric of the season.

This fabric is loved for its natural fibers that allow air to pass through. Wearing linen immediately transports your imagination to breezy coastal shores.

Linen shirts pair perfectly with silk and flowy skirts, shorts made from the same fabric or contrasting sturdy ones, jeans, and sundresses, over which a tied shirt can be worn.

Speaking of shorts, they just like trousers, form the foundation of summer outfits. Linen options are highly functional as they can either relax a look or make it businesslike. For the first option, choose shades of beige, white, and khaki. For the second one, stick to black and navy. A two-piece suit that includes a vest also speaks to functionality.

For feminine looks, sundresses are ideal, as there’s nothing better for hot weather. They work for both everyday outfits and relaxed vacation looks. Pair them with trendy heeled or flat flip-flops, clogs, ballet flats, or any other comfortable footwear of your choice.
