Is it too late to wear a long black linen dress with a long sleeved jacket to a formal evening wedding in Ohio this weekend? I have heard you should not wear linen in the fall. It has light pink piping on the jacket with an embroidered pink flower.

Linen can be tricky. If you live in a warm climate, you can still wear this tropical fabric as long as the weather is still hot. Here in the northeast, it's already getting chilly, so it is no longer appropriate to wear linen.

If you're still experiencing summer weather and would like to wear your white linen skirt, we suggest pairing it with black, an eternally chic combination. As for wearing black tights, if it's warm enough for linen, then it is too warm for tights, so go barelegged instead.

I say if you look hot, wear it. Deep down inside you really want to wear it. It must be pretty nice. Now if you feel like it's gonna be a little cold then make sure you wear a good comfy padded bra and a good seamless underwear that will keep you warm. Also if you don't wear it now, you'll have to wait till next year. Regardless, it is not a common thing for people to even know what fabric is which. So don't worry about what you heard about not wearing linen in the fall.Have fun.
