11 best co-ords for women this summer – by the Queen of Co-Ords herself

I am writing this while wearing a summer co-ord, I went out on Saturday night and I wore a dressy co-ord, on my last visit to the office I wore a smart co-ord. What I’m trying to tell you is that I’m a professional co-ord wearer and even my friends call me the ‘Queen of Co-Ords’.

So it comes as no surprise that I’m here writing this article with a guide to rocking the easy co-ords over the summer months. This is the perfect time to rock a two-piece – when the sun is shining and they just work perfectly, and the ones I plan to feature will be cool and comfortable as well.

Here I am in some of my favourite co-ords! From Zara to Couture Club and River Island

How to style a co-ord

Matching sets often look excellent with trainers and sandals alike, which is why I enjoy the trend so much. If I’m looking to rock a smart outfit, I usually go for a suit with heels. For the beach I’ll rock a pair of flip flops and wear a matching set as a beach cover up.

How I chose the best co-ords

Variety: I’ve selected co-ords in a range of styles, from linen options to smarter styles, so there should be something to suit everyone.
Price: Fashion doesn’t need to break the bank, which is why I’ve chosen matching pieces with a variety of price points.
Trusted brands: All the brands I’ve chosen are known and loved by the HELLO! Shopping Team. While I haven’t tried on all of the products, the brands are some of our favourites, so the quality should be high.
