A co-ord set takes the guesswork out of getting dressed. The top and bottom are made to match, so the outfit looks put together before you add anything. The trick is changing the shoes, layers and accessories so the same set suits different occasions. Start with the fit Because both pieces are meant to be worn together, check each one on its own: the top should sit where you want it to end, and the bottom should be comfortable at the waist when you sit down. Compare your measurements with the size chart before ordering, since the two pieces may need different sizes. 5 ways to wear it 1. Day out with sneakers White or neutral sneakers and a small bag keep a co-ord set relaxed. Good for errands, cafés and travel days. 2. Dressed up with heels or heeled sandals Swap the shoes and add simple jewellery. The matching pieces already do the work, so keep everything else minimal. 3. Add a jacket A denim or bomber jacket over a co-ord set adds a layer for cooler evenings without breaking up the colour story. 4. Wear the top with jeans Pair the top with your favourite jeans for a casual outfit. The set then gives you two looks from one purchase. 5. Wear the bottom with a plain tee A solid-colour tee or shirt with the matching trousers or skirt is quick and comfortable, and it keeps the print or texture as the focus. Co-ord sets to try A few sets from our collection, for women and men. Making the most of it Keep accessories simple: a printed or textured set needs little else. Mind the colour: if you wear the pieces apart, choose partners in a neutral shade that appears in the set. Wash them together: following the label, so the colour fades evenly and the pair keeps matching.
