Vicky Pattison's white linen co-ord from Marks & Spencer is now on sale, with the waistcoat reduced to £30 from £40 and the matching mini skirt at £22 from £30. The presenter was spotted wearing the cream linen set to work, and shoppers have praised it as 'elegant, stylish and comfortable'.
Co-ord details and fabric
The Linen Blend Contrast Piping Waistcoat and matching Mini Skirt are both made from 52% linen, which keeps them breathable and cooling in summer heat. The fabric also includes 46% viscose and 2% elastane, making it easier to iron than pure linen and providing a small amount of stretch.
Both pieces come in an ivory colour with contrasting black trim and black button details for a tailored, elegant look. The waistcoat has a longline fit with a relaxed silhouette and off-centre button fastenings, while the skirt features the same asymmetric button detail, a high waist, and an A-line shape.
Shopper reviews and styling
M&S shoppers have given the waistcoat 4.4 stars and the skirt 4.5 stars. One wrote: 'Beautiful top perfect for everyday wear or dressing up.' Another said: 'Such a beautiful co-ord. Cannot wait to wear it to a fancy event. Elegant, stylish and comfortable. I'll get a lot of wear out of this. I also got the matching top.'
However, one reviewer noted: 'Armholes too low and show underwear. Very creased. Sending back.' Others praised it, saying: 'Love this top. Very comfortable and looks great. Would definitely recommend.'
The co-ord is versatile, with the waistcoat pairing well with jeans, tailored shorts, or wide-leg trousers, and the skirt working with various tops. It can be dressed up with heels and a clutch or dressed down with sandals and a straw bag.
