It’s springtime now and with the summer-ready collections hitting our favourite stores – we’ve already rounded up the best straw bags and spring dresses – this is the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe. One of the easiest ways to transition from spring to summer is with an arsenal of great co-ords – with matching tops and bottoms, this wardrobe staple is surprisingly easy to style.
For those who want to keep things simple, a linen shorts co-ord in neutral tones – think cream, camel, khaki or black – is a must. If you are looking for that pop of colour, then & Zara and Hush have two-pieces in vibrant shades such as moss green and bubblegum pink. Just pair the set with flat sandals, a wicker bag and sunglasses for a chic summer look.
There are also trouser options if you want a summer co-ord that’s suitable for work or eveningwear – Cos, Arket and again Zara are good places to look.
Skirt-wise, the harlequin two-piece from & Other Stories is simply sensational – check it out on Instagram queen Katherine Ormerod below.
As for more high-end version, Sleeper’s pyjama-style sets remain popular and look amazing on. Team with heels and statement jewellery for maximum impact.
