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.
