Essentially a suit for softies – it looks smart and makes you smile
Meet the coord. Matching separates, but in knit or jersey or silk, with no tailoring. It is essentially a suit for softies, and I am quite into this as an emotional tone. In a coord you are wearing two matching pieces, so you get that vibe of having made a decisive, deliberate choice about your look. But not being structured like a traditional suit means that this look is not stiff. Best of all, if you are wearing a coord then you are not afraid to embrace fashion.
A coord will always have an element of boldness in its colour or print or detail – it must, to qualify as a coord. You can’t just wear a plain navy jumper and a skirt in the same colour. That’s cheating.
