Ah, summer. There’s so much to love about this happy weather. The bright sunshine that warms you to your core and the fresh, cool breeze at night which offers a respite from the heat, we adore all these aspects of summer and many more as well.
If you’re like us and have the privilege to live in a tropical paradise, then you probably are already well-prepared for upcoming months of heat. With the temperatures rising steadily, this is the best time to prep your wardrobe for the upcoming months of intense-heat. And this is where our favorite summer fabric comes into play.
Linen is a natural fabric that is known for its lightweight nature. It’s actually one of the oldest textiles, dating back almost 10,000 years! Although today the fabric is most commonly associated with expensive, high-end clothing, there was a time where it was an everyday staple in the wardrobe of the common man and woman. Our ancestors wore it to keep cool while farming under the sun for hours on end.
Made from the cellulose fibers of the inner bark of the flax plant, linen has been the summer staple for many generations. Even today, people who live in hot, humid areas tend to lean towards this plant-based textile. Linen also has the stamp of approval from sustainable fashion enthusiasts and advocates.
All in all, this lightweight, breathable and mostly sweat-resistant fabric is perfect for the summer. If you need more convincing, then simply let our selection of the most stylish linen pieces make a case for it.
