Why Linen Co‑ords Are a Summer Staple, best brands to buy high street and designer options

Author: Stylist at TellarDate: 2025

Linen co‑ords—matching sets such as shirts with trousers, shorts, or skirts—are summer wardrobe heroes. They offer elegant coordination, instant polish, and breathable comfort. But quality and sizing vary hugely between brands, making fit a gamble—especially when shopping online.

1. High Street Winners 🌿

Mango

Offers polished shirt-and-trouser sets in Mediterranean shades, priced around £60–£120. Mango sizing trends slightly slimmer—verify your fit via Tellar.co.uk. See their co‑ord selections and sizing tips in Best Brands for Linen Clothing

& Other Stories

Elevated co‑ords with romantic details like puff sleeves and cropped trousers (£65–£150). Feminine styling that pairs beautifully as a set or separates; sizing is fairly standard. Check your best match on Tellar.co.uk

.

Massimo Dutti

Crafted, mature linen tailoring—blazers, wide-leg trousers, and drawstring sets (£80–£250). Their cuts fit differently from Zara, so sizing via Tellar ensures a precise match

.

COS

Minimalist, architectural co‑ords—oversized shirts with wide culottes—typical price £60–£190. COS often runs large; double-check with Tellar for the right size

Arket

Scandi‑eco vibe linen sets priced around £55–£140 with unisex silhouettes. More eco-conscious fabrics with European Flax® accredited linen; sizing is even, but Tellar helps confirm consistency across launches

Asceno

Effortless resortwear and co‑ords (£180–£500). Fluid linen sets crafted for vacation-ready style; use your Mango size to cross-reference via Tellar for a seamless fit

Totême

3. Styling Tips for Linen Co‑ords

  1. Mixing & Matching

    Shake up pairs—e.g., a Linen shirt from Mango with COS culottes adds depth and longevity.

  2. Layering Essentials

    Match co‑ords with lightweight blazers or slip jackets—perfect for breezy evenings—while staying breathable

    .

  3. Footwear Flexibility

    Combine with espadrilles, loafers, or block-heel sandals. Tone with natural accessories for a turnkey seaside or city look.

  4. Fabric Weight Considerations

    Opt for mid-weight linen to drape elegantly but stay structured—ideal in co‑ords.

  5. Neutral Tones

    Beige, cream, olive, and white are timeless and flattering—reflect earthy palette guidance
