On my recent trip to Southeast Asia, I wore a lot of linen. I felt pulled together and somewhat cool despite the sweltering heat. Many of you asked for links to the styles which I was unable to provide since everything was purchased last summer from COS. Good news…the collection is back with many of the same pieces plus the introduction of a few new colors. I currently have a mix of black and white tops, trousers and shorts. They all work well together. I’m eyeing the same pieces in brown and beige to round out my linen wardrobe. Aside from traveling with these pieces, they became an effortless uniform last summer when I needed to get dressed in a pinch.

I’d love to replicate your trip to Southeast Asia! Wonderful photos!
I was curious to see how you packed for all the different climates you encountered. Did you find the linen pieces wrinkled terribly? I always feel like a mess in linen, and I hate ironing!

I checked one suitcase and packed linens and light weight dresses for 2 weeks then cashmere sweaters, jeans and a puffer for the other 2 weeks. I’ll do a post on it soon…
