Linen dresses are the perfect companion for warm summer days: the natural material spun from flax fibers is breathable and has a cooling effect on the skin. The fiber also flatters the figure, because the fabric is antistatic, falls nicely and doesn’t stick to the body. No wonder that stars and influencers rely on linen dresses! These are now available in a wide variety of cuts and colors from boho chic to business suits. We reveal here which models you should buy this season.
The classic: white linen dresses
A linen dress all in white is not only a trend this season, but a timeless classic that can look elegant or casual depending on the styling. For example, a look with sandals or mules with small heels is suitable for the office. A leather bag and subtle jewelery go well with this. For a relaxed leisure look, however, you can combine the dress with a raffia bag and straw hat and round off the outfit with layered necklaces and colorful bracelets.
Summer feeling: brightly colored linen dresses
Whether it’s orange-red, bright green, azure blue or bright yellow: you’ll do everything right this season with colorful dresses. Wildly patterned dresses or dresses with a color blocking look are also eye-catchers. Extra plus: Bright colors show off summer-tanned skin even better.
Linen dress trend 2022: Long and wide dresses
They are elegant and yet casual: Wide-cut or long linen dresses are super comfortable to wear and flatter every figure. A waist belt creates a beautiful silhouette for oversized dresses. This is included with some dresses. Flat shoes, large sunglasses and thicker chains and bracelets can be combined well. Filigree jewelry is quickly lost in the oversized look.
Which shoes go with the linen dress?
With the choice of shoes you can give the look a casual or elegant touch. Sneakers give the look a sporty look and are a good choice even when the temperature is falling. Airy heeled sandals, sandals or mules are exactly the right footwear on hot days and make the look a little more chic. If you wear the linen dress to festive events, pumps, peep-toes or high-heeled sandals are ideal .
In terms of colour, you can opt for a harmonious combination so that the shoes do not distract too much from the dress. You can achieve a more extravagant look if you deliberately choose shoes in a contrasting color. For patterned dresses, we recommend choosing a shoe color that will be repeated throughout the dress so the overall look isn’t too chaotic.
washing linen clothes
You can easily wash natural linen at 60 degrees. Dyed linen, on the other hand, at a maximum of 40 degrees. In order not to roughen the fabric, you should use the gentle cycle or reduce the spin speed to a maximum of 600 revolutions per hour. A mild (delicate) detergentprotects the fibers additionally.
Attention: Do not put your linen dress in the dryer, because it could shrink there. It is better to hang it up to dry and iron the fabric when it is still slightly damp (ideally turned inside out). To avoid creases, linen clothes should be kept hanging in the closet.
