Finding the perfect summer outfit that is both stylish and comfortable can be a challenge, especially for those with curvier figures. Co-ords offer an effortless solution, providing a matching two-piece that elevates your look without the hassle of coordinating patterns or shades. For plus-size individuals, issues like chafing and friction from skin-on-skin contact or excess fabric can be a concern, making the right cut and fabric essential for comfort.
To help you navigate the season, we've discovered three breezy and comfortable co-ords tailored for fuller figures, suitable for everything from beach getaways to evening events. First up is a print co-ord from Scarlett Moffatt's recent edit with Simply Be. Available in sizes 10 to 28, this 100% cotton set is lightweight and airy, with a vibrant print perfect for holidays. The shorts fit somewhat snugly at the waist, so sizing up is recommended for a relaxed silhouette. It is slightly sheer, but pairing with nude underwear and opting for a looser fit solves the issue.
Another option is the Saint + Sofia linen co-ord, which has been a wardrobe staple for over a year. Made from a blend of 30% linen and 70% viscose, it offers breathability and a featherlight feel while resisting creasing. The oversized silhouette works well with trainers and a vest for city breaks or over a bikini by the pool. Available in sizes 6 to 22, with trousers in regular and tall lengths, the generous cut means you may want to size down for a similar relaxed look.
For a more sophisticated option, Simply Be's polka dot co-ord is ideal for special occasions, leisurely lunches, or holiday date nights. Crafted from 100% cotton, it features a loose, flowing shape with ruched ankle detailing and a shortened blouse. Sizes run from 10 to 32, with an adjustable drawstring waistband for a roomier fit. Style with ballet flats or sandal heels for a polished finish, or keep it casual with flip flops and an open shirt.
