Go for it, bitch! Your somewhat drab personality will look great showcased by the worldâs most finicky fabric. Grab your linen jumpsuit, overcoat, canvas shoes, and tote bag, because youâve got a bevy of farmers markets to conquer on your lunch break. The world is your natural-fibre oyster!
Mostly âBâs
How âbout you start with some linen accessories first? Instead of jumping whole-hog into what could be a fashion disaster for yourself, take a step back and think: Is this really me? Do I have the patience, wisdom, and thin hair to be someone who says ânamasteâ in linen trousers? Try wearing a fast-fashion linen jacket from H&M first to see how you feel.
Mostly âCâs
Outlook not so good. You seem like someone who would spill an entire bowl of spaghetti on their clothes, even if you were nowhere near pasta all day. Linen is a tricky fabric because if you even look at it wrong, itâll wrinkle faster than my under-eyes in the sun. Why donât you try growing up and acting mature for once in your life, you cotton-poly-blend bitch?
Mostly âDâs
You should be wearing a full wetsuit at any given time or rolling yourself in that clear plastic that old people keep on their couches. The world isnât ready for you to wear linen, and frankly, it barely looks good on anyone, so why even try? Look for clothes that are stainproof, fireproof, and indestructible, or else just go nude all summer.
