And as we all chart our plans to cover a whole lot of cities, coasts, and mountains, packing our travel wardrobe for a variety of climates and activities tends to cause a frenzy for us and our suitcases alike (God bless that zipper!).

Of course, co-ord sets are at the core of easy dressing and simplified packing, after all, two is always better than one. Whether dressed up or down or mixed and matched with other pieces, co-ord sets ensure your travel style is always A+.

When it comes to mixing and matching separates, basics (like crop tops, t-shirts, camisoles, and more) and statement blouses are equally essential for a unique touch. Obviously, exaggerated sleeves, textures, cutouts, and pops of colour make them even better.
