Sometimes it seems to us that it doesn't matter after a certain temperature. But believe that choosing the right clothes will really help you survive the hot summer days in greater comfort . We will advise you on what materials, cuts and colors to wear. Add an honest drinking regime and plenty of shade to the right outfit and don't be afraid to take a real Italian siesta between twelve and four.
How to choose the material: dress in clean linen
Leave synthetic fiber pieces in the closet in the summer. We wear only one material on nine out of ten hot days: 100% linen . It cools slightly, is hypoallergenic, breathable and makes you sweat less. The linen we use in ELKA LOUNGE also goes through a special softening process , so you don't have to worry about the unpleasant scratching on your skin that you might know from heavy linen blouses or trousers. Without exaggeration, our linen almost achieves the softness of satin.
How to choose a cut: loose, short, uncompromisingly comfortable
In high temperatures, think of comfort first. When you choose the right clothes, elegance comes automatically with it. For women, a short linen dress or a long dress in a loose fit cut is the ideal summer piece. For those who don't want bare shoulders , we recommend loose linen tops with comfortable shorts .
The most comfortable piece for men are definitely linen shorts in a loose fit cut . Despite its comfort, it looks elegant, especially in combination with a well-fitting linen shirt .
Which color to choose: light shades are a certainty
Among our natural linen pieces, you will find classics in the form of white, black and beige, but also original shades, which, by the way, are among our bestsellers: the luxurious Pearl gray and the unmistakable Moss green. In addition to these, we also sew women's and men's linen clothes in pale and dark blue.
The entire south of Europe knows that light colors are much more pleasant in the sun. At the same time, we do not force them on you if you are an incorrigible lover of dark shades. Much more important than the shade itself is the origin of the color used . And with our clothes, you can be sure of both the quality of the fabric and the color . We dye linen using dyes or inks certified by the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 organization. The fabrics meet the highest level of Class I quality, i.e. the strictest health certification suitable for children from birth.
