Why Linen Is Essential To Your Spring & Summer Wardrobe
Plus, our favourite linen pieces from our Spring collection to keep you cool and comfortable this season.
As warmer weather is in our midst in Australia - we’ve been breaking out our favorite linen pieces and remembering why linen is what we reach for in the warmer months. Among the best choices for Spring and Summer, linen clothing stands out for its unique blend of elegance and practicality.
Why Choose Linen?
Linen is a natural fiber derived from the flax plant, celebrated for its lightweight and breathable qualities. It absorbs moisture quickly, making it perfect for hot, humid days. Additionally, linen's distinctive texture and drape add a touch of effortless sophistication to any outfit.
Caring For Your Linen Clothing
Linen is known for its durability, but proper care will extend the life of your garments:
- Washing: Gentle, hand wash with cold water. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach, which can weaken the fibers.
- Drying: Air drying is best for linen. If using a dryer, opt for a low heat setting to prevent shrinkage.
- Ironing: Linen looks best with a slightly wrinkled texture, but if you prefer a crisp look, we suggest steaming your garment.
To help you start curating your warm weather wardrobe, we have put together a list of key linen pieces from our Spring collection.
