**************There is no question about it********THE WHITE COTTON SHIRT has long ago reached ICONIC status. It is as AMERICAN as JEANS……actually one goes with the other……Above, is a wonderful coffee table book for my Fashionistas………”AMERICAN FASHION”……….I am very proud that out of all the hundreds….if not thousands of photos that were submitted….my picture of Christy Turlington in my WHITE COTTON SHIRT and TRIM BLACK STRETCH PANT was chosen for the cover…..It was no surprise to me that out of all the pictures I submitted this classic photo of Christy, posed from an iconic painting by Matisse…was picked……………………………………….I guess if I had to choose one outfit women had to wear every single day…..this would be IT!…………………………..much Love …………Louis
……..The “KATE” shirt, A214116, is back……As you see from my collage above….it has NEVER been away………The new color is…………..BUTTER YELLOW………..It is a warn pale yellow with pink, not green, undertones.If you own the OPEN FRONT KIMONO CARDIGAN, A233950, shown above, then you know exactly what the color is……they work beautifully together…………….For those of you who are new to the Linea brand….this is the brief story of the Kate shirt….My wife, who is a WHITE SHIRT lover….and who will on rare occasions wear a color…….was always on the search for a good white shirt that didn’t cost $200. Most of the shirts she found didn’t have a good fit, were made badly, and were see through…..and still cost way to much for what they were…..so…..my task was to come up with a white shirt that would please her and many of you who kept asking for the ideal shirt. Searching the fabric market for the right cotton was futile so I had this cotton developed. It is a cotton span blend, but it also has a fine twill construction which gives it more density…..no see through. My next step was to have the right style and finishes…..so….I sent one of my dress shirts to the factor with the pattern and asked them to copy all of the mens details…….down to the COLLAR STAYS…..Where do you find a woman’s shirt with collar stays?….It makes a difference….no curling collars. One of my “song birds” who kept asking for this kind of shirt was Kate…..a la the “Kate Shirt”……Yes, it is all cotton without any man made fibers except for the spandex for stretch, and the cotton has not been chemically treated to prevent wrinkling….so some light pressing may be required……but, to a true cotton shirt lover this is a small price to pay…..If you never pull out an iron or don’t use the dry cleaners then honestly this shirt may not be for you……………………..Above, are three examples of the Kate shirt…the new BUTTER YELLOW, and the most popular WHITE….and Blue, a true menswear color. Casual with jeans and a cardigan, such as the NAVY with the SIGNATURE BUTTONS, A259706, casually tied over the shoulder as shown above…or the Butter Kimono WK , andyou are ready for Spring….For a little dressier look, but still casual…..layer the BLACK TANK with the ribbed bottom, A232345, as a vest, and a pair of leggings such as my BLACK LINEA BODY LEGGING,A…..BACK IN STOCK…… A pair of dress pants or a WK SKIRT, and LINEA BODY TIGHTS……fancy or plain….will give you many ways to wear a simple COTTON SHIRT……Accessorize as you wish….the crosses, J270119, or the reversible cross, J317110….the VERY POPULAR FISH PENDANT, J288023 in SILVER, J278128 in GOLD…..the GUNMETAL is swimming up stream and will be here soon……The DEMI HOOP, J270391, has just arrived back in stock in the four essential colors…GOLD, SILVER, GUNMETAL and CHOCOLATE…pierced and clip….a definite go to earring……….This shirt is ESSENTIAL in every woman’s wardrobe…..an ICONIC piece of clothing…….one of the backbone pieces in AMERICAN SPORTSWEAR………………………..enjoy……………………Muck Love……………………Louis
………………………….CLAY was one of the new colors introduced this Fall………..Layer it with the CLAY WK TURTLENECK, and the CLAY FAUX SHETLAND BOYFRIEND CARDIGAN, and you have a wonderful mono chromatic look with three different textures. Add the tonal CHOCOLATE BEADS and DEMI HOOP EARRING…..and it’s all very “designer”…….Strip away the layers, and wear the Clay shirt with Khaki pants or natural LINEN pants…..and you transition right into Spring and Summer………you can even wear the same jewelry!………………………..enjoy…………..much Love………………………Louis
……………..STONE…..was another NEW NEUTRAL color this fall, and it truly goes with anything…..Wear it with any of the colors of the Faux Shetland sweaters and it picks up the heather color in each sweater. Mixed with the new CHARCOAL GREY WK CARDIGAN is instant chic…….Layered with the new WK STONE SHORT SLEEVE SWEATER and the STONE SLIM PANT, and you are ready for Spring…..remove the sweater and you are ready for SUMMER……I know I am!…………There are many other colors to choose from in this marvelous shirt….PALE OLIVE….forecasted to be a BIG color for next fall…….the new GREY….another big color for next fall….though I happen to love grey with white and lots of silver for the spring and summer……..Sea Green….a saturated tropical color……………….enjoy…………….much Love………………Louis
