This offers endless styling options: from casual to stylish and chic. In this blog we take you through the most beautiful linen outfits from our latest collection: Sea Side Linen. Includes tips and inspiration for every occasion.

Why linen is the perfect summer fabric

Linen is a natural, the fabric is breathable, moisture absorbent and feels cool on hot days. Moreover, linen gives every outfit a relaxed but refined look. It is ideal for active girls: comfortable, airy and durable.

Casual linen outfits for every day

For a day full of adventure — from the beach to a coffee date — comfortable clothing is a must. Linen combines convenience with style, making it an ideal choice for girls who want to look nice and enjoy being out and about.

1. Linen short with top

Loose linen shorts in beige or white are super handy and easy to combine with a nice top. The natural wrinkle in linen gives the whole thing a casual look, exactly what you are looking for for a relaxing summer day.

Hint: Combine with slingbacks or sandals for a fresh, summery vibe.

2. Linen blouses

An airy linen blouse with rolled up sleeves is both practical and stylish. Choose neutral shades such as ecru, beige or white for a natural look. These blouses look great with both jeans shorts and linen skirt.

Linen dresses: from day to evening

Linen dresses are the highlights of your wardrobe! They are airy, elegant and easy to style.

1. Mini linen dress

The mini dress is a classic that suits every girl. It has a nice fit and is ideal for hot summer days. The latest collection from Olivia & Kate contains beautiful dresses in soft colors such as lavender, sand and white.

2. Wrap dress in linen

For slightly more chic occasions, the wrap dress is highly recommended. Combine the dress with jewelry, chop and a small one bag and you'll have a look suitable for a party, family dinner or summer event.

From casual to chic: linen at its best

Linen isn't just for lazy beach days. With the right styling, it also becomes a great choice for special moments. Think of birthday parties, family gatherings or even... weddings.

1. Linen jumpsuits

A linen jumpsuit is cool and chic. It is comfortable, looks modern and can be styled with a strap and beautiful sandals. In the Olivia & Kate linen collection you will find beautiful items in natural tones with refined details.

2. Co-ords of linen

Two-piece sets — also called co-ords — are hot. Think of a linen top with matching shorts or skirt. With accessories such as a bag and a sunglasses complete your outfit completely.

Styling tips: this is how you get the most out of linen

1. Choose neutral colors
   Linen looks best in natural shades such as beige, white, olive green and terracotta. These colors are easy to combine and have a calm appearance.
2. Add texture
   Combine linen with other natural fabrics such as cotton or canvas for a layered, summery look.
3. Less is more
   Linen already speaks for itself, so keep accessories simple: a bag, sandals or a hair clip complete the whole.
4. Mix casual with chic
   Wear a linen pants with a shiny top or a linen dress with a leather one jacket for an exciting combination of styles.

Maintenance of linen: this is how it stays beautiful

Linen is strong, but deserves some love:

• Wash on a low program (30°C)
  Use a mild detergent without bleach. Linen doesn't have to be perfectly smooth — that wrinkle just adds character.
• Hang clothes immediately
  Ironing is not always necessary, but if you do, do it when the fabric is still slightly damp.
• Avoid dryers
  Linen shrinks quickly in the dryer. Allowing it to air dry is better for the material and the environment.
