New Delhi May 15 (IANS) Linen is a wonderful canvas fabric and an excellent sartorial choice for the extremely warm season. From pants and jackets to shirts and even shoes it can be worn in a very wide variety of shapes so make sure you are taking full advantage of this fabric in summer.
Rohan Khattar Founder of Minizmo an affordable men s wear brand and Celebrity stylist Avneet Chadha gives some perfect ways to wear linen for men.
* To wear linen confidently is to embrace the material s relaxed crumpledness and the easiest way to do this is with a linen suit. Ideal for a relaxed summer wedding particularly in a shade of tan a simple two-piece allows you to beat the heat and still look smart.
* Finish with a checked shirt in crisp cotton to add in both contrasting textures and patterns. If you are wearing a linen suit you should know that a white linen suit will have a more vintage vibe than a navy or brown suit which feature a more modern feel. From an aesthetic point of view you will not have best results if you are wearing linen from head to toe: break it down with some cotton!
* To stay breezy but still business-appropriate go halves on your suit with a neatly cut linen blazer. Trousers are more prone to creasing from sitting down so keep them freshly pressed in a dark cotton or cotton blend and opt for a lighter jacket up top.
* A white linen shirt is an excellent all-rounder when it comes to summer dressing. Owing to its laid-back appeal a well-cut version can slide under a suit to tone down a more formal look or sit over a T-shirt and shorts to take a casual combination up a notch. You can experiment with the colours as well. One could go for a sky blue version or try light pink.
