I had a very dark khaki linen dress that looked appropriate in the fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-seasons#post-1026905 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:47:47 +0000 Mo 1026905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember wearing a linen knit sweater early this year in Tahoe when it was cold enough to bring along my wool coat. &nbsp;But I did pair it with a leather panel skirt and knee high boots, so maybe that solved the seasonally confused part of the equation? </p> <p></p> <p>EDIT: and there was some discussion about the seasonality of linen. &nbsp;Angie voted it a spring/summer fabric. &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/full-skirt-outfit-idea---seasonally-confused-or-not">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....sed-or-not</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-seasons#post-1026894 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:22:06 +0000 Nicole D 1026894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't feel like wearing linen other than summer and late spring. &nbsp;Just packed away a linen sweater for the season. &nbsp;I love ultrafine merino wool though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-seasons#post-1026875 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:08:21 +0000 Thistle 1026875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, in my climate, I think it would look seasonally confused. Not because it is linen exactly, but because you would freeze. We get snow in fall and -25F winters all winter, with the occassional dip farther down than that. Wool, cashmere, and layers of silk are the name of the day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-seasons#post-1026869 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:04:56 +0000 Suz 1026869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it all comes down to climate. In my climate, linen and even linen knits are great in the summer. I am wearing a linen tee right now, and wore a light linen sweater yesterday. As soon as our true fall temps hit, I won't be wearing them until it warms up again.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-seasons#post-1026839 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 17:33:24 +0000 Anonymous 1026839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, IDK. Is knit linen a new animal or has it been around for awhile?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-seasons#post-1026838 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 17:32:55 +0000 Diana 1026838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've worn them as layering pieces under a blazer in the fall and spring.&nbsp; It gives the look of layering a sweater under your blazer when it's not cold enough to wear a wool one. </p> <p>ETA: I am just finishing up knitting a white linen sweater.&nbsp; My knitting has been very slow this summer so it's going to be done just in time for fall.&nbsp; Woohoo.&nbsp; I'm going to wear it anyway. It has long sleeves.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-seasons#post-1026836 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 17:31:24 +0000 catgirl 1026836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me it's a climate/practical issue. I don't wear linen because its not warm enough for me most of the time. But if I lived in the right climate I'd wear it year round. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linen-seasons#post-1026835 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 17:29:32 +0000 cinnamon fern 1026835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wearing my white linen midi for what might be the last time this year - I think woven linen should be reserved for late spring and summer. &nbsp;</p> <p>But what about linen knits? &nbsp;Would a linen sweater in winter seem seasonally confused? &nbsp;(I think yes, but usually because of the style/construction, not the fabric.) &nbsp;How about a linen tee in winter? &nbsp;(I think no.) </p>
