Look good, feel great, and make styling a breeze

Lightweight and versatile, linen is a warm-weather 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 as its natural fibres allow air to flow, 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 this pulled-together look stands out in a crowd of traditional wedding-guest dresses. Pick a versatile hue: a soft blue, 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.
