We’re fashion editors & here’s our pick of summer co-ords

THE summer co-ord set has become a high-street fave. Stylish and easy to put together, the simple co-ord has upped its game this season.

Perfect for any occasion, these matching sets are effortless to wear and make you look really put-together!

So whether you’re dressing up for a special event or keeping it casual for a day out, there is a co-ord just for you.

There are a wide variety of styles available, ranging from shirts and shorts to waistcoats and more tailored options – we’ve even selected a look that’s ideal for the office.

And you get more bang for your buck as you don’t always have to wear the pieces together – you can style them separately with other items from your wardrobe for endless outfit choices.

Our fashion team is here to show you how they are styling their favourite co-ords this summer.

When I think of a co-ord for summer, I often think of a shirt and shorts, but this year I’m loving a midi skirt version.

This one from Zara is perfect for holidays – blue and white scream summer, and the fabric is lightweight and floaty.

Add a pair of sandals and a raffia bag and I’m ready to jet off on my hols!

I have more co-ords in my summer wardrobe than anything else, and this particular set from River Island has become my favourite.

I adore the attention to detail – the gold stitching and the diamante embellishments add a special touch.

Paired with cowboy boots, it’s perfect for a festival, but would look just as stunning thrown over a bikini at a beach club.

I love this set from George – so simple and slightly oversized, with a colour that packs a punch. 

Plus, I know I can pair this blazer with denim or other looks in my wardrobe to create more outfits. 

And customers have given it five stars online, saying: “The quality is amazing.”

I love a co-ord for work because it’s the easiest look to put together when I’m in a rush in the morning.

This linen pinstripe two-piece is perfect for the office even when the air conditioning has been cranked up!

The long-line waistcoat and wide-leg trousers are contemporary as well as smart – and I feel like a boss in it!
