The game changer: The two-piece set

Is there anything not to love about co-ord dressing? It makes getting ready a complete no-brainer and is guaranteed to look good. The most obvious way to tackle it has been to reach for pants or a skirt, but this season’s approach is more modern, with a hefty dose of fashion flair. Look for separates rich in design details – pleats, clever draping, inventive tailoring – and layer away. The more unexpected the combination, the better the overall effect: a high-impact blouse or shirt with a skirt will do the job nicely, but a midi dress over tailored pants is the fashion editor’s pairing of choice right now.
