Editor’s Guide: Occasion Dressing with Leo Lin
Leo Lin garments are statement pieces defined by bold colors and architectural volume. Here is how to style them.
1. Wedding Guest
The Fix: The brand’s signature silk-linen has a slight sheen perfect for weddings. Pair bold floral prints with nude, minimalist strappy sandals to elongate the leg without fighting the dress for attention.
2. Race Day Ready
The Fix: Leo Lin is a staple for the Spring Racing Carnival. The structured collars pair perfectly with sculptural millinery. Pick one accent color from the dress print to match your headpiece.
Sizing Guide: Leo Lin Fit Profile
Leo Lin uses Australian Sizing (AU), which aligns closely with UK sizing. The fit is known for precision tailoring.
| Leo Lin (AU/UK) | US Size | Fit Advice |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | 2 | True to Size |
| 8 | 4 | True to Size |
| 10 | 6 | Structured Bodice |
| 12 | 8 | No Stretch in Waist |
Pro Tip: Bodices are often fitted with zero stretch (especially in silk-linen blends). If you are between sizes, particularly in the bust or ribcage, we strongly recommend sizing up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Leo Lin run small?
The bodice and waist of Leo Lin dresses are highly structured and true to Australian sizing, but they offer zero stretch in their signature silk-linen fabrics. Customers with a larger bust or ribcage should size up for comfort.
