Co-ordinated sets are no longer the byword for bland. As we learnt the much-needed lesson on longevity last year, we’re counting on the small luxuries like a wardrobe with no woes. And there’s no better formula than ‘power pairing’ to attain a polished look in an instant! How so? Sets are super-easy; they take the guesswork out of putting a look together. From trendy conceptually co-ordinated looks to skilful mixing and matching, a well-paired look can be your claim to fame. Here are the best ways to find yourself a perfect match.
Clashing print and textures
Shivan & Narresh
You heard it here: A clash of prints and textures will always be cool. Shake up your dressing routine with experimental pairings. Shivan & Narresh create an unconventional match with print, sheer fabric and textured trims to stay coordinated with the statement. Ace designer Anamika Khanna champions this maximalist trend with a mix of busy patterns and heavy embellishments.

Master of mix-and-match
Koai
Besides reducing the hassle of putting a look together, co-ordinated sets are the most versatile outfits you’ll ever have. Mix them with different pieces or wear them together. Throw it back to the ’60s with the retro-inspired co-ordinates by Koai and spin them as separates later. The batwing sleeve tops and flouncy skirts by Punit Balana have a lot of character on their own individually too.

Cheers to colour-blocking
Charkhee
Whether matched or mixed, the one-and-done formula of pairing makes dressing effortlessly easy. Solid overalls are great but don’t we love great things in two? Jewel-toned colour-blocked co-ordinates like this one by Charkhee will strike the fancy of every onlooker. Reeti Arneja creates a medley of monochromes to create a lasting statement.
