River Island's 'dreamy' linen dress alternative is the 'perfect Summer holiday fit'

River Island fans are ditching Summer dresses for a 'dreamy' two-piece outfit that has been described as the 'perfect Summer holiday fit'. Fashion lovers have hailed the patterned two-piece set as 'stunning', and have been impressed by how easily it can be dressed up or down for Summer events like holidays, picnics, weddings, bottomless brunches and BBQs.

The set compromises of two different pieces, both of which are online exclusives, and cannot be found in River Island stores. The £35 Cream Printed Linen Blend shirt, which is available in sizes 6 to 18, features a collar and short sleeves - offering perfect balance of smart-casual.

It is crafted with a responsibly sourced lightweight linen fabric which will keep you cool on hot Summer days. The £35 co-ord shirt has been designed with a bold and striking monochromatic floral print, which is almost guaranteed to turn heads wherever you are.

The matching Cream Printed Linen Blend shorts are slightly cheaper than the shirt at £33. These are also available in sizes 6 to 18, and are crafted from the same breezy linen-blend material.

The matching shorts have an elasticated waist for maximum comfort, and feature a drawstring fastening, meaning the waist can be made as tight or as loose as you'd like. The shorts can also be paired with a plain black or cream vest top if you are looking for more of a casual look, or would to prefer to buy them as a standalone product.

Beyond the co-ord, River Island has created a dress in the same linen fabric, with the same luxurious pattern. The Cream Linen Blend Bandeau Midi Dress costs £43, and, like the co-ord, is available in sizes 6 to 18.
