Once known for its sturdiness - linen has today come to be associated as a stylish and fashionable fabric. No wonder, designers swear by the fabric, which continues to be hot this season too. This is the best fabric to wear in summer because it's light. And so many linen blends are available, one gets pleasure creating designs with it.

DO YOU KNOW ?
* Linen is made from flax, a bast fibre taken from the stalk of the plant.
* Linen blends like viscose linen, cotton linens, silk linens and jute linens are also scoring high this season.
* The fabric is highly absorbent and a good conductor of heat. That's why it is considered cool.
* For a little embellishment, a shade-on-shade embroidery makes a cool statement.
