I've owned a grass-green linen co-ord for years, and it has never let me down. Every summer the shirt and drawstring trouser set comes back out of the wardrobe, and every summer I'm thrilled that I bought it.
It's cool, comfortable, and because it’s matching always looks polished. Above all, though, it makes getting dressed ridiculously easy. No thought required, other than to put it on, and know you’ll look and feel good.
Flights, heatwaves, city walks, even horseriding – my linen set has done them all. Which is why when I saw Nobody's Child's matching linen top and trousers in the same shade of grass green today, I felt duty bound to share them.

The Tadlow trouser is cut from cooling linen and features an easy drawstring waist, pockets, and a straight yet loose shape. The matching Stirling top is cut with a swing and and elegantly opens at the back, fastening with button at the neck. Best of all, it comes in what I genuinely think is the sleeper-hit colour of the summer: grass green.

If chocolate brown surprised us all this spring - and remains popular even now at the height of summer - grass green is summer fashion colour most stylish women are loving now.
Yesterday alone, I saw several women wearing grass green, as a dress, in a sleeveless top and in wide-leg trousers like these. They looked fresh, summery and stylish, no mean feat when it's 30 degrees outside.

Grass green works because has all the freshness of white, but is softer to wear, and yet is bright enough to work a pop-of-colour beach bag, metallic jewellery and every shade of denim, from white and tan to dark grey and black.
Better still, the trousers are now 40% off in the sale, and by some miracle, are fully stocked.
If you're looking for a fashion purchase that will earn its place in your wardrobe all summer long, and is timeless enough to last for summers to come, I'd make it this one.
