Fabric Suggestions
For the ultimate comfort, we recommend lightweight linen or linen-viscose blends, which provide a beautiful, breathable structure and a soft, lived-in texture. Cotton poplin is an excellent choice for a crisp, structured look that holds its shape well throughout the day. If you want a more fluid, drapey silhouette, a lightweight rayon or Tencel twill will feel like silk against the skin while offering a sophisticated, elevated appearance.
