Looking for outfits that look good all year long? Well, there are very few pieces of clothing that look good on all body types and across different seasons and occasions. And that, my dear friend, is the humble co ord set.
This matching top and bottom wear is so versatile that it looks good in every season, given we style it the right way. More than styling, it also depends on the fabric, the length, the colours, the accessories, and the print. Co ord sets when chosen and styled right can instantly refresh your wardrobe from boring old jeans and a plain T-shirt. So let’s look at co-ord styling tips for different seasons.
- Spring Season Styling Tips
Spring season is all about flowers blooming into a magnificence. The climate is fresh and breezy, and we are in the sweet spot between winter and summer when the sun’s out but the heat is refined in. This serves as great inspiration for your co ord sets as well. Here are a few tips on how you can wear a co ord set in the spring.
Fabric: Opt for flowing fabrics such as georgettes, chiffon, silk, or even synthetic materials such as rayon or polyester.
Print & Colours: Since it is spring, opt for bright florals, leaves, animal prints, abstract art, geometric shapes, and so much more. Spring is the season to step out and have fun under the sun, so don’t shy away from bringing your inner child out.
Footwear: Opt for open-toed heels or sandals, you can also go with more traditional footwear that adds that extra bling to your outfit.
Accessories: Don’t forget to carry your sunglasses, bag, and your lip gloss to shine brighter than the sun.
- Summer Season Styling Tips
Summer is when a lot of people start getting angsty due to the heat and exhaustion, the perfect time to wear a co ord set since they are so comfortable and breezy. Summers are meant to be about blue skies, colourful popsicles, and pool parties, the perfect time for you to boast your bold colours. Here’s how you can style your co ord set during the summer season.
Fabric: Since it will be hot outside, choose fabrics that are lightweight and made of breathable material such as cotton and linen. This will ensure the heat is not trapped within the fabric and you have space to move around.
Prints & Colours: We recommend busting your bright reds, yellows, oranges, and greens for the season. You can go with thick stripes, checks, or even monochromatic colours that reflect the essence of the season well.
Footwear: Strappy sandals, sliders, clogs, or anything that doesn’t make your feet feel suffocated in the heat is the ideal footwear choice to make during summer.
Accessories: Along with your sunglasses, carry a hat, a portable fan, some icy cold water, and a handkerchief to wipe off that sweat. Choose bigger bags such as totes that hold all your items during summer, because trust me you don’t want to be holding onto things when the heat gets crazy.
- Rainy Season Styling Tips
The rainy season is the most difficult time to style outfits because of the wet weather. Clothes don’t dry and puddles make your pants dirty. The best solution to this is a co ord set with a half pant or a short skirt. Here are a few styling tips for the rainy season.
Fabric: Nylon, cotton, or lycra dries faster than most material making them ideal for the rainy weather.
Prints & Colours: Choose darker solid colours and prints that will camouflage the wet, stained spots if you get drenched in the rain.
Footwear: Gumboots, slippers, sliders, and kitos are all great options during the season as they are made of materials that don’t get stained or wet for long.
Accessories: Either a poncho, raincoat, or umbrella should be on you at all times to not get swept up in the rain, carry a napkin to wipe your face and hands, and makeup to reapply.
- Autumn Season Styling Tips
As we transition from wetter seasons to drier, autumn or fall is the perfect season for a mood shift. It helps us prepare better for the winter months while also helping us stay stylish. Here are a few styling tips for a co ord set for the fall season.
Fabric: Denim, flannels, corduroy, fleece, and leather are all good options as they look really good on Indian skin tones and body types while also keeping us toasty on the inside.
Prints & Colours: Choose quintessential autumn colours such as deep reds, blues, greens, burnt orange, maroon, and brown. These colours go well with the environment outside making for Instagram-worthy pictures every time.
Footwear: Sneakers and boots are good choices, they add that oomph to your earthy vibe of the season.
Accessories: A tote bag, a trendy headpiece, some earthy-toned makeup, and a scarf can go a long way during autumn.
- Winter Season Styling Tips
If you belong to a region that experiences a hardcore winter season, then you need to layer up for the cold. Add either layer of innerwear or outerwear along with your co ord set to keep you warm yet hot. Here are a few styling tips for the winter season for co ord sets.
Fabric: Wool, knit, velvet, cashmere, fur, and fleece are good fabrics that keep the body temperature under control so you can survive the cold.
Prints & Colours: If you want to match the vibe outside, choose shades of black, white, and grey, or we recommend continuing the autumn shades, maybe just a tad bit darker. The plain, cold background really brings out the colours of your outfit.
Footwear: Knee-length boots, heavy-duty shoes, and sneakers can all keep you warm during this season.
Accessories: A jacket on the outside or a turtle neck on the inside is a must. A scarf, a small bag, and some bold lipstick will get you through the season unscathed.
Parting Thoughts
Co ord sets are versatile enough that you can wear and style them for any season. Simply pay heed to the fabric, colour, print, and accessories to suit the weather and the vibe of the season, and you will have yourself a referred wardrobe with trendy styles for your co ord set.
