July 9, 2025
Summer is all about easy breezy dressing – and nothing embodies that more than coordinated sets that take the guesswork out of getting dressed.
Not only do they deliver an instant polished look, but you can also easily mix and match them with the rest of your pieces in your travel wardrobe to create multiple outfits. Whether you're packing for a great escape, navigating the office during the heatwave, or heading to a power lunch, a good set is a hardworking investment piece to have in your wardrobe. Not only do they streamline your look, but their mix-and-match potential makes them ideal for travel. Pair the top with tailored linen trousers for a city stroll, or throw on the bottoms over a swimsuit for beachside ease. The possibilities are as endless as your summer calendar.
The key to elevating a matching set lies in the accessories. Think beyond the basics: chunky resin bangles, summer-inspired sculptural earrings, and vintage-inspired eyewear can inject personality into even the most minimal ensemble. Woven bags and jelly slides add texture and tactility – perfect for summer's laid-back rhythm.
Scroll through the gallery below for summer's best co-ords and styling inspirations – there's something for every personality that will suit. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram

Actress Tamannaah Bhatia took to social media to offer a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the backstage chaos at a recent fashion event. Reflecting on the fast-paced atmosphere and teamwork involved, she highlighted the effort that goes into creating those magical moments on the runway. Taking to Instagram, the Baahubali actress shared a series of photos and videos from her ramp walk at India Couture Week 2025. Alongside it, Tamannaah wrote, 'The thrill of walking in one look and coming back in another is unmatched. What happens in those minutes backstage - the speed, the teamwork, the focus, it's chaotic yes. But it's the kind of chaos that fuels you. There's so much love and labour behind those fleeting moments on stage, from many more people than one can assume. @rahulmishra_7 @divyabmishra What a night. What a team. What a feeling..' In the images, she is seen striking a pose with utmost grace and style. In the next Tamannaah is seen posing or the shutterbugs. In one of the backstage videos, the actress could be heard saying, 'Ganpati Bappa Moriya. Har Har Mahadev.' On July 24, the 'Sikandar Ka Muqaddar' actress turned showstopper for designer Rahul Mishra at India Couture Week 2025. For her first appearance, Tamannaah graced the runway in a lavender-colored, body-hugging gown. In her second look, she stepped out in an exquisite lehenga adorned with delicate floral motifs and landscape-inspired detailing. FDCI on its official Instagram handle shared Tamannaah's pictures and captioned it, 'Tamannaah Bhatia (@tamannaahspeaks) turned showstopper for Rahul Mishra (@rahulmishra_7) at the Hyundai India Couture Week 2025 on 23rd July. Becoming Love: Love is more than a feeling; it is a state of being. Like breath, it surrounds, fills, and transforms you. In Sufism, love unfolds in seven stages: attraction, infatuation, surrender, reverence, devotion, obsession, and ultimately, death—the dissolution of the self into the beloved. A journey from the first gentle spark to complete oneness.' Work-wise, Tamannaah Bhatia was last seen in the 2024 Netflix heist thriller 'Sikandar Ka Muqaddar.' She will next be seen in the supernatural thriller 'Odela 2' and the upcoming web series 'Daring Partners.' Meanwhile, Tamannaah, who was recently seen in a special appearance in the Ajay Devgn-starrer 'Raid 2,' is currently in her 'figuring-it-out phase'. The actress took to her Instagram, and shared a series of pictures and videos of herself. The post documented her routine life, and how her days look like while she is immersed in work, and takes time out to enjoy life. She also penned a long note in the caption, as she wrote, 'This is the figuring-it-out phase. The phase where you're half designer, half detective. Where every detail matters, and every misstep teaches. Where ideas live on sticky notes. It's not perfect (yet). But it's on its way'. She further mentioned, 'And honestly, that's the magic. Behind every shiny thing is a not-so-shiny process. Decisions and doubts. This is that part. The nerdy, chaotic, the exciting middle'. Indo-Asian News Service
