Dresses Are Dead: These Are The Co-ords Everyone’s Wearing These Days

Whether you’re heading to the airport, the beach, or brunch, there’s a matching set that’ll do the styling for you.

Celebs have long been clued in. Rihanna was recently spotted in a striped cropped shirt and top over the weekend and Zendaya’s worn custom skirt suits and slouchy sets on red carpets and press tours, while the likes of Hailey Bieber and Lori Harvey have been spotted in everything from sporty two-pieces to sleek matching knits. And it’s not just a red-carpet thing, scroll your feed right now and you’ll spot influencers and editors alike leaning into the ‘I didn’t try, but still look great’ magic of the co-ord.

On the high street, Damson Madder has a sweet gingham set that’s made for summer picnics, while Zara’s ribbed-knit skirt and crop top combo is giving vacation-ready energy with minimal effort. Alo Yoga is leading the charge on sportier options - think sculpting leggings and crop tops you can wear to Pilates and the smoothie run after.

Best of all, co-ords take the guesswork out of getting dressed. You don’t have to think about matching textures, colours, or silhouettes it’s all built in. You can wear the pieces together for an easy outfit or split them up with other staples to stretch your wardrobe further. From soft tailoring to playful prints to sleek gym wear, there’s a co-ord out there for every style and setting. Consider it your shortcut to looking polished in five second's flat.
