    This is something I have to get off my chest.

    Why do the shops insist on wasting valuable floor space on linen clothes that make you look like a crumped pillow!!!! It's half of Penneys, Dunnes, all the shops. Grrr!!!

    Because linen is all 50 year old women seem to wear in the summer! (I don't care if that's a stereotype, it's true!)

    I'd say even younger than 50, late 30's, 40's wear it... skirts, shirts, trousers, cropped pants, sleeveless tops....coming to an airport near you!

    Yeah, I got linen trousers lately and they don't get wrinkled much at all. Dark colour though so maybe that helps. Anything from Penney's and Dunne's is likely to be of the lowest quality, though, I'd say. Their cotton stuff is pretty terrible imho.

    Penney's linen looks awful. Or at least on the hangers.

    I do have a pale green per una linen blazer I got last summer which I love. I also have my eye on a lovely black linen skirt in awear.

    Most the linen in the shops though is cream/ white/ beige, which I think looks horrible.
