Essential summer fashion accessory for editors: a stylish linen gown.
Summer is here, and it's time to update your wardrobe with a fabric that offers unparalleled comfort and style - linen. This natural fiber, crafted from flax plants, has become a staple in the wardrobes of the world's chicest women.
Linen's hollow fiber structure allows for superior breathability and air circulation, keeping you cool and airy even in the hottest weather. It absorbs less sweat and transfers moisture away from the skin, ensuring faster drying and maintaining freshness throughout the day. These properties make linen an excellent choice for the summer months[1][2][4][5].
The lightweight and loose weave of linen fabric prevent heat buildup, allowing air to flow freely. This makes it an ideal choice for hot climates, contributing to overall cooling comfort[1]. Moreover, linen is versatile for fashion, suitable for both casual and professional attire. Although it wrinkles easily, many appreciate this as part of its relaxed and natural look[3][5].
Today's linen dresses come in a variety of colours, playful prints, and patterns. Zalando still has several sizes of a sand-hued Tove dress in stock, while SIR The Label offers a 100% linen frock that is a standout choice for dresses[6][7]. For those who prefer a boho aesthetic, a 100% linen long-sleeve mini style can be a perfect fit[8].
Cos has created a chic everyday dress using a lightweight fabric made from a blend of viscose and linen. Rixo offers a linen-viscose blend dress that is lightweight and easy to care for[9][10]. For a formal choice, a floral print strapless linen dress can potentially win best dressed at a wedding[11].
Fashion editor Clementina Jackson of our website has added multiple With Nothing Underneath linen dresses to her summer collection. Johanna Ortiz offers striking linen dress designs, while Tove offers a minimalist fashion favorite - a strapless column linen dress[12][13].
The avocado hue has returned in the form of a sleek cut-out mini dress at Reformation. A printed mini linen dress can be styled with flip flops or silver heels, demonstrating its versatility[14]. Some believe that linen has a higher frequency than the human body, which could boost energy levels and reduce stress[15].
In summary, the key benefits of linen in summer are: - Superior breathability and air circulation due to hollow fibers and loose weave - Effective moisture-wicking and quick drying properties that prevent clamminess - Lightweight feel that contributes to overall cooling comfort - Versatility and natural texture suitable for various summer activities and styles[1][2][3][4][5].
So, why not embrace the summer breeze and give linen a try? Your wardrobe, and your comfort, will thank you.
