You may instantly associated linen – and in fact, jumpsuits – with warm, summer dressing and that oh-so holiday feel but overalls composed of the breathable fabric are very much a thing and it’s becoming our go-to.
Over the years, linen in fashion has had a tumultuous relationship with popular culture – from the high fashion ensembles worn by the likes of Jackie Kennedy, to typical ‘Brits aboard’ connotations particularly in menswear. But it is fair to say that the lightweight and breathable material is back and offers an ethical yet stylish approach to dressing.
Composed of the fibres of the flax plant, the natural fabric is a simple but easy way to tap into vegan clothing and bring that laid back holiday feel to your wardrobe all year long.
Jumpsuits made from the staple material will stop your daily agonising over putting two pieces together. Overalls open the possibility for one-step dressing to answer your sartorial woes in one fell swoop.
Wear over a turtleneck or long sleeves or under a jumper and jacket and make the most of that easy breezy chicness no matter the weather.
Offered in neutral hues with a bohemian feel as well as richer shades, the versatile pieces that can be dressed up or down, taking you from work to the weekends with the added embellishments of a waist-cinching belt as a flattering counterpart to the loose fitted styles and wide legs.
