Co-ord sets are one of the easiest ways to look effortlessly put-together. A matching top and bottom takes the guesswork out of getting dressed — and when done right, a co-ord looks like a considered, intentional outfit with minimal effort. Here's everything you need to know about styling co-ords from Liel Designs.
What Is a Co-ord Set?
A co-ord (short for coordinated) set is a matching two-piece outfit — typically a top and trousers, a top and skirt, or a jacket and shorts. The pieces are designed to be worn together but can also be mixed and matched with other wardrobe staples for maximum versatility.
The Smart-Casual Co-ord
For a polished daytime look that works from brunch to a casual office, try our Contrast Trim Top and Slit Pants Set. The contrast trim detailing gives it an elevated, intentional finish. Style with heeled mules and a structured bag for a complete smart-casual look.
The Plus-Size Co-ord
Co-ords are incredibly flattering for plus-size figures because the matching fabric creates a seamless, elongating effect. Our Full Size Plaid Button-Up Shirt and Pants Set is a brilliant example — the plaid print adds personality while the relaxed fit ensures all-day comfort.
The Casual Co-ord
For weekends and relaxed days, a casual co-ord is your best friend. Our Zip-Up Hoodie and Wide-Leg Pants Set is the ultimate comfort co-ord — wear it as a matching set with chunky trainers or style the trousers with a fitted crop top for a more elevated casual look.
How to Style a Co-ord: 3 Golden Rules
- Keep accessories minimal: The co-ord is already doing the work — let it shine with simple jewellery and a clean bag
- Play with footwear: The same co-ord can look casual with trainers or dressed up with heels — footwear changes everything
- Mix and match: Don't be afraid to wear the top with jeans or the trousers with a different blouse — co-ords give you two outfits in one
