If at any point in these early weeks of summer you’ve found yourself standing in front of your wardrobe wondering what to wear, you’re not alone. I often catch myself surveying my closet in the mornings searching for an outfit that ticks all the boxes of being comfy, stylish, warm-weather appropriate, and polished. It’s a tough ask, and I’m not a dress person, which immediately makes the search a lot harder. But recently, I came across outfit formula that I think might just fit all these requirements— so of course I had to share it with you.
Arket’s linen collection is known for being one of the best on the high street, and since I tend to avoid dresses, the relaxed separates provide a perfect alternative. This year, though, it’s their co-ords in particular that have impressed me— and I’m not alone. I’ve spotted so many influencers and fashion people on my social media feeds that have been wearing them non-stop like me. The 100% linen fabric means they’re great in the heat, and the co-ordination not only means they’re an easy all-in-one outfit to throw on in the mornings, but it also looks polished. All you need is a great pair of sandals, vest top and basket bag and you’ve got a look that works for so many summer occasions— from weekends in the city to beach days on holiday.
Since Arket is so smart at knowing what really works, they’ve made not one, but seven different colour options in their linen co-ords. Some have long and short sleeve shirt options, and there’s shorts or trousers to choose from too. I’ve already started building up my collection, since I already know I’m going to love pulling these instant outfits out summer after summer.
