Linen ... just the word alone gives you a summer feeling, doesn't it? Think: sun on your skin, a soft breeze through your blouse, an iced coffee in your hand. At Cuypers we are totally team linen-love - and not without reason!
In fact, this natural fabric is an absolute winner for hot days. Airy, breathable and (also nice) durable. But the best part? Linen is everyone's friend. You really can wear it anywhere, anytime - from morning walk to evening drinks. Yes, linen is just that one cozy girl next door who is welcome everywhere.
So: put on those linen pants, throw on a casual blouse and let's go! Below we give you some linen inspiration for all kinds of summer occasions.
Brunch with girlfriends
Go for a linen blouse with wide sleeves paired with denim shorts or breezy linen pants. Easy, effortlessly chic and you can dine (read: drink mimosas and chat) for hours in it.
Picnic in the park
A linen jumpsuit is your best friend here. No choice stress, just ready in one piece. Wear it with sandals or sneakers and throw a wicker bag over your shoulder - ready for romantic Insta photos by the dress.
At the office (yes, there too!)
Linen has long since ceased to be just for vacations. A linen blazer over a basic T-shirt or tank top gives you a fresh, summer office look. Pair with matching linen pants et voilà: comfortable yet professional (without melting away in the air-conditioned meeting room).
Balmy summer evening on the terrace
Nothing more fun than a linen midi dress in a cool color or with a subtle print. Add some gold jewelry, a heel or mule and you're the queen of the terrace. Bonus points if your dress has a slit - flirty but classy!
Vacation suitcase-must-have
Linen wrinkles? Yes. But in a nice way. That "just-not-perfect" is just the charm. So definitely stuff a few linen basics in your suitcase: an oversized blouse for over your bikini, linen shorts for the markets, or a set in tonal colors for a dinner date by the sea.
Our tip? Invest in a few beautiful linen items in neutral tones - white, sand, khaki, light blue - and mix & match them endlessly with the rest of your wardrobe. You'll be surprised how often you grab them.
Curious? At Cuypers in Nuenen we have plenty of beautiful linen pieces hanging in the store again. Come feel, try on and dream about sunny days. We would love to help you put together an outfit that makes you feel great.
See you soon at Cuypers - where summer begins in your closet 🌞
