What’s better than one closet essential? Two! A good two-piece set that is! No matter the occasion, this is a closet staple that gives new meaning to “Stay ready, so you don’t have to get ready!” The two-piece set, also known as Co-ord, is an outfit made from matching colors, prints, or fabrics. While matching sets are no new trend, making its first appearance in the 70s, the trend has evolved, with major brands, such as Juicy Couture, Skims and Boohoo, monopolizing various styles that cater to their target market. The versatility of this particular trend allows you to be casually cute, or sexy and chic with little to no effort. If you’re anything like me, an abundance of options can easily overwhelm even the most seasoned shopper. With that being said, let’s narrow it down to ensure your closet has you ready for whatever event comes your way. As much as I love dressing up, there’s nothing like a casual look, that’s still stylish, and can quickly transition to chic. For me, a flared pant with matching mock turtleneck, paired with a cute pair of heeled mules does the trick! Now, of course, you can easily swap heeled mules, for a classic flat sandal, and still accomplish an effortlessly, chic look. Aside from style, don’t be afraid to play around with different textures, colors, and fabric. I tend to gravitate towards pieces that I can transition into different seasons, simply by adjusting accessories. For a flirty, and flowy look, I grabbed this beautiful drop shoulder, crop blouse with matching pants, in a gorgeous emerald, green color, and paired it with a cow print mule, and fringe clutch. Whether it’s a date night with bae, girls’ night or a solo night on the town, this one is sure to turn heads. As much as I love all of the stylish pant sets, the classic skirt and matching sweaters are my absolute favorites. I happened upon this lovely plaid blue number while browsing the mall and paired it with a pair of thigh high Jeffrey Campbell boots and a beret for an “Emily in Paris” inspired night out. Because a lady needs options, I added this elegant striped black and white pencil skirt, with matching crop set to my co-ord collection, and paired with a yellow, jacquard pump, and dainty black bag. Needless to say, ladies, we could go on and on about how to mix and match, and play around with this timeless trend. In a nutshell, two is certainly better than one!
