However, if it's hot in Autumn - wear linen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-cut-off-date-for-linen#post-397583 Thu, 04 Aug 2011 14:08:03 +0000 mrseccentric 397583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i'm with the 'common sensers'. i wear heavier linen year-round here in the SF Bay Area, tho on a chilly February day i may sneak in some wool tights under that linen skirt (worn with a silk slip) for warmth.</p> <p>what i love about this forum: even when a person 'Asks Angie", everyone feels free to hop on in!! it's great to get a diversity of opinion, and know that everyone is respected, not just 'the experts'. at the same time, boy are we lucky to have Angie! steph </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-cut-off-date-for-linen#post-397238 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 21:23:48 +0000 Mo 397238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally, I think a lot of these 'rules' are more common sense, dictated by the weather and therefor your comfort in the fabrics. If wearing linen leaves you shivering, put on some wool! If it's still temperate, enjoy no matter the month! (could be living in FL for several winters over the last decade has shifted my thoughts on this ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-cut-off-date-for-linen#post-397218 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 20:35:47 +0000 Transcona Shannon 397218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear...if it's dependent on climate, I'm doomed - I'm in Canada and we usually have snow on the ground by November. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-cut-off-date-for-linen#post-397212 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 20:26:41 +0000 Beth 397212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It may depend somewhat on the weather where you live. Are you in a warmer climate?</p> <p>Living in Virginia, I'll wear darker colored linen through September but not beyond.</p> <p>(LOL Di, we posted at the same time) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-cut-off-date-for-linen#post-397210 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 20:25:19 +0000 Di 397210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it depends on wear you live. In cold, conservative Central PA, I'd stop wearing it September. When I grew up in SoCal, I'd wear it all year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-cut-off-date-for-linen#post-397204 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 20:21:49 +0000 lyn* 397204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear dark linen probably until end of November and don't bring it out again until the spring. I didn't really think about this consciously though ... it just happened. :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-cut-off-date-for-linen#post-397193 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 20:16:15 +0000 Kappy 397193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, good question Shannon. I wonder also about linen knits (like sweters and tanks) too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-cut-off-date-for-linen#post-397168 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 19:42:56 +0000 Transcona Shannon 397168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love wearing linen, despite its high wrinkle factor. I'm wondering if linen is purely a summer weather fabric? I recently bought a beautiful 3/4 length sleeved, lined, linen, camel colored blazer. The lining is quite substantial so there's a decent weight to the overall fabric. I'm wondering if this can be worn into fall/winter or should it just stay with the warm weather? </p>
