Linen is essential for the hot summers here in California, even cotton is too hot when it’s 40C+. I now have enough linen pieces to cover me for the hot months, then I wash them as they get soiled. I think I have about four each of linen dresses, skirts and trousers and about twice that number of linen tops. In the cooler weather I iron them all well and store them, covered, on hangers for the next summer. It’s far too hot to do much ironing in my tiny, hot laundry area in the summer. I rather like ironing, but I hate getting overheated when I do it. I won’t wear linen that I haven’t ironed, it never looks or feels good without it, it needs that hot pressing for a smooth texture. Around the house alone, I live in linen jersey dresses from H&M, they’re as comfy as nightgowns. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what they look like, too, so I don’t wear them to go out, they’re both shapeless and sheer, but perfect for at home.
So nice to see you styling linen. I have a nice collection of linen pieces that I love to wear. What would be the appropriate months to wear linen? In other words, what month should we stop wearing linen? How would you describe the thickness? of the Grae Cove linen pieces? I love your combinations that you presented.
Hi Diane, these are very interesting questions. First of all when it comes to styling linen for slightly colder days I look at footwear and jackets/jumpers I can pair it with. For me the shoes that work are sandals(of course), ballerina flats, loafers and slimmer sneakers. For jackets, leather biker, wool blazer and chunky jumper. as long as I feel comfortable wearing those I’m happy to wear my linen trousers or shirts. I’m very impressed with the quality of Grae cove linen shirts. They are quite thick but not overwhelming. Thicker than GAP, H&M and Arket, but maybe slightly thinner than &other stories and COS. I really don’t know if that helps😁
Hi, thank you for your comment. I think it’s a very personal thing. I know people who wear linen in winter and I understand why. Linen is much softer and warmer on your skin than a stiff cotton shirt. I usually wear it in Spring, Summer and early Autumn, Also depends what shoes you wear with your trousers, not all of them will look good😊
You're the first person I've ever seen call linen uncomfortable. If you don't mind, would you explain what exactly is it that you found uncomfortable? I'm curious
@@rekwa3860 the texture is rougher unlike cotton. I have sensitive skin unfortunately. It is easy for people like me to have pruritus. I also live in a tropical country, so it is really humid here. It says it can be a breathable fabric but not in a tropical country..
I loved your video. For the past 3 months I decided to change 80% of my clothes as I didn’t have a specific style. I used to buy everything. As I live in a summer country when it’s hot 10 months a year I decided to invest in linen cloths. They are very expensive to me but I am changing my clothes to linen and buying at least 4 pieces every month. I simply love the elegance of linen and I am 43 years old and never felt so elegant in neutrals and linen cloths ❤
thank you so much for your comment. Exactly! for such climate you need good quality breathable clothes. It’s a good technique, slowly getting clothes that you love. And remember, don’t sacrifice, only buy it if you want to wear it straight away. And most of all, clothes that you feel in like a Hundred Bucks😅 I’m exactly same with my neutrals, they make me feel elegant, put together, but also thanks to more relaxed silhouette that I choose - cool and modern.
I understand your perspective. I, on the other hand, like to wear tailored pieces casually and if I tuck the shirt all the way I feel too preppy and like I’m going to office or something very formal. So I guess the half tuck is the way to make my stiff and more “serious” clothes casual and every day😊
Glad you are back Mariola ! Another good one as I love linen ,complete with wrinkles . Love your styling as ever ,and hope your renovations are going well . Look forward to the next one ,thankyou.
Wearing wrinkled linen requires a certain attitude. If wrinkles bother you even a little bit, you’ll be uncomfortable and it will show in your body. Linen requires you to be nonchalant. 😉😉
I couldn’t agree more!! really well said. It;s just like with everything else. I will just say, I always iron my linen clothes the first time after wash (and sometimes before another wear if it wrinkled in the wardrobe) because ironed clothes fall differently and look differently at the end of the day🥰
absolutely!! right away. I just wanted to post the video asap and now getting the list of items together for you😊 btw thank you very much for your comment🫶
I agree about collars. I keep seeing those undersized, twee ones, they make the body proportions look weird and the shirt look skimpy. A good, substantial, classic size and shape collar is key.
love your style! thanks for sharing. I've been looking for a good linen shirt and specifically with the longer collar/cuffs. They were already on sale and using your discounts code saved me even more. Ordered them in both the white and the blue. Can't wait to get them.
Thank you so much for your sweet comment. I’m happy you got them with such a good discount. You won’t be disappointed, they are really nice quality and cut. Let me know how you like them (hopefully very soon😊)
Thank you so much for you kind comment🙏☺️ I’m guessing the reason you couldn’t access the clothes is because you are in America? Maybe you can check out my newer videos with linen
Hi there, thank you for your lovely comment. I’m gonna be honest, I don’t know the process, but if you go to their website and click on a little message icon in the right bottom corner you can ask your question and give your email so they can come back to you with the info😊
Hello Dear, the straw basket bag (as in description) is old, but if you’re in the UK try Henrietta Spencer. They have beautiful and really elevated basket in a good price😊
Super video and fantastic outfits. Manyinspirations. I have a few linen clothes. Recently I have bought a linen blazer. It is stunning. I do not know how it is sewed, but it is never creased. Itis with lining. It is from the Austrien company from let's say the upper shelf. Speaking openly I have bought it from a second hand shop. I love it. Best regards, Ewa
I love linen. I have a problem with the wrinkling. Over the years I have found there are many ranges of weight to linen, with the heavier having less wrinkling. What brand have you found to be on the more substantial weight? My favorite color is navy as the wrinkles are less pronounced.
Hello Emily, thank you for your comment. I’m really glad you liked it. If you’re looking for more ideas to style your white shirt, here is a link to my old video th-cam.com/video/sqHLbS7WYAY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2GfkvtttOnPHksNu xxx
Thankyou so much for sharing your styling tips 😊 Loving the wrap pants! Can you tell me how tall you are and your usual size and what size you bought in these pants please? It’s hard to make a decision on sizing on the website alone and the reviews vary somewhat. TIA
Hello Tricia, thank you for your sweet comment. I totally understand your dilemma, I was same. I’m 170cm (5’6”) and I usually wear a size 10UK or M. These pants are M and I think they fit well, but I would be willing to try L to see if they have more of a Samurai vibe to them (just my personal opinion😜). Also they are shorter on me than on the model fyi. I hope that helps😘
@@SlowDownInStyle Thankyou for getting back to me - that helps a lot!🙂 I am usually a UK 10 also but 2 inches taller, so unfortunately, think these may come up too short on me - also I nearly bought the ‘s’ size, but like the fit on you, so medium would be better. But think they have sold out of the medium anyway ☹️ Yes, the pants do look a good length on the model and I think it states that she is 5ft 9 🤷🏻♀️ Perhaps she has a really long torso and short legs!😉😄
Thank you for sharing your way to be stylish in Linen. I LOVE it !! And think you are a beautiful person, inside and out!! I just found your channel, and will definitely watch all your styling tips…… grateful😘
Hello Mariola. I loved this video as I'm a big fan of linen clothing but usually only wear it in the summer. I iron all of my linen and as long as I start out freshly pressed I don't mind the wrinkles throughout the day. As you say, it's part of the charm of linen. Wondering if I would feel comfortable wearing it in the fall...I have a pretty linen dress that I would love to wear to a party in mid September. Happy to see your subscribers growing as I've been here since the beginning. Wishing you continued success :) As others have commented the background music is a bit distracting.
Love your videos! and this one is so helpfull.I don't have lines in my closet for many years..because i don't feel so comfortable in them, but now i want to try them again!! You saw us very beautiful pieces and tips!!
Hi, thank you for another great video! Btw, where is that white tank top from? Basic tank tops are such great pieces but it’s hard to find good quality ones with reasonable prices…
I would prefer to listen to you without any background music, it makes it hard to hear you. It’s fine when you’re not speaking. Thank you❤
I agree, this trend for background “music” of any genre is unnecessary and distracting.
Also, a good microphone would help.
I agree. No music please and no advertising. Same type of video seen everywhere
I agree the music needs to go
A gorgeous video! Your clothes look so great on you. You have an impeccable eye for design and detail.
Good content, but agree with "lose the music". It competes with your voice. Thank you for discussing natural fabrics! Love it!
Absolutely! I’m aware of the music issue, but it’s an old video😄 I’m preparing a new linen video soon, stay tuned☺️
I Love Love Love your style and your insight on sustainable clothing and how to choose timeless, elegant and chic. Your style is casual chic and it’s just what love and tend to go with. Thank you!

