Once upon a time, wearing a matching set meant you were either in a school uniform or trying too hard. Fast forward to today, and co-ords have taken over wardrobes, Instagram feeds, and the streets—making people look effortlessly put together (even when they rolled out of bed five minutes ago).
So, how did we get here? Let’s break it down.
The Rise of Co-Ords: From the Runway to Your Lazy Sunday
It all started with high fashion houses serving matchy-matchy looks on the runway. Then, streetwear brands hijacked the trend, making it wearable for the rest of us. Somewhere between quarantine loungewear and the rise of “dopamine dressing,” co-ords became a staple. Why? Because nothing screams ‘I have my life together’ like a coordinated outfit—whether or not you actually do.
The COVID Era: The Co-Ord Awakening
Let’s rewind to the lockdown days. Stuck at home, we collectively decided that stiff jeans and tight dresses were unnecessary forms of suffering. Enter loungewear sets—the gateway drug to co-ords. Matching sweats became a global uniform, and when the world reopened, we weren’t ready to give up that level of comfort. Instead, co-ords evolved into stylish, outdoor-friendly versions, keeping the cozy factor alive while making us look polished.
The Comfort Revolution (Yes, We Said It)
Let’s be honest: we were never going back to stiff, uncomfortable clothes post-2020. Co-ords offered a stylish way to embrace comfort without looking like you live in your pajamas. From oversized sweats to sleek summer-friendly co-ords, they became the go-to for people who want to keep it casual yet chic.
Men’s Co-Ord Sets: Because Basic Tees Are Boring
Men’s fashion has finally woken up to the fact that a little coordination never hurt anyone. Enter the men’s co-ord set—a sleek polo and shorts combo that gives ‘effortless style’ without actually requiring effort. Perfect for coffee runs, airport fits, or that “I woke up like this” energy, these sets keep things breathable and versatile.
Women’s Co-Ord Sets: No More ‘What Do I Wear?’ Moments
For women, co-ords are the ultimate cheat code. Our latest crop top and joggers sets are your answer to summer-friendly co-ords that work for brunch, errands, and spontaneous weekend getaways. No more outfit meltdowns—just a polished look that works every single time.
Homegrown Brands Are Doing It Better
Sure, fast fashion brands are churning out co-ords at the speed of light, but homegrown brands (like ahem Thnwhn) are crafting pieces with soul. Investing in quality, fit, and unique designs, homegrown labels are redefining what it means to look good while feeling good.
The Verdict: You Need a Co-Ord. Period.
If you haven’t already hopped on the co-ord train, this is your sign. Whether it’s a men’s polo and shorts set or a women’s crop top and joggers, it’s time to give in to the easiest fashion decision you’ll ever make.
