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... Actually have no linen clothes, but those photos look so breathable and comfy. Maybe that's something I should get some of this summer.
Just need to find some at op shops to align with what I've been sticking to for the last 4 years: No brand new clothes except undies and socks.
Is it easy to care for as well? Throw it in the laundry machine on cold, hang it outside in the sun to dry?
You can wash it normally and tumble dry it even, it’s very sturdy. The more you wash it the softer it gets but it doesn’t lose any of its properties. I gave in and bought linen sheets last summer and it was transformative for my hot weather sleeping
It SHOULD be sturdier, but unfortunately linen processed on cotton machinery often fails earlier than it should, which is the majority of linen you would find in cheaper/fast fashion clothes. That doesn't make it a fragile fabric but it does mean it will wear out before normal linens would
