Co-ord or Pyjamas?

[SurreyisSunny]

I love the look of co-ords it seems everyone on social media is wearing on holiday and in the summer. I tried a couple on in M&S and I looked like I was wearing expensive pyjamas.

What do you all think about this trend? Do I just embrace the pyjamas look and go for it?

I may be super behind trends, but can I ask what a "co-ord" is?

@exhaustDAD Matching top and trousers or shorts in the same material.

I’d look like I was wearing pyjamas as well.

I’ve tried a few and I can’t get over the pj vibe, found a really cute one almost convinced myself and then my DH fell about laughing that I was planning on wearing pjs to go for dinner on holiday 🙈

@HolidayPlanningAgain this made me chuckle, I feel I’d get a similar reaction while thinking I was looking on trend!

This set from Me & Em is definitely not pyjama-y, also in a coral colour that is lovely. Just £££! https://www.meandem.com/blouse-short-co-ord-ganache-brown

I’m not sure but whenever I see co-ord I still get the giggles about a Tu review for a co-ord set.

You could buy the items separately and a review of the co-ord trousers from someone who had obviously bought online was very cross that they weren’t corduroy as described. 😆

And I did see these earlier and thought it looked a nice set for holidays and was disappointed to see they were PJs

he is always honest.. and to be fair to him he does have a much better eye for fashion and what suits me than I do! And he saw how much I loved it that he went and found a top to go with the bottoms and an option to go with the top (before I get all the LTB comments) 🙈😂

I went to Vietnam 20yrs ago and remember all the women wearing matching trousers and tops. They all looked like they were wearing PJ’s.

but it is to me.. some people like the look, some think it looks like pyjamas… each to their own

To me that fits the exact definition of pyjama-esque!
Anything that’s casual looking, matching colour and fabric top and bottoms looks very much like pjs.
im not on board with co-ords, they always look like nightwear to me.

They usually look like pyjamas to me, or failing that jogging suits from yesterday, not a good look imho but we don’t have to blindly follow fashion thank goodness

I got a few sets last summer and my DH tasted me mercilessly that I was wearing pjs. But as soon as we hit the airport for our summer holiday so many people were wearing similar outfits I felt vindicated! Go for it OP, I love a good co-ord!

No one will know if you do want to wear them during the day

I love the look of co-ords it seems everyone on social media is wearing on holiday and in the summer.

Yes, and most of them also look like they're wearing their pyjamas. (Grumpy!)

If you ever watch Trinny in closet confessions, she often wears actual (very expensive designer silk) pyjamas as a co-ord. it’s all about styling I suppose but she pulls it off. I would very much look like I was wearing my PJs.

Shoes, jewellery and a bag help to lose the PJ vibes! When you’re trying them on without any of those they can look like pyjamas.

They all look like pyjamas. It was a look last year. I’m surprised the fashion conscious arts still going with this look.
Having said that, if you want comfort and ease then do it.

Apart from anyone who has them as pjs 😆

So co-ords are the modern take on track suits?

It's nothing new then!

I like the look, but I stick to block colours rather than stripes and gingham. I think they look too pj-like personally.

Andi Oliver on GBM wears a lot of what I thought were pyjamas, but clearly they must be co-ords.

I think I'll give this trend a miss.

Deleted. Post duplicated.

yes like when my younger 2 wear Stitch pyjama top instead of the 1000 T-shirts they have? easily spotted 😳

I bought some in H&M, DH just looked up and said ‘why have you got your jammies on, we’re due out in 5 minutes, aren’t you coming?’….it doesn’t appear to be a look I can pull off…
