About this video
Centeno addresses whether a linen jacket must be paired with linen trousers or if other fabrics can be mixed. He explains that linen can be successfully combined with various materials including denim, chinos, tropical weight wool, and synthetics, each offering different style and comfort considerations for different occasions and seasons.
