A matching co-ord is such a wardrobe winner for a number of reasons. As well as looking very on-trend and making a statement with print, a top and bottom set can also be super flattering, and as well as all that, you can wear each piece with other separates for even more fashion mileage.
If you are on the hunt for a matchy matchy outfit, I suggest you take a look at one of Charlotte Hawkins’ latest looks. The 50-year-old TV presenter shared a snap on Instagram of an outfit she wore to the Soho House Festival in West London recently. Charlotte opted for a beautiful mirrored-floral blouse and short set by Karen Millen, and she finished it perfectly with a pair of shiny-trim Havaianas sliders and a tan cowboy hat.
Charlotte’s look was perfect for her daytime celebrations, but could easily be dressed up with a pair of wedge sandals and a clutch bag for a brunch or as a new take on date night outfits - it's a set that has plenty of styling options. If you like the look of it, you’ll find it in the sale (hurrah!) below as well as some other floral statement-makers.
