As the warm days of summer give way to the cooler breezes of autumn, it’s the perfect time to embrace the versatility of linen. This natural fabric is ideal for creating stylish, layered looks that carry you through the changing seasons. Whether you're heading back to school, updating your work wardrobe, or looking for casual weekend outfits, here’s how to style linen for the perfect transition from summer to autumn, featuring pieces from our latest collections, de la Terre and Affirmations.
Back-to-School Cool: Effortless and Chic
The back-to-school season calls for outfits that are both stylish and comfortable. Linen is perfect for this, offering easy-to-wear options that can be effortlessly styled. Our de la Terre collection includes fashionable striped shirts and blouses that pair perfectly with high-waisted jeans or pleated skirts. Add a lightweight cardigan for those chilly mornings, and you have a look that’s both sophisticated and practical.
Pro Tip: Choose pieces in rich, autumnal hues like Tobacco, Ivory, Fern, and Twilight to seamlessly blend with the season's palette.
Mastering the Art of Layering with Affirmations
Layering is key when transitioning from the warmth of summer to the crispness of autumn. The Affirmations collection, with its unisex designs and muted fall tones, offers plenty of layering potential. Start with a linen tank or tee and build your outfit with cozy knits or the collection's standout barn coat. A linen blouse under a chunky knit sweater or a linen dress layered with a denim jacket creates a balanced and visually interesting look.
Pro Tip: Play with textures by combining linen with wool, cotton, or denim to add depth and dimension to your outfits.
Comfort and Style for Autumn Weather
Linen's natural texture makes it a great choice for the unpredictable autumn weather. Our de la Terre collection features pieces with rich textures that provide a cozy, sweatery vibe. Pair a textured linen top with a soft cashmere sweater for a combination that keeps you warm without overheating. For bottoms, relaxed-fit linen trousers from the Affirmations collection, with their multiple pockets, can be paired with ankle boots and a cozy cardigan for a polished yet comfortable ensemble.
Pro Tip: Opt for shaped, not fitted, linen pieces to maintain a sophisticated yet relaxed look. Comfort is key, so focus on garments that offer ease of movement and a laid-back vibe.
Versatility: From Day to Night
Linen’s versatility allows it to transition seamlessly from day to night. A linen shirtdress from de la Terre can be worn with sandals during the day and easily dressed up with heeled boots and a statement necklace for the evening. Linen skirts paired with a simple tee can be transformed with a leather jacket and bold accessories for a night out.
Pro Tip: Keep a few key linen pieces in your wardrobe that can be easily styled up or down, such as a linen blazer, a midi skirt, or a classic white shirt.
Final Thoughts
Transitioning your wardrobe from summer to autumn doesn’t have to be daunting. With linen’s natural properties and timeless appeal, you can create stylish, layered looks that are both functional and fashionable. Embrace the versatility and effortless chic of linen to stay comfortable and stylish all season long.
Our de la Terre collection, with its fashionable stripes, autumnal hues, and rich textures, offers the perfect pieces for creating that cozy, sweatery vibe.
