Co-ords or coordinates have become really popular only recently but in reality, they’ve been around since the 1600’s. Co-ords are nothing but two or more pieces of garment that are made in a matching fabric, colours or styles. The advantage about co-ords is that they can either be worn together or be worn as separate pieces of clothing.

Co-ord fashion is easy, less stiff/formal and definitely a whole lot of fun. You can find different types of co-ords online and in stores. Some of these types are:

  1. Skirt and Top co-ord
  2. Pant and Top co-ord
  3. Shorts and Top co-ord
  4. Athleisure co-ord set
  5. Kaftan and Pant co-ord set

For a more formal look, go for a co-ord that comes with a pant or a skirt. That way, styling office wear won’t be that much of a hassle when you mix and match the pieces with other garments.

Check out this gorgeous olive green co-ord set below. The top can be worn with a different pant too while the 3/4th pant could use a plain top or a kurti to do justice to it.

You can find this set on the Shop101 app. Shop the look by using the product code below the image.

Another good option is this floral number that can also be found on the Shop101 app. Wear it to a brunch or simply wear it to a casual coffee outing; the floral print never fails to impress.

If you want a more relaxed fit or if you’re someone who likes to keep it sporty, here’s a co-ord set inspirtation for you. All you need is the right pair of sneakers and you’re good to go!

If you notice, most social media influencers have been sporting this look for a while now. This means that you can find many small businesses selling this type of a set online. But if you want a co-ord set from a more reliable store, then check out the Shop101 app and find your style.

The best part about this trend is that it is unisex! Men also have stylish co-ords that can add more variety to their wardrobe. For instance, check out Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor wearing this uniquely styled co-ord set below. It’s a 3 piece formal, trendy and chic co-ord set that can be worn to a nice cocktail party.

Here’s a similar option for women as well. It’s a classic black and something that you can never go wrong with.

Do you think you will get yourself a co-ord set? What kind of a set would you rather prefer?- A trendy one or a casual looking one?
