I Can't Stop Wearing Co-Ords—16 Sets I'm Into for Autumn
Autumn has only just appeared, but I've already saved four co-ords to my basket. I'm not the only one, some of our favourite fashion people have pulled out the simple-to-style sets for the transitional period. There's knit styles, classic suiting, skirts and trousers alike, in washes of neutral and a few pops of colour.
The reason I love them? They’re just so easy. With minimal effort needed, you can throw on a matching set and it’ll instantly make you look put together. Not only this, I see them as a two-for-one buy considering you can break up the duo and wear them as separates from other staples in your existing wardrobe. And this cost per wear justifies my need for the four sets I bought (that’s what I’m telling myself, anyway.) So, seeing as I see myself as a bit of a co-ord expert, I’ve found the best ones to shop for autumn. Trust me—you’ll wear these so many times you’ll wonder how you ever got dressed without them.
How to Style Co-Ords:
Style Notes: Co-ords come in all shapes and sizes, from comfy loungewear to elevated evening attire.
Style Notes: The brilliance of a co-ord is that the styling takes very little. Any shoe will do and a pair of sunnies are always a nice touch.
Style Notes: Tailoring is primed for easy combinations. From wide-leg trousers to mini skirts, there's some great tailored co-ords around this season.
Style Notes: If sharp shades pique your interest, make like Charlotte and follow through with a bold lip and metallic jewellery.
Shop Best Co-Ords
An easy set that can be worn with trainers, loafers, heels and more.
A classic cable knit features in so many great wardrobes.
I'd also pair this top with classic blue jeans, or tailored trousers.
The collarless neck and fitted waist give a designer feel to this co-ord.
Don't forget that tailoring can make for a great co-ord.
A great cardigan for any outfit.
Add knee-high brown boots and you're ready.
