Co-ord sets are having a major moment! So we’ve asked KARA BENSLEY, founder of The Wyld Shop, to show us a few from her Joo Chiat boutique and tell us why these effortlessly chic sets deserve a spot in your wardrobe.
#1 Versatility for every occasion
Co-ord sets – or matching sets – are two perfectly paired pieces in the same fabric, pattern or colourway. And at The Wyld Shop, you’ll find a range of gorgeous sets all handpicked by Kara from brands like Minkpink, Staple the Label and One Puram. Think crop tops with flowy skirts and tailored blouses with sleek shorts.
One of the biggest reasons co-ord sets are a wardrobe essential? Their versatility. “The mix-and-match combos can be endless,” says Kara. “They can carry you through seasons and are perfect travel outfits!” Wear the set together for an effortlessly and instantly polished look, or switch it up and pair each piece with other wardrobe staples like your favourite pair of jeans or a simple tank. You’ll get so many outfit options with just a few sets in your wardrobe (or suitcase!).
#2 Co-ord sets are packed with personality
Co-ords aren’t just about being easy to wear, it’s also a chance to have fun with fashion. Kara herself loves to play with “bold prints, playful designs and cool textures” and co-ords are the perfect way to do that. The Wyld Shop offers co-ord sets in tropical florals, vibrant hues and head-turning patterns. So there’s a matching set for every mood. Want to add a bit of extra drama to your look? Don’t be afraid to take it up a notch by swapping pieces between different sets too.
#3 Flattering fits and silhouettes
Worried about finding a set that works for you? Don’t be. “Some brands offer really relaxed silhouettes that can flatter a variety of sizes,” says Kara. From structured tops matched with flowy bottoms that highlight your waist, to comfy elastic waistbands and breezy cuts that take you from brunch to the beach, co-ords can be both flattering and fuss-free. You can even mix sizes with some styles – think a larger top with a smaller bottom, or vice versa – so you get the perfect fit that suits your body shape.
#4 Time-saving co-ord sets with minimal effort
Co-ord sets are one of the easiest ways to look put together with zero stress, perfect for busy bees juggling appointments, family and everything in between. “They can be a time-saving way to look fun, fierce and fab with minimal effort,” Kara says. Whether you’re running errands, heading to lunch or jetting off on holiday, one single set can take you far. “Just change up the shoes and earrings, pop on some cute shades and you’re done!”
