Colourful Co-Ords

Colourful Co-Ords

As summer approaches, we're really excited to embrace co-ord dressing once again, a trend that promises effortless elegance and bold sophistication without the headache of overthinking! Simply put, co-ord dressing pairs coats with similarly toned dressed, creating a tonal ensemble that is easy to style. With our exquisite collection of silk and linen coats paired with matching dresses, co-ord dressing is perfect for formal summer engagements.

 

The secret to co-ord dressing is creating harmony between your coat and dress. No, their colours do not have to be identical, but a close match certainly helps. Picture a silk coat in a vibrant coral or soft sage, layered over a dress in a near-identical hue. The result? A polished, cohesive look that exudes confidence without trying too hard. This tonal pairing is ideal for summer events where you want to stand out while adhering to a refined dress code.

 

For a wedding guest ensemble, consider our silk coats with their delicate embroidery or subtle sheen. Pair one with a flowing silk dress in a complementary shade - think blush pinks, sunny yellows, or cool ivories. The key to nailing this trend is balance: let the coat add structure while the dress keeps things light and breezy. Accessories should be minimal - perhaps a sleek clutch and understated heels - and can be in a contrast colour to make a stylish exclamation.

 

 

Equally, a linen co-ord in a soft lavender or buttery cream feels fresh and modern, especially when cinched with a belt for added definition, as per our Circle dresses. Add a wide-brimmed hat, and you’ve got a look that’s equal parts chic and practical.

Whether you’re celebrating at a wedding reception or sipping champagne at a summer soirée, these silk and linen pairings deliver sophistication with a splash of colour.
