Linen is no longer the last taboo of winter dressing | melly_singer

the look as a lesson in post-baby style, "a nod to her past self and this new one" as a mother.

The fact we're talking a heck of a lot about linen in the depths of our winter made we wonder: is there a right and wrong time to wear linen? Is it one of the last fashion rules we adhere to, even when global warming is throwing our wardrobes out of whack and we're reaching for our beanies as often as our bikinis in January?As a fabric, linen has always copped a bad rap: too expensive, too crushable, too ... private school girls and boys go to the family beach house.

Sean Venturi, from Sydney-based brand Venroy, says linen isn't only a fashionable choice for winter, it's also"For the cold, it’s nice to wear a darker, rich colour palette but also layering with other textures can complete a look," he says. Venturi suggests layering a merino or cashmere knit under a linen boiler suit, while I am a big fan of the brand's utility pants, paired back with a chunky knit and slip-on loafers. And if you really feel the cold, there's no rule against slipping a pair of bike shorts or leggings under your linen bottoms .Sportsgirl's trend forecaster, Tully Walter, says think of linen more like cotton or denim than a "summery" fabric – like cheesecloth.

This translates to a more "slouchy" take on utility dressing than "overly structured cuts" that were a key part of 2017's military trend .By that she means culottes that worn now with a shearling-lined denim jacket, and a denim shirt layered over a tank later. Or a button-through skirt – swap heavier cowboy boots to white trainers when the weather turns nice. It's mid-July, spring is only six weeks away. Hang in there.
