Don’t start your morning with a jolt, when you could peacefully glide through your day in loungewear.
That’s Parachute’s new prerogative, with the launch of its new linen lounge collection for both him and her.
The bedding and houseware company decided that comfort shouldn’t just stay in the sheets, and turned their bestselling linen bedding fabrics into a robe, house dress and a matching tank and shorts set in three stunning colors.
While the robe is unisex, men won’t miss out on the rest of the collection, as Parachute also debuted men’s linen pants and a matching top, coming in a tan fawn color and a dark gray coal.
The best part about the collection, however, is that the items don’t have to stay in the bedroom. Not only can these items be worn around the house and out on the streets too, but the CEO and founder of Parachute, Ariel Kaye, actively encourages it, offering her own styling tips for each garment below.
If the chance to combine comfort and style makes you jump for joy, read on for styling tips for how to successfully land Parachute’s linen collection into your own summer clothing lineup, straight from the CEO herself.
Linen House Dress, $129
Roll out of bed and into your day with the housedress from Parachute.
The linen dress hits above the ankle for a full-coverage dress with some added elements of style, like the slit on either side, pockets and a button neckline that can be tailored to fit your look. Plus, the dress can be accessorized to the max, as the simple garment is easy to pair with silver, gold or even a pop of color.
“I like the idea of styling the dress with a great pair of sandals or wedges and belting it at the waist to give it a little more shape while out for dinner,” suggested Kaye. “A dress can always be dressed up or down with jewelry so I would layer on a few extra pieces for a night out.”
The dress comes in three neutral colors, including bone, clay and coal, and ranges in size from extra small to extra-large. Since linen does not stretch, referencing the size chart on the site is a helpful tip, so that you can be as comfy as possible in your new all-in-one outfit.
Linen Lounge Tank and Shorts, $49 each
What’s better than a matching set for 2021?
Since the tank top and the shorts are sold separately, feel free to mix and match with other items, like jeans or a skirt as Kaye suggests, or pair the shorts with a blouse for an elevated look.
“Personally, I like to wear my linen top with a great pair of jeans and a pointy toe flat out to dinner. I style with a French tuck for an effortlessly cool look. I like to stack gold bracelets and layer a few necklaces to complete the look,” said Kaye.
Both items come in the three classic colors, including bone cream, clay nude and dark gray coal, and range in size from extra small to extra large. For a more baggy fit in the top, size up as linen doesn’t have a stretch to it, although the shorts do come with an elastic waistband for a more adjustable fit. Also, be mindful of the cream color, as it is sheerer than the rest when wearing outside the home and requires an undershirt or nude-colored underclothes.
Linen Robe, $99
Robe? Jacket? You decide, or better yet, let the CEO of Parachute guide you.
“For dinner out, the Linen Robe acts as a light jacket. It can be worn over jeans and a tank or a simple dress to keep the chill off,” said Kaye. “I would wear it with a summer sandal to keep the look relaxed and comfortable.”
For tons of styling options as the CEO and founder suggest above, the robe is a streamlined piece with side pockets and a removable belt for when you want to disguise the robe as a casual summer coat. The best part is that since both you and your significant other can share the unisex robe, you can get one in all three colors and share — or keep them all for yourself; we won’t judge.
