ALL SET FOR SPRING & SUMMER WITH THE SLEEP SHIRT

03.24.23

When it comes to dressing in the warmer months, few things are more effortless than a simple linen set.

So naturally, when I saw that The Sleep Shirt, a Canadian-made line of gorgeous sleepwear and everyday styles, was releasing a one in their spring collection, I just had to give the styles a try.

It can be hard to find a linen set that walks the fine line between elevated and easy-going and I think this one manages to strike that delicate balance beautifully. It’s as ready for dog walks and weekend lounging as it is for an upscale engagement party or a summer soirée.

In today’s post I’m a closer look at the WOVEN T-SHIRT & PALAZZO PANTS, then I’ll share a few ways to style this set for the upcoming seasons.

Read on for some spring and summer style inspo and a few things to keep in mind, should a set like this be on your radar.

A FEW DETAILS I LOVE

Style Bee - ALL SET FOR SPRING AND SUMMER WITH THE SLEEP SHIRT

OPEN SCOOP NECKLINE

Hits the collarbone at the perfect place that feels open and elegant, while still offering a fairly high amount of coverage.

PLUS it’s bra-strap-friendly!

GENTLY CURVED HEM

This is a lovely design detail that softens the straight silhouette and offers an elegant line, should you choose to wear this piece out over your bottoms.

SHORT DOLMAN SLEEVES

I love a dolman sleeve, especially in linen because it creates such a lovely bell shape on the upper arm and a soft drape through the shoulder.

NOTES ON THE PALAZZO PANT

MADE IN CANADA

SIZING: Available in sizes XS, S, M, L (More sizes in development as this was a new style)

FIT: I’m wearing a size small in the Palazzo pant and the fit is true to the size chart. I typically wear a 26//27 or a 4/6 in pants. The waistband lands a couple of inches below my natural waist. These are a pull-on style, with an elastic waistband across the back half of the waist. It took a bit of shimmying to get into the first time but it has since become easier to pull them on.

I’m 5’7 with relatively long legs so the 30″ inseam is perfect for me and lands a couple of inches or so off of the floor. If you’re a shorter height, these can easily be tailored.

CARE: Cold water hand wash and hang dry. I plan to steam out any creases with my iron as needed.

FABRIC: 100% Linen – medium light, semi-opaque, textured, and crisp. These also come in a beautiful Tencel twill that has a gorgeous silk-like fluidity.

COLOUR WAYS: BROWN LINEN (shown throughout post) | BLACK LINEN | TAUPE TENCEL TWILL | BLACK TENCEL TWILL

PRICE POINT: $265 CAD $212 CAD with code: STYLEBEE


A FEW DETAILS I LOVE

Style Bee - ALL SET FOR SPRING AND SUMMER WITH THE SLEEP SHIRT

THEY’RE A TRUE PALAZZO PANT

These are not just a wide leg pant. A true palazzo pant has an a-line shape that begins at a narrow waist with a continuously expanding line to the floor. The result is a flowing, floor skimming leg shape that glides with every step.

Made popular in the 20s by Coco Chanel and later favoured by my favourite style icon, Katharine Hepburn.

POCKETS

The slanted side seam pockets on these pants are a subtle but highly functional addition without adding unnecessary bulk. Several of the linen pants in my collection have no pockets and these are a welcome change.

FRONT KNIFE PLEATS

I love a bit of relaxed tailoring in my wardrobe and the knife pleats on these pants adds just enough structure. They feel a bit more like a trouser thanks to this detail, while the linen and palazzo leg shape bring the drama.

HOW I’M STYLING THIS SET

LOOK 1 / FOR COZY SPRING WEEKENDS

Right now I’m loving this set with a chunky oversized cardigan and some fuzzy slippers, all in the same tonal range to create a super comfy but still cohesive weekend look.

LOOK 2 / FOR BUSY SPRING WEEK DAYS

As the season begins to ramp up I’m excited to style this set for busy week days at my desk, prepping content for shoots and working on new projects for Style Bee and Steep Hill.

I love the laid-back but still bold feel of a linen set paired with a linen trench. A couple of brighter elements such as white sneakers and a cream knit, give the palette a fresh feel.

LOOK 3 / FOR WARM SUMMER DAYS

I’m probably most excited to wear this set on warm summer days with a simple pair of slides and my go-to sunglasses. It’s the perfect set to slip on for whatever a day at the lake has in store.

Here’s a look at the palazzo pants from the back. I like that there are no back pockets for a minimal look.

    Ohhhhhh this set is soooooo good. I just got back from a vacation and told myself I needed to slow down on spending for a bit, but I might need to make an exception for this 😉 Also love that they are Canadian – I love so many of the US sustainable brands, but with the shipping cost, exchange rate and duties, it’s often cost prohibitive. Thanks for showcasing this!

    I absolutely love the silhouette of the Shirt and the fact that it comes in larger sizes. Just ordered the black Tencel one and I cannot wait to wear it.
