When it comes to easy styling, few pieces are as versatile or make an impression quite like a co-ord. Good alone, but even better together, co-ords and matching sets can be worn on so many different occasions, from travel-friendly fits to striking business-deal suits. And we love them all.
But once you’ve secured the perfect dynamic duo, you might be wondering how to style it. Fear not, co-ord cuties, the fashionistas here at SilkFred have put together the ultimate guide to styling co-ord sets. Let’s get to work…
How To Wear A Co-Ord Everyday
Looking for a casual co-ord that you can throw on and go to the shops in? Or perhaps you have a coffee date with mum and you want something comfy yet trendy to wear to the local caff. Look no further than the trouser co-ord.
This is the easiest way to create an instant killer outfit, whilst putting bare min effort into it. To style, simply pair with some chunky white trainers and your fave sunnies, and you’re ready to leave the house. Easy peasy.
Top tip: Never underestimate the magic of a belt! Adding a belt to your trouser co-ord is a great way to add dimension to your outfit and break up the colour or pattern. Plus, it cinches in your waist, too. Win win!
How To Wear A Co-Ord To A Party
It’s party time, baby! There’s nothing we love more than a sleek two-set for a night out with the girls dancing. There are so many different styles, colours and cuts of going out co-ords, that there’s enough to go out every night of the week (but we won’t…).
Whether you’ve opted for a chic one-shoulder number or a dazzling sequin set, it’s easy to style your co-ord. Pick out a clutch or handbag which compliments the colours, and slide into your dancing shoes. Accessorise with some dainty minimalistic jewellery and pair with a bold lip, if you’re feeling extra. You’re ready to boogie the night away.

How To Wear A Co-Ord On Holiday
Low-maintenance babes, rejoice. The holiday co-ord has arrived and it’s a top and skirt combo. Light, breezy, and works just like a dress but even more impactful. From tiered maxi skirts with matching cami tops to airy beachy twin-sets, there are a hundred different variations to choose from.
To accessorise, add some gold or silver jewellery (depending on your preference) and slide into your favourite strappy sandals. Add a tote bag if you’re heading out for a beach day, or switch your bag for a cute clutch and you’re ready for cocktails by the poolside! Simply stunning.
How To Wear A Co-Ord To The Office
The OG co-ord, a power suit, is the ultimate way to feel confident as you strut into that office. It’s a good idea to invest in a well-fitted blazer co-ord in black or navy, that you can wear time and time again. But, if you like to make more of a statement, then a little colour never hurt. Consider investing in a bright-coloured suit, like green or pink, to show your boss you mean business.
To style, go for some comfy yet formal loafers or Mary Janes – or, if your dresscode is super strict, pick out some sophisticated court shoe heels. Just make sure to give them a test run before your first day.

How To Wear A Co-Ord When Travelling
Looking for an airport fit that serves comfy chic? A loungewear co-ord is just the ticket. Available in so many different colours and prints, and you can mix and match the pieces, it’s hard to only have one set in your closet. What’s more, it’s easy to throw on, but still makes you look put together – even if it’s 4 am at the airport lounge! That’s our kind of styling.
Don’t worry about accessorising with this one, just slip on your favourite pair of trainers and grab your trust headphones and you’re ready to embark on your adventure. Safe travels!
