How to Style a Co-ord Set for Every Occasion

A co-ord set already looks styled, so keep the rest simple. Change the shoes and one layer to change the occasion: sneakers for a flight, sandals for the beach, heels for dinner and a blazer for work. Wear the pieces separately to double your outfits.

Why co-ord sets are easy

A co-ord set is a top and bottom made from the same fabric or print. The matching does the styling for you, so you only have to choose shoes and one extra layer.

AOBA has a wide range, from linen and cotton sets to printed crepe, with ₹999 as the lowest price. If you are choosing a set, our co-ord sets page compares fabrics and prices.

Break the set up

One set gives you three or four outfits.

Top with jeans

The printed or textured top works with plain denim.

Bottom with a white shirt

Wide-leg pants or a skirt look smart with a plain shirt.

Top over a swimsuit

A cropped top and shorts over a bikini turns into beach wear.

Bottom with a bodysuit

Pair the bottom with a fitted bodysuit for an evening look.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Wearing the same shoes for every plan. Shoes change the mood of a set more than anything else.
  • Ignoring fabric. Linen and cotton for heat, crepe for travel, satin for dinners.
  • Going too loose on both pieces. If the top is relaxed, pick a bottom with more shape, and the other way round.
  • Skipping a third layer. A shirt or blazer makes a set look finished.
