Coord sets are the ultimate lazy girl hack. With minimal styling required, wearing a co-ord set will set you apart with little effort. They also come in a variety of combinations of top and bottom styles, from cosy sweatshirts and joggers to elegant tops and skirts. Effortless to dress up or down for different occasions, co-ords save you time and effort, especially on days when you can’t decide what to wear. However, wearing solid-coloured sets could get repetitive and boring. To keep it interesting, you can opt for bold and playful designs. Whether you are going for a date or hitting the gym, the right co-ord set will help you stand out while keeping you comfortable.
There are a plethora of bold designs that you can go for and we’re here to help you style them appropriately (without looking like Govinda from the 90s, which is still an amazing look if that’s your thing!). Keep reading to find out how you can ace a bold co-ord set fashionably.

With the wedding season approaching, you must be planning your looks for the festivities. While one can argue that lehengas are the OG co-ord set, try a different silhouette for functions like mehendi, haldi, and cocktail parties. You can pair an elegant paisley or floral print skirt with a matching off-shoulder top for a romantic look. Want to dress bold? Go for an Indo-Western colourful blazer and trousers co-ord set. You can also try sequined fabrics on your blouse, paired with flared pants in a similar colour palette.
Active Wear
Having fun workout outfits only motivates us more to head to the gym or go for that run. Workout clothes don’t have to be boring and there is a lot of scope beyond black and white pieces and solid colours. Go for a patterned sports bra and tights co-ord to enhance your active look. Add multiple colours to the mix by pairing colour-blocked tops and bottoms. For the ultimate athleisure look, pair coordinating joggers and a hoodie and ace those post-workout Instagram posts.
Vacation
Your vacation outfits need to be picture-perfect and your outfits make your pictures look perfect so look for coord sets online or offline and enjoy your vacations. They can be your best friend on vacations as they take away the time of matching different clothing items. You can also go for a three-piece co-ord set with matching shorts, a top, and a shrug for that added cover on beach or pool days. Keeping the focus on the co-ord set, pair these with white or black footwear, sunglasses, and dainty jewellery.
Prints
Geometric shapes, abstract designs, animal prints, floral patterns, and more! These classic prints will be a great addition to your wardrobe. You can get prints in multiple colour palettes so you can show off your adventurous side in a printed co-ord set. Write an ode to 90s fashion with shirts and trousers inspired by psychedelic or animal patterns, like the cheetah print. Experiment with explosions of colour with tie-dye (you can even DIY this one!). If you want to keep it chic, consider channeling your inner Cher from Clueless or Elle Woods from Legally Blonde – a matching plaid or houndstooth pencil skirt and blazer in yellow or pink.
Comfort zone
If you are still not convinced or bold colours are just not your thing, we’re letting you in on a little secret. You can still ace the trend of bold and playful co-ord designs in solid colours! All you need is a self-patterned fabric. For example, floral designs or stripes in different shades of the same colour. Even if you want to wear a solid colour, adding texture with embroidery, sequins, or knitted pieces helps add a touch of personal style to the trend. Since textured fabrics are heavy, you can keep the jewellery minimal. However, this is your chance to make your outfit stand out by going for colourful bags, shoes, and footwear.
Let’s talk about how coord sets are a great addition to your wardrobe even if you don’t always wear them together! You can easily match the tops or bottoms of these sets with your humble jeans or solid skirts to create a completely different look. You can also use the top from an Indo-Western co-ord set as a blouse for a saree or pair it with your lehengas. Individual pieces from your coord sets will help you add a pop of color on days you want to go for a muted yet fun look.
Versatile, playful, and comfortable! You don’t need any more reasons to be sure that coord sets are a must-have in your wardrobe. Go ahead and move the one you have been eyeing online from your wishlist to your cart!
