The summer work outfit
Linen is the ideal fabric for summer. Its ability to absorb sweat moisture and let the skin breathe is superior even to that of cotton; and in return, it is even more elegant. So, if you have an important meeting on a sweltering July day, you already know what to pull out of your wardrobe. What to pair it with? Obviously a blouse. If you really want to make an impression, a silk blouse in a distinctive shade, such as a deep fuchsia or acid green, is ideal with neutral-colored, light linen trousers. Complete the look with high-heeled sandals and everyone will immediately recognize you as a career woman.Not just a shirt…
Linen trousers are a refined garment and for this reason are very often reserved for formal occasions, such as ceremonies and events, or for a medium-elegant office outfit. But fashion has no written rules that cannot be broken, if you know how to do it. Therefore, linen trousers are perfect also for leisure time and casual occasions, if you want a look that has a touch of refinement mixed with practicality and comfort. The trick is to pair them with a street-style top. Choose one that is loose and worn untucked, preferably with a round neck. It will also work well with lettering, while it is better to avoid overly childish prints, as they would clash with the trousers. Choose a contrasting color: if the trousers are beige, go for purple or bright blue; if the trousers are darker, bottle green or intense orange are ideal colors. Alternatively, wear a solid-colored tank top, light or dark. For an aperitif on the beach, it is a look that is glamorous and casual at the same time.The cut of the style
It is easy to say linen trousers, but they are not all the same! Of course, the fabric remains the same, but the cut makes the difference. There are different types, and they all manage to maintain that elegant and sophisticated feel that distinguishes them. Trousers with a soft, palazzo cut, with a wide leg and long enough to cover the feet are also suitable for work and formal occasions. It depends above all on the shoes you wear: a little heel is better to elongate the figure. A linen pair of carrot-fit trousers, not too tight around the hips but fitted at the ankle, is perfect for leisure time. They go well with flat shoes, from ballet flats to flip-flops and even clog sandals. Finally, if you are looking for something a little different, you can opt for a cropped style. Here you must pay attention to the choice of footwear, because this cut tends to shorten the figure. If you want, you can also wear a pair of stiletto-heeled pumps, but obviously it is not an everyday look. If you are looking for something less formal, square-heeled sandals or, even better, wedges will complete the outfit perfectly.Ideal in neutral shades
When you think of linen trousers, your mind immediately goes to neutral shades: beige, taupe, ivory… these are the perfect colors for this garment. You should have at least one pair of trousers like this in your wardrobe, because they are easy to pair and go with everything. You can always dare with color, but to avoid complicating your life, it is always better to be able to rely on basic pieces.
