Co-ords have been around since the 60s when Chanel introduced matching blazer and skirt sets that were seen on prominent personalities, like the US First Lady Jackie Kennedy to actor Audrey Hepburn. The matching tweed sets have been synonymous with elegance ever since and have also evolved over the years with changing trends. Co-ord sets saw a huge resurgence in popularity in recent times with matching shirt and trouser sets becoming everyone’s favourite quick and easy wardrobe hack.
The versatility of co-ords has only grown and they are available in so many different top and bottom options as well as prints, embellishments, and colours – one is spoilt for choice. From abstract print co-ords to ones with traditional ethnic embroidery, you can find a matching set for every occasion, event, and even weather thanks to the multiple fabric options. They are also lazy-girl’s (myself included) best-kept fashion secret! Read on as we reveal all the secrets of The Co-ord Club.
Women (including us) love co-ords for the cohesive look and polished feel it adds to the ensemble. They are also convenient and need minimal styling, which means no last-minute dilemmas over styling separates or standing for hours in front of the wardrobe to pick your outfit. You can also find co-ord sets with three or four pieces that help you transition through different seasons and create multiple outfits. Whether you’re headed to a work event or wedding, you can always rely on co-ord sets for a chic and fashionable ensemble. Building a collection of co-ords also means saying goodbye to the ‘I don’t have anything to wear’ meltdowns and the panic over finding matching separates. They also make it far easier to pack for vacations and cut down your luggage weight as you can mix and match them with basics for different outfits. You can also easily dress them up or down with jewellery, footwear, bags, and other accessories for any occasion. While we could go on and on about how convenient they are for business and pleasure, let’s dive right into our favourite styles and the 10 sets you need in your wardrobe. Midi skirts are a top trend in Summer 2024 and the voluminous silhouette is balanced perfectly by a crop top. Opt for this top-rated Twenty Dresses by Nykaa Fashion co-ord set that is colourful enough for the daytime but has a black base to effortlessly transition it into the night. Pair the co-ord set with bright strappy heels to complement the colours.
Whether you’re travelling or stepping out for a coffee date, nothing beats the comfort of joggers and t-shirts. The loose-fit lavender knit co-ord from Rigo is a bestseller with reviewers vouching for its great quality and fit. Pair it with a matching cap for the daytime or wear it with statement sneakers for an athleisure look. While the ombre and abstract print shirt and trouser sets are very much in style, we love the simplicity of the blue FableStreet co-ord set. It has an oversized fit for a streetwear vibe and is made of comfortable and breathable linen, making it ideal for the summer. The ease and convenience of wearing kurtas make them the most convenient ethnic wear option. But finding the right bottom is always a hassle – How to find a matching or complementary bottom? Can you simply wear black leggings? We recommend this bestseller co-ord set from Likha, which is exclusively available on Nykaa Fashion.
Corporate-coded clothing is in trend right now and you must have a blazer co-ord for your next work brunch or party. Opt for the blazer set from Kassually that is also available in a stunning blue shade. It transitions seamlessly into the weekend party vibes and customers also love its fit and say it is worth buying.
Jump on the hot-pink trend this summer and upgrade your vacation look with the neon three-piece set from Ordinaree. Whether you’re sipping cocktails by the pool or off to the beach, the crop top and skirt will help you look stunning while the shrug will provide coverage when required. You can also style the skirt or top with basic white pieces – making your luggage lighter.
Going for the movies or to your favourite picnic spot? Experience the comfort of your favourite t-shirt and shorts combo without giving up on style with co-ords. Opt for the Gen-Z favourite brand The Souled Store’s printed set for a cute look. If you’re not into prints, you can also opt for solid sets that have also received rave reviews.
Your boss-girling needs come first and planning outfits should not be a task that takes more than 2 minutes. We can guarantee the highly-rated three-piece co-ord from social-media-approved brand Mabish By Sonal Jain will become your go-to as soon as it reaches you. The jacket’s silhouette adds a sleek touch to your look, while the top and bottom can be matched with virtually any jacket. The set is available in three more shades for your personal preferences.
From the 80s-trend-inspired corset to the chic contrast piping – the Mish Luxe co-ord set has it all! The white piping adds a slimming effect, while the tie-up bow designs on the shoulders take its trendy appeal to another level. Wear the co-ord set with embellished block heels or bedazzled low-tops for concerts, music shows, and weekend outings.
Kaftans help you achieve a stylish look that requires little to no effort and is breathable enough to keep you cool and comfortable. Created by designer Rishi Vibhuti for Gajra Gang, the top-rated kaftan and palazzo co-ord is the perfect choice for summer weddings and cocktail parties. It features embellishments and sequins around the plunging neckline and is available in two festive colours – pink and yellow.
We hope you find the inspiration you need to add co-ord sets to your wardrobe. If you want to check out more options, head on to our The Co-ord Club curation for the latest styles.
