Leaf Print T-Shirt & Crop Trousers
First up, let's talk about the Short Sleeve Leaf Print T-Shirt paired with the Leaf Print Jersey Wide Leg Cropped Elasticated Trousers. This t-shirt and trouser set screams summer with its bold tropical pattern and crop length. For a relaxed yet put-together look, tuck the tee slightly into the waistband of the trousers to define your shape. Add a pair of chunky sandals and oversized sunglasses to complete the laid-back, beachy feel. Don't forget a straw hat for those brighter days when you’ll need protection from the sun!
Ikat Vest and Trousers
Next, we're swooning over the Sleeveless Ikat Print V-Neck Vest matched with the Ikat Print Crinkle Elasticated Trousers. This breezy ensemble is perfect for a casual day out or perhaps a coffee date with friends. The key here is to let the print do the talking. Keep accessories minimal with a delicate pendant necklace and a simple wrist cuff. Slip into some comfy canvas trainers or flats, and you're good to go!
Ikat Print Notch Neck Linen Top & Trousers
Create a playful and fun look with the Short Sleeve Ikat Print Notch Neck Linen Top and the Wide Leg trousers to match. This co-ord set is all about combining prints and textures to create a bold outfit, ideal for somebody who isn’t scared of standing out from the crowd. Tuck the tee into the high-waisted trousers to accentuate your waistline. Throw on a denim jacket or a lightweight cardigan for those cooler evenings. Complete the outfit with your favourite slip-ons or platform sandals.
Sleeveless Leaf Print Linen Blend Top & Button Through Skirt
Last but not least, we have the Sleeveless Leaf Print Linen Blend Top paired with the Palm Button Through Elasticated Skirt. This sophisticated set is ideal for a more formal, polished appearance this summer. Style it up with statement earrings and a structured tote bag.

8 Styling Tips for Wearing Co-ords with Confidence
Mix and Match Accessories
Co-ord sets often come in bold patterns or solid colours, so experiment with accessories to complement or contrast with your outfit. Add a statement necklace, stackable bracelets, or a colourful scarf to personalise your look.
Play with Proportions
Balance your co-ord set by playing with proportions. If you're wearing a fitted top, opt for wide-leg trousers or a flowing skirt, and vice versa. This creates visual interest and adds dimension to your outfit.
Layer Strategically
Layering can elevate your co-ord look. Throw on a denim jacket, blazer, or lightweight cardigan over your set for cooler weather or to add a touch of sophistication.
Experiment with Footwear
Depending on the occasion, switch up your footwear to suit your co-ord set. Pair it with sneakers for a casual day out, sandals for a beachy feel, or heels for a dressier look.
Try Tucks and Knots
Tucking in the top or tying a knot at the waist of your co-ord set can create a more tailored and flattering silhouette. Play around with different styles to see what works best for you.
Choose Flattering Outerwear
Choose a coat or jacket that complements your co-ord set. A leather jacket adds edge, while a trench coat brings sophistication to your outfit.
Opt for Versatility
Invest in co-ord sets with pieces that can be styled separately. Mix the top with jeans or the bottoms with a different top to create new looks and maximise wardrobe versatility.
Confidence is Key
Lastly, the most important styling tip is to wear your co-ord set with confidence! Own your look, and let your personality shine through. After all, fashion is all about expressing yourself. With these styling tips, you'll be able to effortlessly style and rock any of our co-ord sets.
When to Wear Co-ords?
Lacking inspiration? Here are some occasions where you can confidently sport a co-ord set:
Beach or Resort Wear
Opt for a lightweight co-ord set with a breezy fabric like cotton or linen for beach vacations or resort getaways. Coordinate with a wide-brimmed hat and sandals for a chic beach-ready ensemble.
Summer Parties
For summer gatherings or outdoor parties, co-ord sets are a great choice. Select sets with vibrant colours or eye-catching patterns to stand out. Pair with statement earrings and wedges to elevate your look.
Work or Business Meetings
Depending on the workplace dress code, you can wear co-ord sets to work or business meetings. Choose tailored sets in classic colours or subtle patterns for a polished and professional appearance.
Casual Outings
Co-ord sets are perfect for casual outings like brunch with friends, shopping trips, or a stroll in the park. Choose a comfortable and relaxed set in playful prints or solid colours for a laid-back yet stylish look.
Evening Events
Dress up your co-ord set with elegant accessories like a clutch bag, heels, and sparkling jewellery for evening events such as dinners, cocktails, or date nights.
Festivals and Concerts
Co-ord sets are comfortable and stylish options for music festivals or outdoor concerts. Select sets with bohemian prints or denim fabric and pair them with ankle boots or sneakers for a trendy festival look.
Travelling in Style
Travelling doesn't mean sacrificing style! Co-ord sets are airport-friendly and can keep you looking put-together during long journeys. Choose wrinkle-resistant fabrics and layer with a cardigan or scarf for versatility.
Bridal or Baby Showers
Consider wearing a feminine co-ord set featuring delicate details or pastel hues for special occasions like bridal showers or baby showers. Add a touch of glam with dainty jewellery and strappy sandals.
