In summer, I prefer to wear linen clothes. However, linen clothing wrinkles easily. Is there another natural fabric that also breathes well and does not wrinkle?
Yes, such a fabric exists. It is muslin — one of the types of material made from 100% cotton, said stylist Marina LOPUT’.
Depending on the number of layers, muslin can be single-layered, double-layered, triple-layered, and so on. Therefore, when choosing clothing made from muslin, pay attention to its density. For example, double-layered muslin is almost opaque while remaining thin and lightweight. Additionally, muslin is soft and very pleasant to the touch, dries quickly, and absorbs moisture well. One of its advantages over linen is that, due to the peculiarities of the thread weaving, the fabric is not prone to wrinkling.
How to Wear Muslin?
Besides texture, the shape of the item is also important. For example, a muslin shirt can be paired with smooth fabric trousers for an office style, while a muslin dress pairs beautifully with a matte-textured jacket.
There are many muslin products — sundresses, strap dresses, tops with ruffles, and flowing skirts that can be used in both beach and urban looks. Like any natural fabric, muslin can shrink, so items made from it require gentle care.
The stylist noted that some manufacturers may label the fabric as muslin, even though the material composition may differ significantly from the natural one. Therefore, before purchasing muslin items, be sure to check the fabric composition on the label.
