fashion rules

i generally hate hard rules about anything, including fashion, because there is so much gray matter in the world. but one that i have yet to be convinced does not hold true is that linen is EVIL. every gorgeously constructed piece of linen fashion looks good on hangers but terrible on living breathing bodies after about 10 minutes. why? it wrinkles like a beast! it looks messy, sloppy, unkempt, just all-around bad.

that being said, i guess i could be convinced otherwise. anyone have any evidence to the contrary?
