Do You Wear Linen in the Summer?

How do you stay cool in summer? Temperatures reached 90 degrees in Brooklyn last weekend. Ah, I forgot about the heat when it was hot! This summer, when I take evening walks or play in the park with my boys, I want to channel Marianne (above) and always wear comfortable, airy, lightweight linens. Introducing 6 wonderful works…

1. Dinner in the garden at Frankie’s Spantino. These combinations are so cute: tank, pantsand skirt?Also available in red and polka dot patterns.

2. Stroll through the Minnesota Scenic Arboretum. This 100% linen set (top + skirt) Looks very cute and comfortable. I’m also addicted to it this cut out shirt and pants.

3. Ride the Cyclone at Coney Island. An afternoon with the Coney Island boys was never without a sweat. So, my strategy for this year is: light dress And a huge thermos flask filled with ice water.

4. Swim at a hotel in the south of France. This hotel This is pure fantasy, but as long as we fantasize, we’ll read murder mysteries under an umbrella, drink chilled Fanta, and get dressed. sardine shirt and pull-on shorts.

5. Afternoon at the museum. This spring, my brother and I went to the National Portrait Gallery together and the portraits of everyone from Henry VIII to Malala Yousafzai to Harry Styles were amazing. I was wearing a rain-soaked wool sweater (like my British self), but I’m sure I’ll feel better next time. floating shirt and white pants.

6. At the playground with the kids. My most common summer outfit is a white T-shirt and pull-on shorts. red gingham check It’s cute. Also, green stripes.

What are your thoughts? What will you wear? All my friends in Copenhagen say they wear them. white skirt;and it’s not this plaid dress beautiful?

PS Summer manicures and the things I get the most compliments on are random things.
