Linen isn’t necessarily known for being sexy. When you hear the word, it probably conjures up images of boxy gaucho pants in a Diane Keaton romcom, or something flowy your mom would wear to graduation.
And there’s nothing wrong with that; full-coverage linen sets are classic (Eileen Fisher, we love you!). But there’s a trend boiling up for summer 2018 that is totally unexpected–especially for linen. And we are so here for it!
Editors are even calling it “the unexpected and sexy trend of summer ’18.” Wait–what?!
Millennial brands like Tobi are reimagining linen as summer’s sexiest trend.
Yes, that’s right–sexy linen is here! For one, the most breathable fabric on the planet keeps you from being a sweaty mess, even on the hottest days of summer. And there’s nothing more attractive than that. No more sweating through polyester or discreetly peeling cheap rayon off your skin. Date night just got a comfortable upgrade.
Plus, designers like Tobi, H&M, Sézane, KENDALL + KYLIE and more are embracing the fabric for everything from crop tops to rompers–styles we haven’t seen before in linen, but greatly need. Expect your Insta feeds to blow up.
“When you think of wanting to look sexy for summer you don’t exactly think of linen fabrics,” Tobi brand rep Chelsea Solis tell us. “Most linen styles are unflattering and get wrinkly before you can even walk out the door. But we love linen in the summer when it’s hot AF.”
Tobi has so many great linen options in their resort collection; including this wrap crop top.
If you’d prefer not to sweat through your clothes all summer, and want a look that is easy, breezy and cool, look no further than the new sexy linen trend:
