Hate the rainy season for dampening your mood and ruining your plans? We love it as the cooler weather allows us to don lightweight layers (#tropicalcountryproblems). Our trend of choice this round goes to the cardigan-and-top sets (also called sweater sets) that will keep you looking effortlessly trendy regardless of the occasion.
Popular in the ’50s and ‘90s, the co-ords started making a comeback when Katie Holmes’s matching cashmere cardigan-and-bra look (from New York label Khaite) went viral late last year. Kendall Jenner’s lavender Alessandra Rich set was also one of the most talked-about ensembles during Spring. And while the trend may remind you of the outfits your grandma once wore (or is still wearing), many brands have given it a contemporary update by introducing shorter crops, lower necklines, and more.
We don’t only love the co-ords for their chic factor—one of the reasons why matching sets are always a big yes in our books is because they’re fuss-free and fail-proof. Lazy to dress up? You’re covered. All you need to do is pick a bottom (our suggestion: a cute A-line skirt or a pair of baggy jeans) and you’re good to go. It’s that simple. If it gets too warm outside, simply remove the cardigan and you’ll still look great.
