When you attend a social events, heading to your vacation or just a barbecue you want to dress appropriately. Many parties are held outdoors, and therefore you want to be comfortable and fashionable. This is why linen is a great choice. You can fall perfectly between traditional and casual. Suits or to formal and T-shirts and shorts are simply not adequate.

Start with a Pair of Linen Pants or Cotton

Linen pants are lightweight, just as are cotton and they are extremely comfortable. You can choose white or add a bright color into your style. Yellow, pink, orange, and blue are all common colors and many brands offer a colored linen for you to choose from.

Find the Right Shirt

The shirt you choose is going to say a lot about your personality as well is your sense of style. You want to make sure that you choose the right shirt for the occasion. A variety of different shirts can pair nicely with linen pants, then you want to consider what your various options include.

–              Lightly patterned dress shirt ( Robert Graham, Bugatchi ect..)

–              Polo shirt

–              Short sleeve button down

–              Guayabera (known as a Cuban shirt)

–              High v-neck or crew neck ribbed short sleeve

What you choose may depend upon the social event. Most of the outdoor parties aren’t going to require you to wear a tie, so you can generally choose from any of the above. However, if you want to go slightly more formal, such as being invited to a country club versus going to a party held at a friend’s house, you may want to go for a lightly patterned dress shirt. This will add some contrast to the solid color linen pants. For a little bit of additional formality, you can tuck the shirt in and pair it with a nice belt.

Creating the Ensemble

The linen pants or cotton are generally going to be a solid color. What you wear on top should coordinate appropriately. You can choose a pattern, such as pinstripes, plaid, or even a dark floral design. It is very common to choose solid on the bottom and a print on the top.

If you are going to tuck the shirt in, you should wear a belt. The belt should coordinate with the shoes that you choose.

Speaking of shoes, loafers are a great option when you are wearing linen. If you are looking to make a good impression at a social parties, sandals should be left at home. Sneakers probably aren’t the best option, either. If you are looking to dress up the look a little bit, you can also choose a comfortable dress boot or swims shoes to add to the comfortable and summer look.

In the end, linen and cotton are a great option not only for the pants, but many of the button down shirts that are available as well. You will be able to be comfortable and make a great impression when you show up at any social event, whether it’s indoors or out.
