Need An Instant Outfit Upgrade? Try A Matching Set

FASHION BY PORTIA BRAJKOVIC

You know those days when nothing (and I mean nothing) you put on works? Well, good news, because there’s an easy fix: matching sets.

“Matching sets are great because they’re a bit of a cheat. You’ll look pulled together in an instant.”

– Bree Macara, stylist We asked three stylish women to be photographed in their take on a matching set…

Ali Smyth wears: A structured set

Before I was diagnosed I thought I’d been relatively healthy. I drank very little alcohol, I often cycled and swam, and ate fruit, salad and vegetables as much as possible. But I wasn’t consistent enough.

“Working in the creative industry, I can get away with wearing things that you probably wouldn’t in a corporate environment. I can wear them to a client meeting, an event or just the office.”

Ilkin Kurt wears: A sophisticated set

The style of designer, creative director and consultant Ilkin Kurt is impulsive and experimental, leaning heavily into vintage pieces. Her wardrobe in three words? “Comfortable, eclectic and unexpected, sometimes.” Here, she wears a silky set from ESSE.

“Every time I wear a matching set, it feels like I’m channelling my mum. It’s a connection with my childhood and upbringing.”
