Matchy-matchy two pieces are what the sartorial world called co-ords today. Recently, they have become the best trope in fashion. Although they were designed to be dressed together, they work equally great apart, more versatile than your cocktail dress or office suit and more practical than jumpsuits. Either you wear co-ords separately or matchy-matchy, they can be worn in many different looks and I just love the co-ords trends. But how do we avoid looking like we have just stepped out from bed in pyjamas?? because wearing matching sets can be quite tricky at times if you don’t pick up the right styles according to your body.
Co-ords are definitely having a moment. This 70’s trend has made a comeback a while ago and by the looks of it seems it’s here to stay. In case you are wondering what is a co-ord, which might sound like a weird name, just know you are not alone. Coordinates or co-ord means a matching top and a bottom wear or matching separates might be one way to put it.
You will love it more for its versatility. They are designed in a way that they are supposed to be worn as a set, but they go equally well apart. Although they are not always identical, some have the same colour, some have the same pattern, some have a reverse pattern, but they will always have one thing that connects them together.
Remember the time when your mother dressed you up in ‘sets’? Well, it’s become a thing now- a hot, high-fashion thing which everyone has loved for quite some time and the only reason being, it’s fabulous. And as they say, don’t deny it until you have tried it.
You’ve probably noticed the scope of celebrities, bloggers and fashion enthusiasts who regularly rock tops n pant that match and the amount of stores and sites selling matching sets, but you might not have bit the bullet and tried the look out for yourself (which you should—these outfits are perfect for winters.)
