A co-ord set, short for coordinated set, is a top and bottom made in the same fabric and designed to be worn together. The best part is that you can also wear each piece on its own, which turns one set into several outfits.
1. Wear it as a set
The simplest option, and the most polished. A matching top and trouser instantly looks put-together with no effort. Add flat sandals or block heels and you are ready to go.
2. Dress it up for the office
Choose a structured co-ord in a solid colour, add a light layer like a blazer or long shrug, and finish with closed shoes and simple jewellery.
3. Wear the top with denim
Pair the co-ord top with jeans for a relaxed weekend look. A shirt-style or button-down top works especially well this way.
4. Wear the bottoms with a plain tee
Wide-leg trousers or a skirt from your set look effortless with a plain white or neutral t-shirt and sneakers.
5. Take it travelling
A breathable linen or cotton-linen co-ord is ideal for travel. It is comfortable for long journeys and still looks smart when you arrive.
6. Accessorise for an evening out
Switch to statement earrings, a slim belt and heels, and the same set works for dinner or a celebration.
Choosing the right co-ord set
- Fabric: linen and cotton-linen blends stay breathable in warm weather.
- Silhouette: relaxed and wide-leg cuts are comfortable for everyday wear, while straight cuts look sharper for work.
- Fit: a co-ord made to order in your size will fit better than one chosen from a limited size range.
