Linen trend

FQ style: Linen love

2 January 2016

Tactile and relaxed, linen is the cut-above summer fabric.

Loved for its cool and summery aesthetic, white linen epitomises the season. Made from the flax plant and renowned for its strength and durability, you’ll enjoy your linen clothes for many summers to come. Wear it draping and just a little bit crushed for a lounge-about look.

To remove creases, iron or steam your linen garments. Although your efforts won’t last all day – linen naturally crinkles with wear – this results in a gorgeously relaxed look. Embrace it. To skip the ironing process, hang your linen clothes on a hanger to air dry. But, if needs must, iron while the fabric is slightly damp for great results.
