Celebrity and fashion stylist Scott Da Silva-Wells has curated a selection of co-ords from high-street retailers including H&M, Primark, ASOS, and others, designed to provide both comfort and style for airport travel this summer. Co-ords offer a foolproof outfit solution, eliminating the need to coordinate separates while saving packing space, as each piece can be worn individually during the holiday.
Why Co-ords Are the Ultimate Airport Outfit
According to Da Silva-Wells, who has worked as a stylist for over eight years, co-ords are key to nailing an airport look. “Co-ords are genius because you don’t have to worry about what you might style the top or bottoms with; you wear both items together and voila,” he said. The trend also provides two additional outfits while away, as the pieces can be mixed and matched with other wardrobe items.
Top Picks for Summer 2026
F&F Striped Short Sleeved Oversized Fit Co-ord Shirt in Multi Brown is priced at £18, with matching shorts at £16. The chocolate brown stripes are a key trend this summer, and the oversized fit is ideal for layering over swimwear or a white vest. River Island Navy Premium Horizontal Striped T-Shirt costs £29, paired with wide-leg joggers at £36, offering a sporty yet elevated look.

How to Style Your Airport Co-ord
Da Silva-Wells recommends pairing co-ords with chunky trainers and a crossbody bag for a polished travel look. For evening transitions, swapping sandals for heels can take the outfit from day to night. The stylist emphasizes that these sets are not only for travel but also versatile for holiday wear, such as sightseeing or beach strolls.
