How to Style It
Summer / Beach: Wear this co-ord set as a complete outfit with flat sandals and a tote bag for a relaxed, effortless summer look. According to Vogue UK’s guide to wearing matching sets, co-ords work best styled with minimal accessories to let the coordinated fabric do the talking. Browse our co-ord outfits collection for more styles.
Holiday / Vacation: Style with espadrilles and a straw hat for a considered, holiday-ready look. The lightweight polyester-elastane blend is genuinely practical for travel — wrinkle-resistant and quick-drying. The three colourways — Pale Chestnut, Light Green, and Sachet Pink — all work beautifully in a holiday setting.
Casual / Everyday: Wear with clean white trainers and a crossbody bag for a relaxed, everyday casual look. Cosmopolitan UK’s guide to styling high-waisted shorts recommends tucking in a fitted top to define the waist — the relaxed tee in this co-ord is designed to sit perfectly at the high waist for exactly this effect.

Care Instructions

- Wash inside out — protect the checkered texture fabric
