Highlights from the sale
Linen-rich ruched tie-front top and matching shorts
One of the most versatile combinations in the collection is a soft-pink linen-blend co-ord built around a ruched, tie-front peplum top paired with matching shorts.
The top’s bow detail and gathered shaping give a feminine silhouette that works with high-waisted denim or tailored shorts, while the shorts—now reduced to £36 (was £45)—are cut for comfort but smart enough to move from daytime strolls to relaxed evenings. Together they make an easy, travel-friendly outfit that feels put-together without being fussy.
Halter neck midaxi beach dress with linen
For those who prefer a single-piece solution, the halter neck midaxi dress brings colour and movement to a holiday edit. Made with a linen-rich fabric, the dress is described as midaxi for its flattering length that hits between midi and maxi, carrying a floaty silhouette ideal for coastal walks or alfresco dinners. In the sale it is listed at £63.20 (was £79), making it a standout bargain if you want a statement piece that remains breathable in warm climates. The halter detail keeps the shoulders free for a sun-kissed look.
Linen-rich V-neck relaxed shirt
A relaxed V-neck shirt in pink is the sort of versatile item that anchors a capsule holiday wardrobe. The fabric blend leans on linen for coolness and texture while the cut stays easy and wearable; it includes small pockets for a neat finish. Priced at £44 (was £55), this shirt can be worn tucked into shorts, layered over swimwear as a cover-up, or left loose over a cami for a deliberately effortless feel. It’s a practical pick that will return season after season.
One-shoulder sleeveless wide-leg jumpsuit
If you prefer an all-in-one outfit that demands little styling, the asymmetric one-shoulder jumpsuit is worth considering. The wide-leg cut and sleeveless design create a relaxed silhouette that still reads refined thanks to its tailoring and rich brown tone. Now reduced to £104 (was £130), this piece works with flat sandals by day and dressed-up accessories by evening—one garment that covers both bases when packing light.
How to wear and style linen pieces
Linen performs best with minimal fuss: pair loose silhouettes with structured accessories to balance the look, and choose natural tones or a single pop of colour for cohesion. For example, the ruched top and shorts co-ord looks equally fresh with white trainers or woven sandals, while the midaxi dress benefits from a lightweight shrug for breezy nights. Layering over swimwear or adding a belt to cinch a relaxed shirt are simple tricks to extend versatility; treat linen gently when washing to preserve the fabric’s breathable texture.
Other offers and practical notes
Beyond clothing, the sale notes a few lifestyle and beauty items that may interest shoppers. At-home IPL devices like the Keskine handset have been highlighted as a lower-cost path to reduced hair growth, with the brand claiming up to 98% reduction in four weeks and pricing marked around £199 (was £299). For a spring refresh of your smile, the MySweetSmile range offers whitening powders and strips that aim to tackle surface stains, with cost-per-use estimates under £2 when buying bundles. These extras are optional but useful for anyone planning a holiday prep session.
