Linen: A Natural Summer Go-To
Can you believe that the Atronomical first day of Summer is THIS Sunday?! WOW!
Many of us, especially those in the Southern parts of the country, are finagling how to keep cool.
Luckily, it only take a few pieces to repeat. When they’re a classic style, that you know works for your frame, personality, and the practicalities of your daily life… it really does just make things easier.
And while they’re are a few natural fabrics that do this, today… let’s talk about the oh-so-chic…
LINEN!
So let’s break it down to Five Reasons Why linen is just an EXCEPTIONAL choice for the summer.
Linen is a moisture wicking fabric. If you want to avoid feeling like a swamp, say hello to your new best friend.
You get the benefit of the polyester sport fabrics without the lingering smell! (Again, I apologize for having to talk about smell, but are we not all thinking of it?) Next time you wear polyester, grab a whiff before that poly goes into the wash…
Boy is it breathable! Breathe baby breathe! After spending the past few summers in France, this is what you want when your environment isn’t so AC-friendly. If you’re new here, let me share with you my favorites: Provence Inspiration, 7 Lessons from Provence, Rue de Bac Hack
You can keep it simple! Linen is so elegant in white! This means, it’s super easy to match and there’s almost no thought to making up an outfit with it (and great for packing too!).
Finally, the big one- these new linen blends do NOT wrinkle as easily. I say this to every person I recommend linen as a summer style choice to, because this is a solid rebuttal. Fashion brands know women don’t like ironing! So the new linen blends out there are fabulous and stress-free.
So now, let’s shop!!!
