If there’s one outfit formula fashion keeps coming back to, it’s the co-ord. Matching top-and-bottom sets are popular again because they are quick, attractive, and take great pictures—all of which are qualities that we all desire in a "get-dressed-in-5" ensemble. Editors are calling out soft tailoring, breathable naturals and monochrome sets as the summer 2025 sweet spot, which is great news if you enjoy comfort without sacrificing style.
Soft Tailoring
This season's co-ords emphasise understated design; picture sharp shirts paired with relaxed, wide-leg pants. It’s the “put-together without trying” vibe that works for meetings, brunch and airport runs alike. One smart set will last you the entire week so start here if you're creating a capsule. Ivory, chocolate and navy colour stories are subdued with the occasional pop of gelato colours.
Look at tailored styles and shirt-set silhouettes on Label Pikake’s Co-ords collection. Pieces like The Cloud Break Co-Ord give you that soft-tailored feel in breathable fabrics so you look sharp but stay cool.
Shorts Sets
Shorts co-ords may be dressed up or down in a matter of seconds and are used for everything from holiday photo sessions to celebrity off-duty. "Weekend chic" without the hassle is a well-kept shirt or peplum top with embroidered shorts. Wear block heels at night and flat sandals throughout the day to keep your accessories basic.
Try Santorini Breeze Co-ord—a crisp white cotton peplum top with powder-blue embroidered shorts. It’s exactly the brunch-to-sundowner set that does the heavy lifting for you. For a darker, dressier take, Noir Bloom Co-ord Set pairs a black button-up with floral-embroidered mini shorts.
Eyelet & Cutwork
When the heat is real, the texture that lets air through makes all the difference. Although it appears delicate, eyelet/cutwork—often referred to as "Schiffli"—is tremendously useful for ventilation, movement and that lovely shadow play in pictures. This explains why so many summer ensembles combine breezy tops with loose-fitting trousers or shorts.
Two easy wins for this style are Rose Ember Eyelet Co-ord Set (peplum top + wide-leg pants in breathable cotton eyelet) and The Cloudlace Co-Ord Set (schiffli top + embroidered trousers). Both carry that feminine texture without feeling fussy.
Monochrome and “Quiet” Color Stories
The editors continue to emphasise monochromatic co-ords as the stylish obvious option that goes with everything! You can vary the look with just your shoes and jewellery. In terms of colour, summer 2025 will be divided between soft gelato hues (cool blues, butter yellow) and grounded neutrals (mocha, white, navy). For that opulent look, choose your lane and keep your accessories tonal.
If you want calm and crisp, The Cloud Break Co-Ord in all-white nails the “quiet luxury” look. Prefer a color lift? Pieces across the Co-ords collection bring in powder blues and soft pastels so you get the trend without going loud.
Day-to-Night Versatility
With shoes and a tote at 10 a.m. and heels and hoops by 7 p.m., the greatest co-ords allow you to go through the day without changing your attire. For this reason, stylists continue to push them for unlimited mileage. Choose breathable cotton bases, your favourite top shape (shirt, peplum, crop) and a bottom that works for your daily routine (pants for versatility, shorts for weekends) to make yours work harder.
Explore the full Co-ord Sets collection and filter by silhouette. If you’re after a statement color, The Pistachio Bloom Co-ord Set gives you a one-shoulder top moment with cutwork detail. If you’re a separates mixer, Olive Thread Co-Ord Set (cropped shirt + tiered skirt with sheer embroidered panels) can be split and reworn with jeans or a plain tee.
