Why Linen is the Perfect Fabric for Your Transeasonal Wardrobe

Weave it in this Spring!

If weโ€™ve learnt anything this Fashion Month, itโ€™s that linen is back and itโ€™s here to stay! From a-line sundresses to streamlined suits, designers just canโ€™t seem to get enough of this age-old fabric..

Sported by the likes of Cleopatra and Audrey Hepburn, this fabric has been a go-to for centuries on end. Produced from the fibers of the flax plant, it is not only a fashion-forward choice, but its use also helps to minimize textile waste. 

Linen was a clear centerpiece of Rejina Pyoโ€™s Spring/Summer 2020 collection. Her runway show featured a range of linen pieces, ranging from fluoro plaid suits to printed Bermuda shorts. Among this seasonโ€™s other linen-loving designers were fashion moguls Tommy Hilfiger, Miuccia Prada and Gabriela Hearst.

See below what pieces weโ€™ve got on our shopping lists this Springโ€ฆ

From smart skirts to button-up frocks to chic blazers, these versatile linen pieces will take you from work to the weekend and beyond. Itโ€™s safe to say that these breezy boho fabrics are no longer reserved for scorching summer days!
