To find a black linen trouser suit in a slim short leg .
I've tried M&S ,John Lewis, White Company , Next , Amazon , ASOS .
Where do you buy your linen ladies ?
Budget no more than £200.

I have recently discovered how amazing charity shops are - especially in affluent areas. I've come home with designer label's for a fiver.

I think a 2 part suit might be tricky. I imagine they'd sell the pieces separately and I'd never find the exact match.

Have you tried Poetry, they have some lovely linens.

I buy a lot of stuff from charity shops but, if I want something specific, it can take me up to a couple of years to find it in the right colour and size.

I don't know what your budget is but, if it were me, I'd start with 1) Uniqlo - they often sell trousers and jackets separately so you'd have to check they'd match, 2) H&M - including the teenage boys department, they had a good linen and cotton mix trouser suit a year ago, and 3) Zara. But I'd try and go to a real store if at all possible because the quality of high street linen is completely hit and miss.

Also some stores are only just starting to get linen in stock. If you wait a few more weeks there might be a lot more around.

Ooooh now you're talking . I saw an ad for them and it look ed beautiful. The short leg length might be the sticking point though.

Uniqlo have linen blend jackets and trousers which fit the bill and your budget
