At last, it feels like Spring has sprung. Whilst gardens and parks are behind with their blooms on account of the long, cold winter, we at LinenMe are primed and ready with lots of luscious linen clothes for the new season.
As you know, linen makes the perfect choice for warmer weather thanks to its temperature-regulating properties, its ability to wick moisture away from your body and its lightweight feel. So, whether you are looking to refresh your wardrobe for Spring, are setting off on holiday soon and need some beautiful yet practical clothes, or are hunting for one special piece that you can wear with anything in any weather, here's our Spring linen clothes edit.
Linen shirt dress
An absolute workhorse in the best possible way, our melange weave linen shirt dress is one of those garments you will wear on repeat. Layered under a cardigan if the weather is chilly, or worn alone with some strappy sandals, this shirt dress is cut to be flattering yet easy to wear (see here for more on why we love a linen shirt dress). It is a great length for those of us who like to keep things slightly longer but also want to feel youthful and elegant. Drapey, soft and simple, this is one thing not to miss out on this Spring.
Linen maxi dress
This is such a beautiful, versatile dress. You can wear it on a city break exploring somewhere new, or for slow days at home browsing weekend markets, or over a swimsuit for a beach and poolside cover-up. Long and floaty, this dress is tailored to fit closely yet comfortably so you can waft gracefully around without it feeling too bulky. This will be your new summer BF. Available in indigo and white.
Aqua linen dress
With its asymmetric hem, easy silhouette and stunning details like the charming cinched pleat in the back and the flattering wide sleeves, this little dress is a beauty. The colour is fresh and joyful without being too much, and the looseness of the cut makes it super comfy to wear. In Spring, when the weather can still be a bit cool, wear with tights or leggings. Then keep on wearing all through summer with bare legs and the confidence that comes with wearing something well made and classically simple. The ultimate in not-trying-too-hard, effortless chic.
Linen blazer
When there's still a nip in the air it's handy to have something you can throw over your outfit but that is easy to carry around if you need to take it off when things warm up. Our Toby linen jacket is great for work, worn over a floral dress or silk shirt, or for casual days thrown on with a t-shirt and pair of jeans. It will lift any outfit and give you a polished but relaxed look. The natural crinkles are part of the charm of linen clothes, so you can bundle this blazer into your tote if you need to take it off, rather than lugging around a more bulky jacket.
Flippy midi linen skirt
Green dresses are huge this Spring, and our cute midi skirt is a lovely nod to this trend without going full-on green from head to toe. It's tailored to be fitted at the top and flippy at the bottom, sitting flatteringly on your waist and skimming your knees for a comfortable length. Neat yet interesting, smart yet cute, this is a great investment for Spring/ Summer 2018 and beyond.
