How to Style Linen Clothing for Summer

White Grey Dark Blue Light Professional General News YouTube Banner (1)

As the days grow longer and temperatures rise, dressing for summer becomes an art of balancing comfort and style. The key to achieving this effortless summer look lies in one wonder fabric: linen.
 
Linen is a light, breathable fabric that’s easy to care for and perfect for layering. Its versatility allows it to be both smooth and tailored for a linen top, or loose-fitting and relaxed for an informal dress or tunic. This makes linen the ideal fabric for summer, offering both comfort and elegance on even the hottest days.

Let's start with one of the most versatile pieces in the linen collection – the Alison linen tunic. It can be styled like a long top or an informal summer shirt, making it a fresh, easy, and a laid-back option. The colourful Alison tunic over jeans or shorts is an informal and practical style. Whether your jeans are indigo blue, faded blue or white, the Alison kiwi tunic always looks easy-going and relaxed. You can layer it over a vest or wear it under a long jacket if the weather is being typically British and wet, or on its own when the sunshine finally comes out.

On warmer days, pair the look with white trainers or sandals. The shorts and tunic combination also works well with low or high heels, depending on your preference. Finish the outfit with accessories like beads, a necklace, a few bangles, and a bag from our Jaipur range, and you'll be ready to face the world.

If you like a splash of colour, the Alison kiwi tunic is a perfect choice, reminiscent of the springtime sky. The Alison soft navy tunic is perfectly paired with shorts or white jeans, so you don't have to shift your wardrobe around too much through the seasons. Avoid light blue jeans to prevent a "double denim" look, although the different fabrics help mitigate this. Pairing a navy tunic with white jeans creates a sleek, elegant look. Heels, flat shoes, or trainers complement this outfit, achieving a casual but stylish appearance. The three-quarter length sleeves are perfect for showcasing your favourite bracelets, especially those in red or rose gold, adding a touch of glamour without sacrificing a relaxed feel.

Moving onto our linen tops, the Ursy linen top, available in white, navy, and shell pink, is a versatile addition to your summer wardrobe. Paired with our new linen wide-leg trousers, featuring an elasticated waist and deep pockets, it offers both style and comfort. For a fresh, effortless look, the white Ursy top works beautifully with navy or pastel-coloured trousers. The combination of a crisp white top and flowing trousers creates a relaxed yet polished appearance. Complete the outfit with white trainers or flat sandals and add delicate accessories like a necklace or bangles for a touch of elegance.

For those who love a splash of colour, the Ursy top in shell pink pairs wonderfully with white linen trousers. This pastel ensemble is both chic and comfortable, perfect for summer. Nude or metallic footwear keeps the focus on the soft colours, while rose gold jewellery enhances the delicate pink shade of the top. The shell pink Ursy top and light trousers create a cohesive, summer-ready outfit that's easy to wear and stylish.

The navy Ursy top offers a more impactful look suitable for various occasions. Pair it with a range of trousers, from classic white to bold pastel pink shades. For a sophisticated ensemble, try the navy top with light white linen wide-leg trousers. The contrast between the dark top and lighter trousers creates a balanced, stylish look. Dark-coloured trainers or sandals complement the outfit, and silver jewellery adds a touch of glamour. Each Ursy top, whether in white, shell pink, or navy, ensures you stay chic and comfortable throughout the season.

There's nothing quite like the free, eye-catching look of a beautiful linen dress. It embodies the arrival of summer and ensures you'll enjoy every minute of it. Whether meeting friends for coffee, heading to a bar in the evening, or lounging around at home and contemplating your garden, a linen dress always feels appropriate.

Starting with the most basic colour – white. A white linen dress captures the essence of summertime with its bright, flowing beauty. Keep it minimal with a pair of trainers, espadrilles, sandals, or flipflops. For the coolest summer vibe, bare legs are ideal. The simplicity of a white Celine linen dress pairs well with more pronounced accessories, such as chunky beads, wide bangles, or a light scarf. Don’t forget a pair of sunglasses for that chic French Riviera look.

Linen dresses are a summer staple, offering a blend of style, comfort, and practicality. With their variety of colours, pockets, button details, and stylish ricrac, they are perfect for any occasion, from casual outings to more polished events. For those who prefer colour, our linen dresses come in a variety of stunning shades like pistachio (Celine), navy (Camille), or shell pink (Elodie). Choose the colour that complements your skin tone, and you're set.

Linen's timeless appeal lies in its blend of comfort, durability, and natural elegance. At Luella, our new linen arrivals are designed to bring these qualities to your wardrobe, offering versatile and stylish options for every occasion. Linen has texture and a depth to its fibres that is very popular right now. It gets better with use — becoming softer and silkier over time. Overall, we think linen has effortless elegance, beautiful crispness and drape and shines in all its glory. Explore our collection today and discover the enduring charm of linen for yourself.
