Even the quickest of glances at Instagram will tell you that co-ords continue to be big news in fashion circles. During the pandemic, knitted pairings came to the fore and have stayed strong ever since. Over this summer we saw an influx of linen two-pieces and now that autumn has hit, I’m pleased to say that co-ords—of every variety—are going nowhere. The reason they’re so enduringly popular? An easy yet chic all-in-one, a co-ord requires minimum effort while offering maximum style points.
Along with their ever-growing popularity amongst influencers, co-ords are also firm favourites on the runway, with matching separates being spotted in Stella McCartney’s, Zadig & Voltaire’s and Ralph Lauren’s autumn/winter 22 ready-to-wear collections to name a few. Street style stars can’t ignore a two-piece either, with combos popping up in every city from London and Paris to Stockholm and New York.
When it comes to styling, keep your accessories simple and let the matching set take centre stage. This autumn, pair your two-pieces with sleek trainers or chunky boots and add sumptuous layers to combat the tricky weather; think biker jackets, shearling coats, gilets and trenches.
