Things to know about linen,

1.What is Linen?

From both a scientific and style perspective. It’s the perfect piece of summer clothing. Let’s talk the science first, usually, the clothes that we wear in Asian countries are almost always made out of cotton. And India is not that type of country that really cares about the textile that goes into making clothes. We care more about the color and the final look of the piece of clothing. But keep in mind, if you use the different textiles like in this case linen. It’ll completely change up, how your piece of clothing looks.

Now cotton comes from the cotton plants. Usually, when you use those cotton fibers to make your piece of clothing, It’s very tightly packed.

Linen comes from the Flax plants. So, when you use these linen fibers for your clothing, the fibers end up being packed slightly looser.

So, this basically means that when you put on a piece of linen clothing. It’s very airy, it’s kept you cool in the summer. You won’t feel hot, you won’t sweat much & more Importantly, linen also absorbs sweat much better than cotton clothing.

So scientifically, it’s the perfect piece of clothing. 

And from the style perspective, we’ve got to talk about tip no. 2

2. "The Linen Charm"

Linen is one of the most attractive things that you can wear as a guy because it’s a very friendly piece of clothing. First of all, the overall airy look of linen makes you a lot more approachable and Friendly obviously. But secondly, these little folds that get formed on your linens are the charm of that clothing.

It makes it look a little bit imperfect and that’s actually very sexy. That’s also why a lot of Europeans carry linens with so much style. Think of it, some kind of vacation clothing.

 Now some people might argue that linens are slightly on the expensive side. But You need to know this that cotton clothing loses its quality over time. Linen, on the other hand, improves its quality with time. 

The fiber of linen became much shiner, much softer and it sticks to your body much better. It takes the shape of your body. 

It’s a beautiful piece of textile. 

So, when you are buying a piece of linen clothing, you’re actually investing money for the future. It’s not like same as just spending money on a cotton piece of clothing,

3. How to wear linen?

Remember this Classic Combination, you can always pair linen shirts with cotton pants.

 So, we’re talking about both Chinos & Chinos shorts. Both these looks are extremely elegant, extremely summery. Next, we’ve going to talk about matching colors.

 The Golden Rule with Matching Colors is that, if you’re wearing saturated color for your pants, try wearing an unsaturated color for your top. Unsaturated means slightly lighter, where the intensity of the color is slightly lighter. Like a little bit faded green color top can be paired with the very saturated dark black pants. Similarly, if you’re wearing a lighter shade of pants try wearing a darker shade on the top.

 Now you’ve got to keep in mind, that these are the rules for most pieces of clothing. But when we’re talking about linen, the rules break up a little bit. 

The linen has that vacation vibe going for it. It’s all about breaking some of those rules, like an unsaturated sky-blue shirt with an unsaturated white short chino. It’s light on light, it breaks the rule but for some reason, it looks beautiful.

Here’s the golden rule with linen, experiment a little bit. Break your own color matching rules. If you think it looks great, it looks great.

 

And the final style secret, we’re going to talk about is linen on linen.

 It may not be for everyone, but trust me if you’re able to pull off this outfit with confidence. You will become the most stylish guy in the room.

4. Fit?

We must talk about the perfect fit when it comes to linen clothing.

Just keep in mind when you are buying half sleeve shirts, you might have to buy a size larger than your regular size. The sleeves aren’t stretchy like in the case of cotton. So, if you wear a very tight sleeve, it just looks comfortable and it will lose the entire charm of wearing linen that is comfort.

So, give comfort priority but also remember that you need to give class priority. And a classy piece of dressing is always slightly tight around your shoulder, slightly tight around your back. But loose and airy in your to-show region. So above the line of the nipple, it's slightly tight and below the line of the nipple, it's slightly loose. As for the length of your shirt, it should end in your mid-crouch region.

And very Importantly let’s talk about Pants. Always remember the same rule you follow for wearing other pants. It shouldn’t be so tight that your cell phone outlines show through your pants and it shouldn’t be so loose that you end up looking like a linen loving uncle.

5.Accessories (primarily Watches & Shoes)

Two kinds of Watches that you need to avoid when you are wearing linen.

 Firstly, Avoid Metallic Watches,  are meant for your offices or your parties not really your lunch dates where you are going to wearing your linen clothes.

 Secondly, Avoid Digital Watches, Linen clothes make you look like a man and digital watches make you look like a boy. They don’t go well together. 

If you want to go for the watches, always wear Leather Strap Watches whose color should always compliment your outfit. Leather is the way to go, it amplifies the European feel of the outfit.

                                                                                                          

Speaking about European feels and vacation tones, we’re going to talk about Shoes. The shoes I prefer are Elegant Loafers. It’s always about showing a little bit of skin.

  The shoes you want to avoid are Sport shoes obviously or Formal shoes (because formal & linen can’t go together).     

  And you can also go for Flip-Flops.     

These are the best Linen 101 for Men to make your summer more stylish and comfortable and also to make you an Alpha personality. These steps are highly recommended by your Alpha bro.
