I've been looking to streamline my autumn wardrobe – these co-ords from brands such as Zara, Next and ME+EM will make getting dressed so easy
Co-ords are everywhere at the moment, and here are my favourite finds
As someone whose job it is to notice what trends are coming and going, I can tell you that co-ords are everywhere right now. Combining two matching pieces into one outfit, a co-ord not only feels extremely put-together, but they also take the guesswork out of getting dressed on busy mornings.
As we head into the new season, I'm looking to streamline my autumn outfit ideas. Part of this process is shopping for pieces I will genuinely get wear out of, and that can mix and match with the existing staples in my wardrobe. Co-ords are a versatile buy. Not only do they look flawless with little-to-no styling, but the best part is that each piece can be worn solo too.
These past few weeks, I've bookmarked a few of my favourites. From a heritage check jacket and trousers from the British clothing brand ME+EM to a cosy khaki utility jacket and matching joggers from Next. Or for something a little more luxurious for evenings out, Reiss' brown silky shirt and trouser set is worth keeping an eye on.
This autumn jacket offers the perfect way to embrace heritage checks, one of the key autumn/winter fashion trends 2026. It's made from a comfortable houndstooth jersey that has a soft stretch finish. Layer over simple T-shirts, vests or lightweight knits.
These trousers are the perfect piece for building smart-casual outfits. They are made from the same stretch-infused houndstooth fabric that makes them a comfortable choice, and their wide-leg design makes them so flattering. Wear with the matching jacket and a crisp cotton shirt.
There's something so chic about this checked navy blue bomber jacket. It has a subtle check that leans into the heritage-print trend, and an easy-to-wear bomber silhouette. For an off-duty look style with straight-leg jeans and your most comfortable trainers.
If you're looking to freshen up your trouser rotation these are a standout choice. The curved barrel silhouette is effortlessly cool whilst the subtle checks will add dimension to your look. Pair with the matching jacket and a cosy knit for an autumn day out.
If you're looking for a co-ord that will work into the evening paired with slingback heels and some sparkly jewellery, this design is worth having on your radar. Made from 100% silk, this shirt comes in a dark mocha brown and has a subtle jacquard pattern on it.
These trousers have an elegant wide-leg silhouette that makes them perfect for dressing up. From styling with the matching shirt to pairing with a simple vest or jumper, they are surprisingly versatile. They also have a comfy drawstring waist.
This khaki green utility jacket offers a stylish way to embrace one of autumn's most popular shades. It's made from a soft, slinky fabric making it more polished than traditional utility styles. The relaxed shape makes it easy to layer over everything from T-shirts to knits.
These green joggers feel much smarter than your average loungewear. The relaxed barrel-leg silhouette makes them a comfortable choice for everything, from laid-back outings to travel days.
The great thing about co-ords is just how many variations there are, so you can find a matching set to suit almost any occasion. This time of year, jacket and trouser co-ords are a particularly smart choice, offering an easy way to feel put-together and keeping you cosy when temperatures drop.
For something a little bit more dressed up, silky or patterned shirt and trouser sets are a great option for evenings out, and the shirts can be reworked into your everyday jeans outfits too.
