Dresses and jumpsuits have always been present as a total look option in women’s wardrobes, while on the other hand men have played around with combining tracksuits. There is something to be said about that iconic two-piece suit, which shares a commonality with co-ords, both are combinations of a chromatic range or bold prints, that makes a return this summer with the same daring spirit and a little more freedom.
Now, pants, shirts, t-shirts and sweaters work as coordinated pieces (Co-ords) to create a striking image for the most daring, but they don’t stop there - they also allow us to get creative in making combinations. It is a question of attitude. For the founder and designer of Casablanca Charaf Tajer, also one of the main culprits in the revival of the total look, the objective is to "spread beauty and self-confidence".
The key is in tailoring, which allows the trend to move away from its workwear origins, elevating it without losing impact. This is what we have seen demonstrated by Sita Abellán and J Balvin in Casablanca, and Pyer Moss, who has mixed African references and leisurewear.
