Linen on linen. The hat makes it a decision. A green funnel-neck bodysuit with a keyhole, natural linen wide-leg trousers, a floor-length linen kimono, and a woven straw hat. Under all that linen there is exactly one colour. I rationed it. Wear it travelling, somewhere with stairs to the sea.

A green funnel-neck bodysuit with a keyhole cut, under natural linen wide-leg trousers and a floor-length linen kimono.

A green bodysuit with a funnel neck and a keyhole cut below it, open just below the collar. It is sleeveless, close to the body, and has a rounded cut-out at the side of the waist. The trousers are natural linen with a gathered waist and a leg wide enough to pass for a skirt when seated. Over both, a kimono in the same undyed linen, with short wide sleeves, falling to the floor.

The green is the only colour in the outfit and it does not need help. Everything else is the shade of the stone and the pots around it, which is the point: the linen disappears and the bodysuit stays. A straw hat comes along for the walk back. For late spring and summer, on a terrace with a pool and no shade worth the name. Flat sandals, or none.

I brought a hat and held it. That counts.
