Embroidered Shirt and Trouser Co-ord, Assorted Colours

Lime green is not a shy colour, and this co-ord does not pretend otherwise. The shirt carries fine embroidery over the bright green base, which adds texture and stops the colour from looking flat. The fit is relaxed and easy, with details such as a button-down front and subtle pleats, and the matching trousers finish the set so the whole look is ready in one go.

This is a daytime outfit: a brunch in the sun, a mehendi afternoon where you want a western option, a birthday lunch, or a holiday photo day. It also photographs well, which matters more than people admit. Wear it with white sneakers to keep it casual, or with tan sandals and gold hoops for a semi-formal event.

• Lime green shirt with delicate embroidery
• Matching trousers
• Relaxed, comfortable fit

Care: wash separately in cold water for the first few washes, as bright greens can bleed. Dry in shade and iron on the reverse side over the embroidery.
