It’s August and officially the hottest month of the year. I’m still leaning into summer outfits and breathable fabrics that allow me to look chic even when the weather is making it very difficult. I’m partnering with Grae Cove again to share a variety of airy linen pieces and how I would style them for different occasions from work, to the park, to date night.
Grae Cove is a brand that makes affordable and versatile linen pieces for everyday. If you’re looking to add more natural fabrics to your wardrobe but not break the bank, I’ve got several recommendations for you! Even though I’ve styled each piece for different occasions, every single one of these pieces can be worn multiple ways from dressy to casual – just switch up your accessories. For the evening, add a heel and a clutch bag, perhaps undo a few buttons. On the flip side, wear sneakers or sandals and a tote bag for a casual day look.

How To Style Linen For Different Occasions
FOR THE OFFICE

You’re look so chic and polished for work in this linen jumpsuit but still be incredibly comfortable. The Nia 100% Linen Button Front Wide Leg Jumpsuit has adorable buttons down the front which I really love because you can keep them closed for a more conservative office or unbutton a few buttons for a more effortlessly chic look. For this office outfit, I added a leather tote bag and woven mules along with some elegant and simple gold jewelry.



FOR WORK FROM HOME

This Boyfriend 100% Linen Dress Shirt may be the most versatile linen piece in this post. I styled it here for a casual work look with straight leg denim, sling-back flats, and a leather tote bag, but I could also see it worn unbuttoned with a tank and shorts, paired with jeans and heels for a sexy date night or even worn over a swimsuit as a coverup. There are so many possibilities here!



FOR THE PARK

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been spending my summer at the park with my kids and that requires comfortable and easy outfits. These Orla 100% Linen Button Fly Cuffed Shorts are the perfect option for those days. I’ve styled them here with a loose white tee, white sneakers, and an optional denim jacket depending on the weather. I also added the nonnegotiable giant tote bag to hold all.the.things. #momlife



FOR DATE NIGHT

My go-to date night uniform is always a pair of jeans and a blazer. The Taylor 100% Linen Relaxed Fit Boyfriend Blazer makes this uniform an option for the summer, too. A linen blazer is one of those summer essentials every woman needs, and I am so happy to add this one to my wardrobe.



FOR SUNDAY BRUNCH

And lastly, I’m styling the Winnie 100% Linen Square Neckline Sleeveless Midi Dress for any of your summer occasions where you want to look a little dressed up. This dress is so easy breezy with a flattering a-line cut and square neckline. It also has wide straps which means you can wear a regular bra with it, too. For this look, I added a simple black cardigan for air-conditioned rooms and a woven bag for texture.



For sizing reference, I have the XS in all these pieces which is my true size. You’ll want your linen pieces to fit a little loose for that effortlessly chic vibe. For 20% off your purchase at Grae Cove, you can use my code ASHLEY20.
