Is linen a cool fabric?

One of the joys of this glorious summer weather is eating outdoors.

Isn't this time of year crazy busy? There's all the end-of-term stuff if you have children: sports days, moving on workshops, visits to colleges, exams, revision, sports team parties.

With summer fast approaching it can be tempting to wish away the time between now and your vacation or the start of the school holidays.

Are there certain things in your wardrobe that you find yourself reaching for over again? Clothes that either look great or make you feel great, or if you are lucky, both?

During the summer, it doesn’t get much better than barbecue, family and a waterside or backyard party.
