First, decide what style of co-ord you're looking for. Co-ords make excellent loungewear, as they are comfy, low-effort and help you look put-together even when slouching around the house. They offer casual, lazy-day wear that's smarter and easier to layer than a full-on onesie.
Perhaps you're off on a boys' holiday, or for a stint by the beach, and need something to slip on poolside when the sun gets too much. In that case look for a loose, casual co-ord set, perhaps with a playful print to enhance the holiday feels.
Finally, a smart co-ord set can be worn to work, weddings or on nights out when you want to look your slickest and best. The decision on what to pair with what will be a no-brainer, allowing you to easily create a put-together look that stands out from the mismatched crowd!
Updating your wardrobe? Then check out our guides on the best linen shirts, cardigans, and skinny jeans!
Check what pieces your co-ord is comprised of. For warmer temperatures, shorts and a mid-to short-sleeved shirt will be just right, whereas loungewear can be made up of joggers and a t shirt, or something with longer sleeves depending on your personal comfort and the time of year.
Shorts and a heavier hoodie will keep your guns warm while your legs can breathe, but if you're buying co-ords which include full-length trousers, consider the fit. Loose, wide legged trousers give a sophisticated, devil-may-care look not everyone can pull off, while skinny-fit trousers aren't always flattering or comfortable.
Try to shop according to what feels comfortable and suits your build. After all, you know best what clothing items you prefer to wear, depending on the weather and what you plan on doing in it!
Understanding the fabrics used to make your clothing is important. Many of the co-ord sets for men we've chosen are made from 100% cotton. This makes them soft, cool, breathable, easy to care for and excellent quality. Organic cotton is even better as it's grown without the use of pesticides, protecting your skin and the planet too.
Lyocell is an even greener alternative to cotton. It's breathable, but requires fewer washes and uses half the water needed to produce cotton. You might also like your co-ords to include viscose or polyester which are cheaper than cotton and can reduce the overall cost.
For added stretch and mobility, look for elastane. This clever man-made material allows for extra comfort and a better range of movement. Linen, on the other hand, adds integrity and class to a men's co-ord set, though it can increase the price and will need ironing!

Set yourself up to win in this trendy co-ord set that manages to walk the tightrope between casual and cool. The bomber jacket offers a nod to the 90s, whilst the zip-fly trousers with elasticated cuffs keeps the look tidy yet easy to wear. Team with smart shoes for nights out or trainers for casual day wear.
This classy slim-fit combo really is a cut above the co-ords next door. The cotton linen blend keeps the set feeling light, and we love the contrast of the ribbed jersey collar with the grey pinstripes. Just remember to take it to the dry cleaners now and again!
This two piece set is casual in all the right ways, simply chuck it on over your sun-kissed chest to cool off after a day by the pool. The shorts are relaxed and easy to wear, with a stretchy elasticated waistband and a snug fit that looks cool with mid-calf socks and lace-ups.
The cool, breezy feel is thanks to the fact this shirt is made from 100% cotton, with a royal blue print that adds a bit of an edge to the pastel pink. Boss beach wear for under sixty quid!
If you're looking for a co-ord that looks put-together yet effortless, this denim combination should be at the top of your shopping list. This cool two piece with its 90s-feel includes a harrington jacket and slim fit trousers, which can either be dressed up or down.
Furthermore, for those of you who are sustainable shoppers, this is also a great choice as the trousers are part of ASOS's responsible edit. This will definitely become a staple in your wardrobe since it is so easy to style and easy to wear!
We can't fault this premium co-ord set by Adidas! You can pair the incredibly comfortable fleece-lined joggers with either a t-shirt, hoodie or sweatshirt, depending on your style and where you plan to wear it.
This two-piece set is just right for use as loungewear, or for chilling at home. It's a bit smarter than a tracksuit and can even be worn post-gym for that chilly walk or drive home. Although it is slightly on the pricier side, you are definitely getting your money's worth given the material and brand name!
If you are someone who wants to add a bit of colour in their wardrobe but not stand out too much then this could be a good choice for you! The slightly faded lilac colour and checkerboard design are not only a great combination but one that helps to make this set feel a bit more unique.
This oversized hoodie and jogger set is perfect for those days you want to feel stylish but casual and comfortable. Just wear a plain white T-Shirt underneath and you are good to go.
Easy to wear and easy to throw on, this loungewear set from Jack & Jones is ideal for those cosy days in and casual days out. Although it is simple in style, the 'Arizona' text adds a bit more of a streetwear element to the set.
Although the T-Shirt is a relaxed fit, the elasticated cuffs provide a bit more shape and style. In addition to this, the fabric blend is easy to care for and soft against the skin. This will surely become a staple in your wardrobe.
We are particularly frond of this palm-leaf co-ord. There's something truly stylish about the wide-fitting, full-length trousers and zip-up jacket. It makes a sexy statement and will flatter a range of body types and skin tones.
For both items, you'll need to cough up a little over £60, which is fairly reasonable. It's easy to care for and casts an edgy silhouette with a fun pattern that'll see you brush up alright on both smart occasions or wild nights out.
What makes this co-ord set so great is the fact it is so versatile. It is a great choice for any summer gatherings and parties but also can be worn on a day-to-day basis. The geometric pattern and rust orange colour helps to give the set a rather retro feel.
This set is super practical as both the shorts and jacket have functional pockets. You also don't need to sacrifice comfort for looking smart as the shorts still include an elasticated drawstring.
Want to look super-on-trend this spring/summer season? This floral print co-ord consisting of a half zip sweatshirt and oversized shorts will not only make you stand out but provides ultimate comfort with its relaxed and oversized fit.
This set is also part of ASOS's responsible edit and 'Better Cotton Initiative' which aims to source cotton in a way which more sustainable and less harmful. If you are someone who cares about sustainability in fashion, then this fun co-ord is your perfect match!
New Look always seem to come up with stylish, comfortable co-ords. This set, with a smart-yet-slouchy revere collared shirt and effortless pull-on shorts, would look great on your boys' holiday for a balmy evening of drinks.
This chilled-out matching set is easy to wear and layer, hanging in a flattering way over any build. We love the diverse size range, though it could be even more inclusive. Plus, the colour may not suit everyone's skin tone, which is another minor drawback.
