There’s something about linen that just feels like summer. Maybe it’s the cool, breezy feeling you get when you touch it or the way it almost seems to repel humidity – the perfect material to wear in a country like Singapore. Whatever it is, we adore it – which is why we are dedicating this blog post to three ways you can style your linen tops in Singapore!
1. It’s all about layering
This first outfit idea for styling your linen top is all about layering. Blazers or cardigans, for instance, are a great way to add texture and interest to a simple outfit like this linen top. Take it one step further by choosing those with attractive patterns or bright colours, as they’re an excellent way to add visual interest while showcasing your personality.
If you’re unsure which outerwear to choose, opt for a lightweight one. A pair of culottes, as seen above, or light wash jeans are a perfect choice for your bottom piece. They’re loose but not too loose, which is precisely what you want for a casual and relaxed fit. Add a classic pair of white sneakers, and you’re ready to go!
2. The 90s is back
Many people have been trying to bring the 90s look back into fashion for the past year or so, and it’s finally here. The typical 90s fashion trend is all about loose-fitting clothes. Wearing a linen shirt with a loose linen top underneath (or on its own) is a minimalistic way to bring this cult classic look back while staying relaxed and comfortable. After all, the 90s is all about looking effortless and chic.
Loose-fitting clothes are not only easy to wear but also very flattering to most body types. This makes them suitable for both men and women, regardless of size. Another significant factor about 90s-inspired fashion is that it’s incredibly versatile. You can incorporate it into almost any type of look. Wear your loose-fitting shirt with skinnies or sweatpants for a relaxed, comfortable look. Or pair it with slim jeans for a dressier look.
3. Basics don’t mean any colour
If you’re into the idea of colour-blocking but want to try it with a linen top, go for a coloured short-sleeved top like this one. You can then add a contrasting outer layer like the romper (as seen above) or pair it with shorts to create a colour-blocking outfit. Finish the ensemble with white sandals, and you’re set to go!
If you’re still unsure where to begin, we suggest breaking down your outfit by colour. For example, if you’re wearing an all-black outfit, add one piece in a different colour to create a colour-blocked look.
While colour-blocking is a great way to add interest and depth to your outfits, it doesn’t have to be complicated. You don’t have to limit yourself to only one colour at a time. Instead, feel free to mix and match different shades of the same colour. It’s all about experimenting with different shades and learning what works best for you.
Conclusion
Linen is a wonderful fabric that is simple to care for, comfortable to wear, and always looks great. Because of its versatility, it’s often a wardrobe staple to many. However, knowing how to dress your linen top to reflect your personal style is equally crucial. Make sure to incorporate these outfit ideas when styling your linen clothes to best express your style. Once you’ve mastered the art of styling your linen pieces, you’ll never have to worry about what to wear again!
