Muslin: The light and airy summer trend
Once a precious fabric for royalty, now our favorite companion for hot days and balmy nights: muslin is the trend material of the summer! What makes this fabric so special and how can you style muslin clothing best? We'll tell you all about it!
What is muslin?
Muslin is a special weave that is most commonly used for cotton. Finely twisted yarns are woven into an airy, lightweight fabric that feels wonderfully soft against the skin. Even Marie Antoinette loved this fabric and made it the ultimate "it-look." For a long time, muslin was primarily popular for baby clothes and bedding, but now this trend fabric is making a major comeback in the fashion world. Discover your perfect summer companion – for adults and kids, women and men.
Everyday Muslin Looks
Much like linen, muslin is a powerhouse companion for summer: muslin shirts, blouses, and pants beat the heat and reliably absorb sweat. Cotton muslin is perfect for summer kids' clothing and the ideal fabric for favorite combinations of shorts and summer tops. In winter, a first layer of muslin is actually a great idea to prevent moisture buildup under thick outerwear. Either way, this fabric always looks casual and goes perfectly with whatever suits you best in your everyday life.
Washing and caring for muslin: wrinkles welcome!
To keep that light, crinkled look and prevent the fibers from shrinking, be sure to wash muslin fabric at low temperatures on a gentle cycle. It is best to use a mesh laundry bag. Sorting colors is a must here, as muslin releases pigments during washing. Skip the dryer and simply let your muslin blouse or muslin pants air dry. Ironing muslin? Completely unnecessary – after all, wrinkles are welcome here.
