How to Transition to Spring with Linen

Spring Transitional Tip:  You can combine linen with silk, summer cashmere or even suede.

~ Note:  All mention of suede refers to faux suede in order to be kind to animals~

Wear Linen With Summer Cashmere

Summer cashmere is one-ply instead of two or three-ply.  There are featherweight cashmere T-shirts, tank tops, and scarves.  They are perfect layering pieces for spring.

Summer cashmere or lightweight cashmere can be found at high-end fashion boutiques, but you can also find them at mid-point stores such as J. Crew.
