Spring in the UK can be cooler than anticipated at times, but equally, it can be warmer than summer! This blog is going to run through some styling ideas for linen now, no matter what the weather throws your way. Amazing Woman, Tirelli and Oska are great linen brands. 

Linen with knitwear 

Knitwear acts as a great layering piece across the year and whether it’s a cardigan paired with a linen dress, or a cosy knit jumper paired with linen trousers, pairing knits with linen is a great way to transition into your Spring wardrobe while still staying warm. Gemini Woman has put together some outfits for inspiration. Firstly, the linen trouser outfits paired with Amazing Woman knitwear, which is a great casual outfit that would easily pair with a jacket on top if it’s cold. Equally, layering underneath the knit, such as below with the jumpsuit, means you are prepared for warmer days and can remove the knit and enjoy the sun! Layering is an essential part of transitional styling to ensure you are comfortable throughout the day. 

Wedges & heels 

Linen is often viewed as a casual summer fabric, but it can be very easily dressed up and transformed into a look for a summer wedding, the races, or an evening holiday outfit! Kanna’s new range of espadrille wedges would be perfect to dress up a linen dress for an event, add in some jewellery and the look is complete! The Aneka Gemini Label is a great option for a holiday shoe since it has a small, comfortable heel that could be worn on cobblestone pavements!

Jackets 

A denim jacket will be your best friend during the warmer months, a style that complements almost anything linen and can be worn casually, or over a smart outfit for a formal event! Gemini Woman have styled the Tesa Short Linen Dress in Verde with a denim jacket, such as the Maree Western jacket by Amazing Woman or the Happy Jeanstyle Jacket by Robell. Linen jackets are also a good transitional option as they are lightweight enough to style underneath a jacket if necessary, but equally can be worn alone on warmer days to elevate an outfit into a smart-casual look. 

Linen-blend knits 

Mama B have an amazing selection of linen-blend knits that are the perfect way to transition into wearing linen. Mama B often style their pieces as layered looks as well, vests and t-shirts are layered underneath the knitwear which adds another dimension to an outfit but also ensures you are comfortable all day. The printed jumpers by Mama B, such as the Kira, Crema and Refil are Gemini favourites and they look so great paired with linen trousers from Mama B’s collection or across other collections, such as Oska and Amazing Woman.
