Last week, I highlighted neutral linen outfits for everyday wear. If you’ve been waiting for some color, then this is the post for you! My fashion mood swings between color and neutrals, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Personal style isn’t supposed to put us in a box! I say when you’re craving color, follow that voice – especially if that voice led you here. Read on for seven linen outfits you’ll want to copy immediately.
1. white tee + red skirt + ballet flats + straw bag + oval sunglasses

Red is one of my favorite colors to add a “pop of”. Whether it’s for the holiday season, Valentine’s Day, or summer, it just works year-round! In this outfit, a red linen mini skirt is the starting point. I balanced out the color with a white T-shirt; it also creates a relaxed feel. Matching black ballet flats and oval sunglasses add a chic, Parisian touch. A coordinating straw bag is perfect for carrying all your essentials- stylishly.
2. leopard print shorts + cropped blazer + ballet flats
jacket | shorts | flats | earrings
Leopard print linen shorts – who knew? Though I love a basic linen outfit, this one is anything but. Leopard print shorts steal the show. For a chic, Chanel-inspired finish, complete the outfit with a lady jacket and cap-toe ballet flats. While this might not be a beach vacation linen outfit, it would be perfect for a shopping day with the girls or lunch at the new classy restaurant with the outdoor patio.
3. button up + pants + leopard print flats
shirt | pants | shoes | earrings | watch
For a classy lunch date, a work meeting, or the office, this linen outfit takes advantage of classic silhouettes, subtle color, and print. Unlike the statement outfit above, this subtle (yet still interesting) outfit is perfect when you want the color and print to take a back seat. The light blue oxford-style shirt adds a pleasing pop of color, and the leopard-print flats jazz up the outfit!
4. dress + cropped cardigan + sandas + basket bag

Spring and summer weather can still fluctuate. Your heavier cardigans may need to be packed away -that’s where this cute little outfit idea comes in handy. A cropped red cardigan looks fantastic paired with a white linen dress. With lace-up sandals and a Jane Birkin–inspired basket bag, this outfit is giving European summer!

Though this may be the least colorful outfit in the bunch, it’s great to have something polished and lowkey in your wardrobe arsenal. Equal parts preppy and polished, this classic outfit idea is perfect when you need to look a little more put together. The light blue complements the beige linen shorts, and the coordinating bag, watch, and shoes tie it all together.
6. gingham dress + espadrilles + basket bag + headscarf

One of my favorite things about this time of year is the dresses. A warm, sunny day and being able to wear a dress? I can’t think of many things better than that! Inspired by picnics, this pretty and feminine outfit idea is perfect for the spring season. The espadrilles, basket bag, and headscarf (optional) add a sweet, nostalgic touch.
7. button up + leopard print skirt + slingback heels
shirt | skirt | flats | bag | bracelet
Red, leopard print, and blue… oh my! It may sound like a lot, but it works. Together – and paired with gold jewelry – this outfit idea feels chic and well-styled. Whether you want to show off your personality at the office or have a stylish lunch date, this outfit idea is one you’ll want to copy immediately.
