How to Wear Winter Linen

How To Layer Linen for Winter

Linen is often reserved as just a warm-weather material. But there are many ways we can style linen in the wintertime. We shouldn’t limit ourselves to silly style rules. With this outfit, I winterized some of my favorite linen pants and a linen blazer with a cashmere sweater. I have never thought to put these two materials together. But now that I have my life is changed! The cashmere turtleneck creates such a cozy layer and when it is paired with the linen the outfit is extremely lightweight and breathable. Perfect for a mild winter day. And if it’s colder where your at, try skipping the linen blazer and opting for a warmer coat!

Secondhand Cashmere

Cashmere is another material that has a lot of misconceptions. Like how it is a luxury material that only wealthy people can afford. But I have the perfect solution for you! Cashmere has been massively over-produced for decades. So if you are looking for a good deal, secondhand cashmere is a must! When you’re buying it new it is hardly ever under $100 or sustainably made. But when you are buying second-hand there are so many options for a fraction of the price. I bought this Ann Taylor turtleneck for $13 on Poshmark. But you can also find a ton of cashmere at your local thrift store. Buying second-hand online is normally more convenient for me when I am looking for something specific. But thrift stores often have nice surprises if you have the time to browse.

My Favorite Places to Buy Linen

Linen is another material that I always have my eye out for when I am thrifting and shopping online. I think I buy linen more often than any other material. I love how versatile it is. And it is always extremely comfortable. Yeah, it gets wrinkled easily but a few wrinkles really don’t ruin my day. It actually adds great texture in my opinion.

I was able to thrift this blazer. Another second hand Ann Taylor finds. And these pants I bought from one of my favorite brands Kid Philosophy. A small slow fashion company that specializes in linen clothing. With beautifully crafted pieces that are made to fill voids in your wardrobe with something that you will want to wear often. Their linen is extremely luxurious. It feels like a washed linen so it is not as stiff as most linen I have come across.

Find how I styled these pants for summer here and here for more style inspiration. I always like to try and re-style as many items as I can through the seasons. That way I can give you realistic ideas that you can implement easily.

Amplifying The Outfit with My Personal Style

Of course, I had to add my flair to this very minimalistic outfit. With the big Lack of Color fedora, western-style boots, my favorite gold pendant necklaces, and the little prairie basket from Dôen. Making a simple outfit stand out with my personal style flair with just a few added touches. I hope you enjoyed this winterized look! I will be sure to share more of these during these last few weeks of winter. And I will slowly be bringing out more of my spring favorites to get a jumpstart into transitioning to my favorite season. I seriously can’t wait for the spring flowers to start blooming.
