I just bought a white linen skirt from XCVI which is see through but I love it. &nbsp;Will wear with a slip. They have lots of linen options and are good quality.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-linen---iso-tips#post-2269447 Fri, 01 Jul 2022 17:08:02 +0000 Zaeobi 2269447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought some tulip hem pants &amp; a balloon hem dress from an Etsy seller based in Hong Kong whose pieces are fairly reasonably priced (compared to the European sellers) @anysize. They both had pockets &amp; waist definition (but not overly so!) So far working well in my subtropical, humid climate. </p> <p>The linen quality was good - not scratchy (I have sensitive skin) but not see-through either (though I didn't buy anything in white). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-linen---iso-tips#post-2269439 Fri, 01 Jul 2022 16:28:41 +0000 Jules 2269439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To echo Mary Beth with another point about thickness, some linen is too sheer and requires a camisole - which then defeats the purpose for very hot weather. Darker colours help but can be prone to fading. I think some linens and colours fade better than others though - so if you’re considering something because your attracted to its bright colour, try to imagine it with some possibly uneven fading (I’m thinking about a bright orange top I have vs. an olive green one, and how I don’t love the faded version of the first but the second is fine). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-linen---iso-tips#post-2269427 Fri, 01 Jul 2022 14:31:37 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2269427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m not up-to-speed on current linen, but I recently thrifted a new Talbots Irish linen blouse and a pair of J Crew linen shorts, and I love love love them. They totally saved my bacon at EPCOT a few weeks ago, and a week later when I met friends for patio drinks during the 100+ heat index. </p> <p>I’m particularly impressed with the Talbots top, because it kept me pretty cool, and wasn’t scratchy. (My skin gets tender with sun and heat exposure).</p> <p>My tips for linen are: if you’re buying it to wear in extreme heat, look for Irish linen and/or a mid-to-heavier weight thickness, because this keeps the sun off. And consider slightly oversized styles that allow the garment to stand away from the skin a little, because this allows air to circulate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-linen---iso-tips#post-2269424 Fri, 01 Jul 2022 14:14:15 +0000 Anonymous 2269424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like EF handkerchief linen if you are ok with some wrinkles. &nbsp; Otto s are usually a heavier linen and that is good. I would love to find an unlined white linen blazer. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-linen---iso-tips#post-2269399 Fri, 01 Jul 2022 10:07:16 +0000 Column 2269399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Massimo Dutti! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-linen---iso-tips#post-2269386 Fri, 01 Jul 2022 06:07:00 +0000 Kathie 2269386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently tried three Etsy shops for linen. My favorite is LinenIDStudio, and I’ll definitely be a repeat customer. Production was 2 weeks, and shipping ~5 days to the US. LinenMe (based in UK, clothes made in Lithuania) has excellent quality linen for the price, and production was a bit faster (~1 week.) The finishing details- French seams, faced hems- are gorgeous on all the pieces I ordered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-linen---iso-tips#post-2269327 Thu, 30 Jun 2022 22:20:42 +0000 bj1111 2269327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Second Uniqlo.

Interesting “Asian” silhouettes and fab quality at affordable prices.

I am in the US, so all of these brands are accessible to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-linen---iso-tips#post-2269186 Thu, 30 Jun 2022 00:13:22 +0000 Ana 2269186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve heard good things about Quince linen pieces and they aren’t too expensive. I have a silk skirt from them and it’s great. Eileen Fisher is also usually pretty good. But in my experience you just have to feel a linen piece in person and see how you feel about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-linen---iso-tips#post-2269180 Wed, 29 Jun 2022 23:37:12 +0000 cat2 2269180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tommy Bahama? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-linen---iso-tips#post-2269177 Wed, 29 Jun 2022 23:26:03 +0000 kkards 2269177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was also going to suggest Etsy, but as most of what I have seen is made it order, plus shipping time, i think you are looking at late July -mid August delivery </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-linen---iso-tips#post-2269175 Wed, 29 Jun 2022 23:22:42 +0000 kkards 2269175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s been a while since I’ve ordered anything from here, but my 1st thought was Garnet Hill<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.garnethill.com/womens-fashion/the-linen-shop/">https://www.garnethill.com/wom.....inen-shop/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-linen---iso-tips#post-2269173 Wed, 29 Jun 2022 23:13:40 +0000 Anonymous 2269173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's mine-<br /> The skirt came from an Etsy shop, yep in Europe, but very reasonable priced and many colors.<br /> The pants were Villager Sport, consignment find. I know they need ironing, but it can wait til it's cold enough to wear them again!<br /> The top is Cut Loose brand, cotton linen. Found in a boutique. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-linen---iso-tips#post-2269156 Wed, 29 Jun 2022 21:10:40 +0000 Carla 2269156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m happy with my dress from Aritzia/Wilfred, and they have quite a bit of linen offerings.<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.aritzia.com/en/clothing/linen-clothing">https://www.aritzia.com/en/clothing/linen-clothing</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-linen---iso-tips#post-2269153 Wed, 29 Jun 2022 21:02:36 +0000 Jules 2269153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well my inclination would be to look at classic brands like Ralph Lauren who make linen items. Or Eileen Fisher maybe? I am loving Canadian brand Power of My People if you are in North America but I am not sure of returns from across the border (it tends to be an issue when ordering from the US to Canada even if the initial shipping is free, so I imagine it might be the same in reverse for US shoppers).<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://powerofmypeople.com/">https://powerofmypeople.com/</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-for-linen---iso-tips#post-2269150 Wed, 29 Jun 2022 20:38:35 +0000 elpgal 2269150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want a happy medium between super-flowy styles vs fitted, between scratchy Amazon offerings and made-to-order European brands. Where should I look? I would like a dress, a pair of tulip-hem pants and a tank. </p>
