Having spent my fair share of time scouring the new-in sections, I’ve noticed a particular summer-ready trend land online in droves in recent weeks. Up there with drop-waist dresses and mary jane shoes, everywhere I look, fashion brands are backing the bustier co-ord trend.
Already picked up by some of the style sets biggest players, the two-piece set has proven a popular choice for sophisticated summer style. Styled by Karlie Kloss for a weekday occasion, the model took a less-is-more approach to her outfit, letting the graceful nature of the two-piece ensemble carry her look.

Often designed in a more rigid linen or cotton fabric, the two-piece set offers an elevated alternative to the cotton dresses that otherwise dominate the season. Whilst I’m enamoured by the pretty trouser and bustier sets I’ve seen on the market, I’ve also found some supremely chic skirt versions that make sophisticated summer dressing look oh-so-easy.
A mainstay in the rotation of fashion editors worldwide, the elegant co-ord is often favoured during fashion month for its fuss-free nature and comfortable design.
Across high street and designer brands, the trend is blossoming this season. Read on to discover the styles we’re loving right now.
