I am unofficially naming Alison Hammond as the queen of a co-ord, as the TV presenter has worn a high street two piece almost every day on This Morning this week.
Like my colleague Leanne, who actually is the queen of co-ords (you can read more about that here), Alison has realised the potential of just how chic a two matching separates can be. And Thursday's look - a vibrant striped top and matching trousers - was one of her best yet.
Alison's striped top and trousers combo is from JD Williams, with both pieces on sale - collectively, her outfit will set you back only £30.80. Talk about a steal.
Wearing the Printed Linen Elasticated Cuff Boxy Top, Alison showcased how to embrace a bold co-ord. Made with 20% linen, the top is cut to be worn loose and oversized - a la Alison - and has a boxy, flowy shape. The cuff sleeves help to anchor what could be a big, oversized top.
She wore it with the matching Printed Linen Mix Wide Leg Trousers. Also made from 20% linen, what I love most about these are not only the wide leg silhouette - so airy for the summer - but the elasticated waist. Tummy-friendly trousers are our absolute favourite!
You could easily wear this outfit to the beach, to the bar or even dressed up for a more formal occasion. Plus, wearing the pieces separately just makes sense and means the whole outfit is even more affordable; that's just good girl math.
Wear the trousers with a simple plain T-shirt or camisole, or the top with jeans, denim shorts or a summery skirt. Or make like Alison and pair them. In my opinion, it's a striking outfit that is worth wearing together.
Both of the pieces are selling fast with the trousers sold out in some sizes, however you'll find sizes between 8 - 32 still in stock. As for the top, you can grab that in sizes 8 -32.
Alison's This Morning outfits this week
I love when Alison and Dermot join forces to host This Morning. Not only is the chat between the two hilarious, but Alison always gives a good outfit - and they're usually from the high street.
Monday saw the 51-year-old start off strong, with a zebra print co-ord from Yours Clothing. The crinkle top and trousers look so striking when worn together, and both are still in stock in sizes ranging from 14 to 32.
Another day, another co-ord; I loved this check top and skirt, it was so glamorous. From River Island, the blue check satin blouse has a drape neck and is sleeveless, with the matching skirt maxi length and in the same pattern.
