Simply add a heel, or a silk camisole underneath with the shirt left undone, or swap trainers for loafers. A co-ord in navy or a richer colour like chocolate or red works perfectly for dinner or drinks – add your favourite jewellery and let the set do the work. For work, tuck the shirt in, add a blazer and a clean flat or low heel. Same pieces, completely different register.

To dress it down, keep it simple with bare feet or flat sandals, shirt untucked. A linen or hemp set worn this way needs nothing else.

A co-ord is effortless to style and layer. In cooler months, wear your set open over a cotton or wool jumper, or a slim-fit knit underneath for an effortlessly thrown-together look. A hutton blazer on top keeps things sharp; a longline coat or trench adds polish without hiding the set entirely. For something more relaxed, an oversized jacket worn loose over the shirt works beautifully. The key is to let the co-ord lead - your layers should complement, not compete. Browse our outerwear to find your match.

Honestly, almost anywhere. Wear a linen or hemp set to brunch with flat sandals and minimal jewellery – effortless. Heading to the beach? A linen shirt and boxer is the best cover-up you'll own. For something more chic, throw a classic co-ord under a trench and you've got an outfit that works from coffee to cocktails. In navy, a co-ord transitions seamlessly into workwear – sharp, considered, no extra effort required.

On holiday, a matching set does the packing for you: wear together, or split the pieces across your trip. And at home? The fabrics are breathable enough to lounge in all day.
