Suggested fabric type
For a more structured look, choose crisp cottons such as broadcloth, voile, poplin, chambray, and other shirtings. For a more cozy set, choose cotton flannel or light to midweight linen.
For a more glamorous or evening look, choose drapey fabrics like silk crepe de chine, satin, tencel, rayon challis, and viscose.
The top can also be made as a lightweight jacket or shacket in midweight cotton twills and lightweight wools.
