Linen is the ultimate summer fabric! Linen is woven from natural flax and acts like a natural air conditioner for your skin. Linen is so breathable because of its hollow fibers and loose weave allowing that extra summer body heat to escape while wicking sweat instantly. Billowy, beautiful, breathable and hypoallergenic, naturally odor-resistant, linen is my favorite choice for clothes and sheets this time of year. It’s celebrated as the ultimate sophisticated summer luxury even with its signature relaxed rumples and wrinkles. Are we wearing linen this summer, if not why?
I love linen. I wear linen pants as my house clothes every day, they’re so comfy and they keep getting softer with each wash. I have been buying it in thrift stores whenever I find it for years but unfortunately a lot of it has gone into a “project pile” to be altered in some way and I haven’t gotten around to it.
