How to Style a Matching Set (Co-ord) in Streetwear

To style a matching set in streetwear, wear it together with clean trainers for an easy outfit, then split the pieces to get more wear out of it. One set can give you a lot more than one look.

Wear it together first

A matching set is made to be worn as one outfit, so start there. Keep everything else simple, with plain trainers and a basic tee underneath if the top zips or opens. The Full Tracksuit is £110, and The Fire & Flow Set is £135.

Why does a matching set look so put together?

Because the colours and shapes already agree, so you do not have to think about it. That is why a set can look sharp even when you have made very little effort. Our guide on styling a tracksuit smart goes deeper.

How do I split it up?

This is where you get your money's worth. Try these ideas:

• Wear the top with jeans or dark trousers
• Wear the bottoms with a plain tee or hoodie
• Throw the jacket over a shirt for a smarter feel
• Mix it with neutral pieces you already own

If you split a set, make sure the pieces still look good alone and are not overly matchy with the new item.

Which shoes suit a matching set?

White or black trainers are the safest. If the set is quite bold, keep the shoes neutral. If the set is plain, a more eye catching pair can lift it. More on that in how to style statement trainers.

What about accessories?

Keep them light. A cap, a bag or a simple chain is enough, and a beanie can work in colder weather. The aim is for the set to be the star, so you do not need to add much around it.

Can I wear a matching set to work or out?

It depends on where you work and where you are going, but a set can be dressed up more than you think. Pair the jacket with smart trousers, or wear the bottoms with a crisp shirt. We cover the work angle in styling a track jacket for work.

Is a matching set worth it?

If you like easy outfits, yes. You get one look straight away and several more when you split it up. Think about how often you will really wear each piece, and whether it fits the way you already dress. A set that you wear every week beats a stack of things that stay folded in a drawer. Start with one set, learn how you like to wear it, and build from there.
