Look good, feel great, and make summer styling a breeze
Lightweight and versatile, linen is a summer wardrobe saviour. Whether you’ve got a wedding in the diary or just want to keep cool in the office, it’s the perfect fabric choice, thanks to the natural fibres allowing air to flow and wicking moisture away from your skin. Read on for our picks and styling tips for the season.
For weddings
There’s so much to love about a matching linen suit set, not least the fact you look instantly pulled together and stand out from the crowd of traditional wedding-guest dresses. Pick a versatile hue: soft pistachio green, for example, goes with brown, black and white shoes.
For work
Linen dresses can suit every office dress code. New-season styles are smart, not stiff, and promise to balance comfort and style. Meanwhile, a handmade woven leather Dragon Diffusion tote bag to carry your laptop is optional, but encouraged.
For the weekend
A linen shirt is a wardrobe staple. Update it for the season choosing an on-trend ‘butter’ or light yellow tone; a more practical colour than you might think, it goes well with neutrals such as white, beige and cream, as well as earthy browns.
For holidays
Linen jumpsuits and summer go hand-in-hand. The one-piece offers minimal effort and maximum elegance, and can be easily dressed up or down. Pair with brown flat sandals for daytime and slip on heeled mules for the evening.
