FABRIC
Medium weight woven fabrics like soft canvas, linen blends, duck, suiting, medium weight linen, light to medium weight denims and similar. For a more fluid silhouette, choose well draping fabrics (like rayon challis), for more structured - use cotton, linen blends, canvas. You may also consider stretch woven with minimal stretch and nice drape, such as SunPro or Surfer styles.
