Emily Ratajkowski has just reminded us that summer style is all about comfort. When the sun comes out, having a stylish co-ord ready to go means less time thinking of what you are going to wear and more time soaking up the sun. Personally, I'm sold.
We've seen plenty of variations on the co-ord throughout the years, but this season, it's all about the linen shirt-and-shorts combo. And with approval from EmRata, the queen of swimwear, you know that it's a great style choice for the beach and beyond. A chic co-ord will always look pulled together, and with minimal effort required when it comes to styling, it really is a win-win.
Take style tips from Ratajkowski and layer the shirt over a bikini top or button it up all the way for a smarter look for the city. Better yet, co-ords can be mixed with your other wardrobe favourites, making them a versatile addition to your wardrobe. You can drape the shirt over a summer dress or focus on the boxer shorts, which are a great start to many warm-weather outfits.
With various colourways and designs, there's a set for everyone this summer. A towelling set is perfect for the beach, whilst linen iterations will keep you cool on blazing summer days and add a tailored touch. Style with sandals, clogs, trainers or mules—basically, it goes with everything.
