Remember in 2001 when Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears wore denim matching outfits that awoke us to the possibilities of all-denim ensembles? While it might not be a look that’s often replicated exactly, it did inspire a lot of denim-on-denim style — which is still totally on trend.
That brings us to co-ords. Coordinates (commonly known as co-ords) have started to take the fashion world by storm. A co-ord look involves a matching set, but you can mimic the trend with similar patterns or color choices. It’s a look that implies a sophisticated fashion sensibility without being too difficult to pull off.
Here, the co-ord-inspired looks that are shaping our closets this fall.

Fall co-ords
-
Red Knits
Stun in an all-red ensemble that's as cozy as it is chic.
-
Plaid on Plaid
Make plaid on plaid work by pairing different patterns in the same color family. Use white boots and a yellow bag to contrast the dark look.
-
Orange Hues
Try pairing an orange turtleneck with a trench in a slightly darker hue. Incorporate subtle hints of orange in your accessories, including your earrings, your bag and socks.
-
Blue on Blue
A blue scarf stylishly used as headwear will complement a blue and black top and pant ensemble. Create distinction by using a brown coat and orange or brown accessories.
-
Shades of Yellow
Yellow can be an overbearing color — unless you use different shades.
-
Triple Denim
Most denim-on-denim looks use two pieces of clothing. Go for an unconventional yet chic look by wearing a triple threat.
-
All White
Look classy and chic by matching a white midi dress with an off-white cardigan and white bucket bag. Add bright orange boots for a pop of color.
-
Red on Red
Give a matching pantsuit a sexy twist with a bra in a similar shade.
-
Military Esque
These olive green pieces with laced boots give off a cool, military-like streetwear vibe.
-
Floral-Themed
Despite color, pattern and fabric not being the same, create harmony with one motif. Pull off different floral prints by wearing a floral coat with a floral top and bottom, then finish the look with a floral bag.
