A casual linen coordinated set is not only timeless but also versatile. You can mix and match it with various tops, bottoms, and outerwear to create many different stylish looks.

The pattern

I was looking to make a white linen jacket for my Spring/Summer wardrobe so I started from there. After looking through my pattern stash I decided on this Mimi G for Simplicity jacket and pant set. There is also an option for shorts.

The fabric

The jacket absolutely had to be white, but I did not want a full monochromatic look. So I decided to go with a classic stiped fabric for the pants.

The pure linen fabric I chose is heavier and more structured so it worked well for the jacket.

Pure Linen – LINA – 001 – Offwhite – Fabricville

I wanted something softer for the pants so I went with a linen blend.