Excellent video. I have recommended and passed it on to my wife and sisters.
Thank you for the video, your tips are helpful🌷🌷🌷
Massimo Dutti has some great linen jersey tank tops with contrast trim, I just got two and love them.
Great video, got lots of ideas 🌸
Thank you so much for your ideas.I just got some new linen clothes recently from Arket, however Summer seems to be gone from NL by now.😢
aaaaw don’t worry, its same here. We haven’t had Summer in London this year, but I’m still enjoying my linen pieces, skirts and sandals😜

I love your styling ideas but please without background music. 😅
Duly noted😜 thank you for a valid comment. I was experimenting with a new sound, but I guess it was more of a distraction than addition👍
Love your videos! I love the flat bags (solid white and solid black) if you can share where you got them. Your style is my very favorite.
hello and thank you so much for your lovely comment. I just updated the description box with links to the bags you were asking😊
I have a question what season one doesn’t wear linen?
Hi, thank you for your comment. I think it’s a very personal thing. I know people who wear linen in winter and I understand why.

I usually wear it in Spring, Summer and early Autumn, Also depends what shoes you wear with your trousers, not all of them will look good😊
Great ideas but I don't like half in and half out shirt looks I tried it ...on some ok
. but looks like you have forgot to dress carefully 😉
Th you for your very helpful video but pl skip the music, it's an annoying distraction and doesn't add anything positive to your video.
I love your videos style and content. But the background music is really distracting and it's hard to understand you with it playing.
Linen looks so good but is so uncomfortable. Will never buy linen again.

Omg can we stop with these ridiculous tucks
Totally agree with you. i think they look ridiculous.
Talk entirely too much

I love linen clothes. But for some reason I just can not stand the half tuck …. To me it looks ridiculously untidy.
I agree! I feel ridiculous wearing it that way.

can be better if 1/2 tuck instead 1/4! ridiculous on aged women !
Glad you are back Mariola ! Another good one as I love linen ,complete with wrinkles . Love your styling as ever ,and hope your renovations are going well . Look forward to the next one ,thankyou.
Nice to have a video after 4 weeks. Always very well researched and complete. Just stop the background music when you talk…

I especially liked the short sleeve button up linen shirts, both in black and white. You styled them well. Great video!

Love your style! Does Grae Cove's shipping prices include customs/VAT charges or will those have to be paid on top once the items arrive in the UK?
