13 Stylish Co-Ord Sets For Fall

by Kelly Dougher

If you're looking to refresh your wardrobe for fall, you can't go wrong with a set of co-ords. If you're not familiar with the burgeoning trend, it refers to a coordinating top and bottom, whether it's a blazer and skirt, crop top and culottes, tee and trousers, or any other set. It's basically an entire outfit put together for you, with no work required on your part (well, you should probably pick out shoes). You can wear the matching pieces together for an extremely put-together vibe, but you can also maximize your budget by pairing each item up with other pieces in your wardrobe.

So whether you're going back to school this fall or you want to update your office wear, consider a co-ord set. Many retailers are now not only carrying this trend, but even giving co-ords their own page on the online store. Zara, Asos, Missguided, and Forever 21 are just a few of the stores that offer tons of co-ord sets that will fit into most people's budgets — since nobody wants to spend a lot of money on a trend that they're not too sure about. Don't worry though: Once you get your first matching set, you'll never want to go back to picking out the right top to go with your pants ever again.

Here's a round-up of 13 of the cutest co-ord sets that you can wear this fall no matter what your budget or size, from cozy ribbed sweater sets that you can wear to the office to co-ords with fun patterns and textures that you can pair with a warm jacket for a night out.

1. Cozy Stripes

These kind of look like comfy pajamas, but they'd be more than appropriate to wear to the office with a cute pair of T-strap ballet flats and some delicate jewelry. Then you can go home and nap in them!

3. From The Office To The Couch

This is another set that has a strong pajamas/loungewear vibe, and we're all for it. Plus, you can get the entire set for only $30. Total steal.

4. Sophisticated, Next-Level Sweats

Fine, I'll admit it: I just want to wear pajamas this fall. But seriously, it's kind of amazing how this cozy set manages to look office-appropriate while still being sweatpant-adjacent. It's the power of coordinates. Just make sure to pair it with killer heels to offset the loungewear vibe.

12. Sweater Skirt Set

This set is perfect for those who aren't sure if they can pull off an obvious co-ord set. There's no crop top or busy patterns, so it looks like you're just wearing a cute sweater dress. Wear a sexy lace camisole under the sweater and you can take this look out after work for a date or a night at the bar.
