As someone who is all about ease in their dressing, my secret to looking put-together on any given day, whether I have five or 50 minutes to get dressed, is a co-ord.
Pre-made to look polished and already styled to match, matching sets are amongst the most reliable additions to any wardrobe, and thanks to their ability to be separated and formed into various other outfits, are incredibly versatile, too. As we coax forward summer's arrival, I’ve been looking to the fabric that defines the warmer months—linen. Light and airy linen always gives an "I just threw this on" feel whilst looking incredibly considered.
As the first rays of sunshine begin to seep through, now is the time to look towards this seasonal hero, and you won't be the only one. The new-in collections of some of our favourite brands are peppered with lightweight linen styles in all kinds of combinations. Whilst many of us might immediately think of a button-down and trousers, this season, brands are offering up waistcoat-style tops paired with skirts in mini and maxi lengths and silhouettes from relaxed to tailored.
Because linen creases easily with wear, there's an added relaxed, bohemian feel that reflects the ease of the warm-weather days of spring and summer. However, this doesn't limit linen pieces to just the brightest days. I've spotted a button-down and trousers combination worn with a trench coat and trainers on milder days, or blazer pairings that simply require a tank top or tee to blend seamlessly into your workwear builds.
Keep scrolling to explore the best two-piece linen sets around right now.
