Six co-ord sets to bridge the gap between smart and casual

Six co-ord sets to bridge the gap between smart and casual

We don’t know about you but, after more than a year spent wearing sweats and nap dresses, figuring out how to dress for the outside world is proving more difficult than we anticipated!

We’re excited to do our hair and put on some make-up, yes. But going back to wearing restrictive clothing you can’t wait to change out of at the end of the day? That’s something we just can’t do!

To that end, we’re turning to co-ord sets, the ultimate “I made an effort but could easily climb under the duvet in this” outfit! Here are some of our tops picks for our fellow comfy dressers out there…

Geometric print shirt and trousers, £99.98, Zara

Though it’s no secret that Zara is the master of designer looks at high street prices, this stunning geometric print shirt and trousers set is concrete proof! Slip into this stylish co-ord with brightly coloured sandals for a striking spring look. 

Pinstripe waistcoat and trousers, £78, Urban Outfitters

We’re quite literally obsessed with this smart casual look by Urban Outfitters. As perfect for brunch dates as it is for a spring stroll, style this look with a vest and flats for the season ahead. 

Y.A.S knitted top and midi skirt co-ord set, £48.75, Asos

Just because you don’t like trousers or shorts, it doesn’t mean co-ord sets are out of the question. Just take a look at this gorgeous lilac look from Y.A.S, which will have you ready to go out the door in a matter of seconds.

Beach Riot tank top and trousers, £157, Revolve

Summer is just around the corner! Make sure you’re ready for warmer days with this stunning psychedelic tank top and cropped trouser set. It would be perfect for beach days or your summer staycation. 

Puff sleeve crop top and wide leg trousers, £58, River Island

We all know it’s hard to go wrong with an all-black outfit. That’s why we’re adding this textured crop top and wide-leg trousers outfit to our closet immediately!

Balloon sleeve top and peg leg trouser co-ord, £279, Ted Baker

If you’re searching for the chicest co-ord set out there, look no further than this gorgeous outfit by Ted Baker. Wear it with trainers for an effortlessly elegant off-duty look or dress it up with heels for the office. You’ll look stunning either way.
