Stylist-approved
summer style

Our soft, versatile linen blend shirts and trousers are Tess's top picks for easy summer dressing. For those beach days that lead straight to lunch, Tess recommends our chic black and mono print linen blend co-ords and the incredibly flattering sheared-waist dresses.

Tess raved about our stunning mono print range, perfect for making a statement as a coordinated look or mixing and matching with classic black. "Cotton Traders has the most amazing mono print collection this year," says Tess. "Absolutely gorgeous, big, bold prints as a co-ord, which can be worn together, or they can be mixed."

"This year they've brought out a long line kimono, which I love, because this is super versatile. If you're in swimwear on the beach and you're then going straight to lunch or the bar to get a drink - you'll be needing this."

One piece that Tess fell for was our pale cream, front-tie waistcoat, saying: "Such a lovely little waistcoat, which has cotton ties at the front. This would go over your swimwear, perfect for when you walk down to the beach with wide-leg relaxed trousers."

Tess also spotlights our gorgeous and versatile 100% cotton t-shirt with crochet detailing, perfect with our unique in-house designed print skirts or comfortable, wide-leg trousers. Our crease-resistant linen blend trousers are another travel-friendly essential loved by Tess for their flattering shape and comfort. "All of these prints that you're seeing are completely unique to Cotton Traders," Tess points out. "You won't be able to find them anywhere else."
