How to Transition to Spring with Linen

Spring Transitional Tip:  

You can combine linen with silk, summer cashmere or even suede.

~ Note:  All mention of suede refers to faux suede in order to be kind to animals~

Today’s style tip is thanks to the blog post “Summer, Sun, Linen” by Bibi Horst at schokoladenjahre.com. I thought it was a really good way to start wearing my linen pieces earlier on and get more variety from them. I hope this is helpful to you as well!

Wear Linen With Summer Cashmere

Summer cashmere is one-ply instead of two or three-ply.  There are featherweight cashmere T-shirts, tank tops, and scarves.  They are perfect layering pieces for spring.

Summer cashmere or lightweight cashmere can be found at high-end fashion boutiques, but you can also find them at mid-point stores such as J.Crew.

1. A cashmere wrap over a linen dress.
2. Layer a cashmere cardigan over a linen top + linen or silk pants.
3. Pair a cashmere sweater with linen pants.

Wear Linen With Silk

Silk is cool in the Summer but it is also a wonderfully warm layer, so it’s a great transitional piece.

1. A linen cardigan + a silk dress, top or skirt.
2. Pair a linen shirt with a silk skirt or pants.
3. Conversely, choose a silk shirt or blouse to go with a linen skirt or pants. For more warmth, you might layer a topper over.
4. A silk kimono + a shell top + linen pants.
5. Wear a linen jacket or blazer over silk pants, skirts or dresses.

Wear Linen With Faux Suede

1. A faux suede jacket over a linen tunic or shirt or tank + pants or jeans.
2. Add a faux suede vest over a linen top & pants or jeans.
3. Pair a linen shirt or other linen top with a faux suede skirt or pants.
4. Wear a linen jacket or blazer with a faux suede skirt or pants.
