Judging by the spates of linen co-ords cropping up at the moment, I'm not the only one who's on the hunt for a fresh summer wardrobe staple. The fashion crowd have cemented the simple set as one of the most enduring outfit options for the season, and I'm already sold.
Natural, breathable fabrics should be top priority when the sun makes an appearance—no synthetic fibres over here. Moisture-wicking, lightweight and airy, linen in particular keeps you cool in all climates. There are few things more frustrating than battling with your wardrobe on a sticky summer day, and style points aren't always an inevitability when there's 30 degree weather to contend with. That's exactly where one of these co-ords comes in.
Shades of beige and masculine silhouettes are some of the biggest spring/summer fashion trends for 2025, but they're also incredibly easy to style in relaxed linen fabrications. Boxy Bermuda shorts and a loose shirt can be made instantly more elegant with the right summer sandals, and neutral hues are a dream to work into your capsule wardrobe.
More practical than a jumpsuit and offering more versatility than a dress, a co-ord set will be one of your hardest working purchases of the year. Whether you prefer midi skirts, tailored trousers or Bardot silhouettes, there's one for you.
