From perfectly rumpled shirts, to relaxed and refined jackets - our favourite Summer fabric is back
Linen has a natural, timeless beauty. It is versatile and can be worn in a super crisp, structured look. It holds its structure easily so iron it while damp for a more formal look. Our Hartford ,solid colour shirts will work with a summer suit or khakis. Or embrace the wrinkles for a more casual vibe with shorts and deck shoes.
Linen is often associated with a holiday wardrobe. Check out our Pinkhouse Mustique shirts for a vacation style. Inspired by the Caribbean island where the brand was born, with bright colours and tropical prints, these investment pieces have an elevated summer style. As it holds colour and washes well, getting softer with wear, a linen shirt is worth the price tag.
We have some great linen pieces for women too. Our Hartford shirts fit the lazy girl summer look for the office but will also look great thrown over a bikini top with a pair of shorts.
Mix things up as linen looks great with other textures like denim, twill or silk or work the mono linen look with a co-ord from Spanish brand Yerse.
And here is the techy bit about the benefits of wearing linen in warmer weather. Due to its weave and the natural properties of the flax plant, linen fabric is naturally breathable keeping you cooler in hot weather. Billowing away from the body, rather than clinging, linen is the perfect fabric to stay cool. Linen fabric is highly absorbent and will quickly remove moisture from the skin and quickly releases it back into the air. Due to its molecular structure linen cloth can absorb as much as 1/5 of its weight before it feels damp. As well as coolness and high absorbency, linen also boasts an innate ability to conduct heat. This means heat from your body can be conveyed through the fabric, escaping to keep you even cooler.
We are sure you’ll be enjoying your linen pieces for many summers to come.
The Aloft team.
