Share this article

When it comes to the humidity of a tropical island in Singapore, linen is one of those fabrics that should be your new best friend. While previously linen was something that designers only considered during the resort seasons, in recent years brands such as Zimmerman, Cult Gaia, Tibi and Nanushka have incorporated the fabric in all seasons, each putting their own stylish and unique take on the trend. The cool factor of this fabric (both metaphorically and literally) means you'll be able to channel the "Holiday in Provence" look, even if you're stuck in Singapore.

And if dressing the part will help you get into that holiday state of mind, here are some linen pieces that you can try to get the look.
