This Classy 2-Part Outfit Will Make Getting Dressed So Much Easier This Spring
If you've ever stared into your wardrobe and drawn a blank on what to wear, then I'm about to introduce to to a game-changing fashion formula. Heralded by the style set as a smart, sophisticated and supremely classy combination, those in the know are shopping for matching blazer and skirt co-ords this season.
Creating an elegant silhouette that retains a structured and smart feel, the combination of a matching blazer and skirt has become a go-to amongst celebrities and influencers alike this year. Recently seen on Elsa Hosk, who wore her structured blazer with a coordinating tonal miniskirt and slingback heels, the model leaned into the elevated nature of the set, finishing hers with a brown Birkin bag and gold, oversized studs. These simple accessories worked with the classy co-ord to create an elevated ensemble that was both high-impact and low-effort.
Whilst Hosk went for a prim tweed effect, European women are experimenting with the pairing in a number of ways. From leather-clad combos to relaxed and roomy silhouettes, there's no shortage of options when it comes to styling this two-piece set.
The beauty of a co-ord is its versatility. Matching blazers and skirts wear so well together, but both pieces can hold their weight on their own too—level up the cost-per-wear by pairing the blazer with jeans and tailored trousers, and the skirt with shirting, blouses, T-shirts and vests.
Whether you're looking for a chic yet easy office-ready outfit or a simple, stylish weekend look, a blazer-and-skirt duo deserves a place in your wardrobe. From Me+Em's joyful pink set to Zara's playful two-piece, read on to discover our edit of the best to shop this season.

Get into the springtime spirit with a healthy hit of pink.
This voluminous skirt looks equally as chic with flats or slingback heels.
The wool skirt trend is taking off this season.
Everyone needs a classic black blazer in their capsule wardrobe.
