Transitional weather can be tricky. Linen is your best friend during these unpredictable times. It’s breathable, comfortable, and adapts easily. Here’s how you can master layering linen:

Reasons For Choosing Linen

• Linen is breathable and allows airflow around your body.

• Linen fabric responds and regulates to temperature changes.

• Linen becomes softer the more you wear it.

• Linen garments are sturdy.

• They are very easy to clean and stay fresh.

Layering Basics Begin layering with simple linen pieces you can work with:

• Base layer: A linen tank or t-shirt for your base layer.

• First layer: A light linen shirt or heavier linen blouse.

• Outer layer: A heavier jacket or sweater (any fabric).

Cool Mornings

• Linen tank for my base layer

• Light sweater or cardigan

• Denim jacket or blazer for added warmth

Warm Afternoons

• As it heats up, I take my first and outer layers off (denim jacket or blazer).

• The linen shirt or dress will always breathe with your body.

• I may weave a lightweight scarf for style and so I have protection for the sun if I need it!

Two Great Fabrics to Pair with Linen

• Wool for warmth

• Denim for durability and casual

• Leather for boldness and style

Quick Tips

• When layering your outfits, look to fabric that is easy to add and easy to remove.

• Stick with a neutral color palette to make it really easy to move from day-to-night!

• Play with texture (soft linen with heavy wool or heavy denim)

Examples

• Casual Comfort: Linen tank, wool sweater, denim jacket

• Fun and Edgy: Linen dress, leather jacket

• Classic and Timeless: Linen shirt + wool trousers

Caring for Your Linen Layers

• Wash gently in cold water.

• Air-dry to keep the fabric soft.

• Embrace natural wrinkles for an effortless look.
