Living in Linen
It doesn’t get easier or breezier than linen. Lightweight and breathable with a distinct texture, linen has been a human wardrobe staple for millennia—its rich history can be traced back as far as 36,000 years. Just as enduring in our closets, linen has an heirloom quality that holds its shape beautifully and gets ever softer with each wash. In short, it’s a TIME-tested textile.
When designing SS24, we knew it was TIME to incorporate linen into our collection of minimalist essentials. After much research, we selected a premium European linen that performs exceptionally all year round, remaining cool to the touch with a naturally wrinkled look. Let’s explore how you might style our newest fabric...
Summer Style? No Sweat.
An all-natural textile spun from the flax plant’s fibers, linen has remarkable cooling and moisture-wicking properties that never leave you feeling hot and bothered in warmer temps.
A good pair of linen slacks can really change the mood in a woman's closet. Take our Runa Pants, a sophisticated, high-waist cut with textured edge that feels like a breath of fresh air on your skin. Style Runa with a fitted top to balance her wide-leg volume for casual and cocktail looks alike.
Linen Layers for Days
Though linen is a quintessentially warm-weather fabric, you don’t have to tuck it away when colder temps come rolling in. Layer your linen pieces with other thicker fabrics to keep warm and create rich tonal stories with your look.
One light linen jacket that spans across seasons? Our Linden Blazer. Clean, crisp and exceptionally tailored, this light linen jacket strikes the perfect balance between relaxed and structured.
Sustainability with Modern Fabrics
If, like us, curating an earth-loving wardrobe is high on your priority list, linen clothing is one of the best wardrobe investments you can make in terms of environmental sustainability. Growing the flax plant in and of itself is an energy-efficient process, requiring minimal water, pesticides and fertilizers. And, because flax plant fibers are so enduring, your linen garments will last forever and a day (and even longer when you dry clean them!), reducing consumption and generating less textile waste, overall.
Eco-conscious modernism is top of mind for our linen McKinley Top, an airy tank perfect for showing your skin some love in the sun or styled as a base layer if temps are less than balmy. Style her with our linen Kingsbridge Shorts to experience a vacation-quality level of stylish ease.
If you fancy tailored casual dressing, by contrast, turn to our linen Tabitha Dress—a versatile, belted wrap design with a customizable fit that’s bound to make a regular appearance in your work-to-weekend rotation.
Yes, the benefits of linen are endless – for you and for our team. With Marcella taking utmost pride in making "slow fashion," the introduction of linen furthers our brand’s commitment to sustainability and with it, we’re excited to offer you new opportunities to style high-end, utilitarian clothing that (literally) makes you feel good in your skin.
Now, that’s our kind of minimalism. Stay cool.
