The default linen co-ord outfit is the Riviera Linen Shirt - Women with the Milano Linen Balloon Trousers - Women. Monture sells these as separates, so check colour and fit before you buy both.
What makes a linen co-ord work
Fabric, weave and colour decide whether two linen pieces look planned. Shared linen gives continuity, but a twill waistcoat and a plain-weave trouser will look different up close. The material of Monture page lists each fabric's composition.
Start with the trousers, because they set the colour story. The Chocolate Brown pair is stocked in every waist size from 26 to 34, so it is the safest base. Add a shirt for daily wear, a waistcoat when you want shape, or the blouse when you want a softer line. Keep both pieces in one tonal family and the outfit reads as a set.

Frequently asked questions
Are these sold as co-ord sets?
No. They are separates, so check colour and fit for each piece.
Is a waistcoat better than a shirt for a co-ord?
A waistcoat gives more structure; a shirt gives a softer top. Choose by the outline you want.
Does linen crease?
Yes. Choose linen for its texture, and follow each care label.
Do the shirt and trousers need the same colour?
Not necessarily. Match them deliberately, or contrast on purpose.
One last thing
Before committing, imagine each piece worn on its own. If both still work alone, the pairing is a bonus. Check the women's balloon trousers size guide for waist and rise. Browse women's matching sets or women's linen.
