There’s nothing more stereotypical, than wearing linen in the summer. It’s honestly the perfect fabric for those hot, humid days and nights. It’s made of natural fibres, breathable, and while it crinkles it’s often the perfect thing for a more relaxed attire.
Linens have been more abundant than usual on the high street these last two summers; in part by Jacquemus’ revolutionary treatment of the fabric and his subsequent spring/summer 2020 and 2021 collections. He’s shown us that it can be worn in more formal settings, it’s perfect for partywear, also works in the winter and doesn’t have to just be a neutral shade.
But while bright linens is another love of mine, I wanted to focus on the natural shades for this shoot. I loved the easy elegance of beige and neutral tones, in often all-linen outfits and to stop it being boring I added pops of colour through rainbow eyeshadow and bright square heels. It was just another way to incorporate my two favourite designer brands; Jacquemus and Bottega Veneta.
Here are four different outfits for you to enjoy and get some fashion inspiration. I’ve a mixture of high and low brands, and where possible tried to find more affordable options for those who don’t regularly shop at Net-a-Porter.
