i fully agree, Munich is GREAT in summer

Certainly puts Wetherspoons to shame.

You don't need a suit for the Englischer Garten.

Englischergarten is a must mate. Especially the Biergarten by the Chinese tower. You can settle down under a tree with a nice Mass of beer, shades on and just, well, err.... watch the world go by.

Just gotta be careful not to end up the other end though, you know, where all the oldies let it all hang out.

Eeww!!

Every bloomin year I do this!
The minute It gets sunny I go out and buy linen trousers & tops - which look great for exactly 9 mins 13 secs - then they look as if you've slept in them for 12 weeks

Why do I do this?
I have discovered spray starch - which does help when you iron them, but It only puts off the inevitable 'bag lady' look

Do men have similar wardrobe annoyances..

I suspect not.

Ps - VERY bored

I'm wearing a linen-silk mix jacket at the moment. Keeps it's shape very well. This is my recommendation. Fantastic fabric. Not in the least bit cheap though.

Plain linen is garbage unless you're on a beach in the Carribean.

Well, yes. and that.

Starting to get very sunny and warm here in Bayern. Looking forward to the crop-tops and low-cut blouses coming out....

Try harder when ironing them. Iron them while slightly damp

I'll be sure to pass that on to Mrs. BB

[Pogle]

Just use the ones that you bought last year If they still fit

Naw they're all too big now

[gingerjedi]

I bought a very sharp looking, and expensive, may I add, linen suit in Venice.

Looked good in the shop, looked good on the hanger in my wardrobe.

Didn't last the 9 minutes that your's did Pogle.

Complete waste of money.

Linen's only good for tea-towels IMO.

I know what you mean, it looks fine when you leave for work but after a 90 minute commute you arrive looking like Martin Bell on a particularly grueling 'breaking news' trip to the Middle East when he only had 10 minutes to pack.

I think the trick is to buy Linen Mix (although I have no idea what it's mixed with!)

Cotton, or sometimes wool.

[FiveTimes]

Only new linen clothes actually look ironed. I think Pogle was hoping to avoid the "bag-lady" look.

And...

This kind of logic doesn't apply to women buying clothes!

Or buy better quality

I think the trick is to buy Linen Mix (although I have no idea what it's mixed with!) That seems to keep it's shape a bit longer than just Linen.

Pogle I am the same as you - I have more linen in my wardrobe than I can handle but I love it for summer and for holidays

I find most linen clothing rather see through in bright sunlight

Well, yes. and that.
