When most people think of linen, they picture sun-bleached beaches, Aperols in hand, and days where getting dressed requires little more than a pair of shorts and a breeze. But here at Sea-m, we’ve never played by traditional “season rules.”

As we settle into the cooler months, our linen pieces don’t get folded away - they just get layered a little smarter. With the right textures, silhouettes, and styling, winter linen becomes the quiet luxury of cold-weather dressing: breathable, effortless, beautifully unfussy, and surprisingly warm.

Below, we’re sharing our guide to wearing linen in winter, Sea-m style - along with a few of our favourite brands we love pairing it with...

Let’s start with the obvious question: Can you wear linen in winter?
Short answer: absolutely.
Long answer: absolutely - and here’s why.

Linen brings a naturally breathable, temperature-regulating quality that works beautifully under thicker layers. It keeps you warm without the bulk and adds lightness where winter wardrobes often feel heavy. When paired with the perfect pair of jeans, a chunky knit and your best boots, something magical happens: your outfits feel intentional, elevated, and quietly cool.

And in a season where we’re all craving ease, linen gives you a little room to exhale.

If there’s one Sea-m piece that was made for winter layering, it’s the linen waistcoat.
Tailored enough to bring structure, light enough to avoid overheating - it’s the dream second layer.

Slip over your favourite shirt and under a wool coat or a clean-lined trench and suddenly your outfit feels sculpted without being stuffy. It’s polished, minimal, and perfect for cold-weather city days or office-to-evening dressing.

Layering linen into the cooler months isn’t just a styling trick - it’s part of a bigger belief we hold at Sea-m: that clothes should last, adapt, and evolve with you.

Creating a seasonless wardrobe means choosing pieces that work across climates, across lifestyles, across years. Linen plays a powerful role here - durable, timeless, sustainable, and always ready to shift with the seasons.

And when you style it with intention, you get more wears, more value, and more ease. The coastal breeziness stays - we just wrap it in warmth.
