It’s been a number of years since co-ords made a comeback. And they have become a staple in our wardrobes because, 1) you just look like you’ve got your life all put together when you’re wearing them; 2) they are easy to style for lazy days, minimising the hassle of searching in your closet for pieces that match, and you know these simply look good together; and 3) they can also be worn as separates, giving you more bang for your buck.
For your closet spring-clean, take style inspiration from our #ootds below and invest in some fancy co-ords.

Spring Fashion Update: 5 Cool Co-Ords to Rock (and What to Pair Them With)_gallery
1. Not-so-serious workwear

Just because it’s workwear, doesn’t mean it has to be black and boring, This light blush pink blazer shorts set brings a dose of cheer and fun into your work ensemble, and is a great balance between formal and casual. We paired it with a cami and floral print shoes for a feminine and sassy touch. If you need to make it even more suitable for a ‘white-collar’ job, you can always pair it with a black turtleneck, black loafers and small studded earrings.
Stella McCartney wool twill double-breasted blazer US$1,741.88 (S$2,353.25), and wool twill shorts US$627.08 (S$847.17), from Net-a-Porter.
V-neck top, S$34.95 from H&M.

2. Pure elegance

If you’re lucky enough to have a working place that doesn’t define your clothes as long as you’re presentable, this is a cute co-ord set that would work for you. The stretch-knit top boasts long sleeves — that counterbalance the exposed shoulder — and an elegant satin trim that is also found on its matching maxi, making the overall look both beautiful and comfortable. We’ve paired this with black low-key ankle boots for a monochrome vibe, but added a blush blue bag to give your look a burst of colour.
Sid Neigum one-shoulder satin-trimmed stretch-knit top US$291.61 (S$393.96), and wrap-effect satin-trimmed stretch-knit maxi skirt US$283.35 (S$382.80) from Net-a-Porter.

3. Fun in the sun

Given Singapore’s weather during the spring months, we need clothes that are light, airy and breathable. That is why a shorts-and-crop-top ensemble is a fantastic addition to your wardrobe. To add that ‘Instagram model’ vibe, we’ve paired this sunflower print set with a velvet turban, Ray-Ban shades and tan accessories. You’re looking Bali-ready, honey.
Sunflower top and shorts two piece set, S$26.47 from Zaful.

4. Street-style

Our love for denim will never die. Nor will our love for double-denim — especially a cheeky matching set. To keep to the theme of casual yet edgy, we’ve paired this light wash number with a Gucci print bodysuit, white sneakers and a mesh detailed rucksack. Finish off the 90’s style with a black scrunchie for your ponytail.
Denim jacket and matching denim shorts, S$96.90 from Topshop.

5. Weekend no-stress vibes

Soft and floaty, yet sophisticated — that is the aim of the game with this look. Wear the long top over the wide leg pants, and cinched your waist in with a chunky black waist belt. Pair this with sleek coral boots that are soon trend (being Pantone’s colour of the year and all), and finish off with a black cardy when you’re battling cold air-conditioning.
Wavy two-tone stripe top S$14.90, and wavy two-tone stripe pants, S$14.90 from Zara.
Tibi alexis satin ankle boots, US$366 (S$494.46) from The Outnet.
