Winter is here — and with it the eternal question: what do you wear when it’s grey outside, but you still want to look stylish indoors? The answer is as simple as it is genius: matching sets and the power suit. Two-piece outfits remain our ultimate fashion wildcard for Winter 2025/26 — whether it’s everyday life, the office, a dinner date, or a winter getaway. Once you’ve experienced the comfort and versatility of co-ords, you’ll never want to be without them again.

In this article, you’ll get a trend and styling guide for the cold season. We’ll take a quick look back at how two-piece sets have evolved since 2020, introduce the coolest set types for different occasions, share concrete outfit inspiration, offer practical styling tips, and show you how to elevate the looks from past years on the blog to the next level.

A Quick Trend Journey: From Jogger Sets to Power Suits

Do you remember when jogging bottoms were basically our everyday uniform? In 2020/21, sweatpants — and cozy lounge sets — dominated daily life. Home office and lockdown made it possible: suddenly, it was completely fine to leave the house in a stylish jogger set, a hoodie, and an oversized coat. The mix of comfort, casualness, and street-style charm was unbeatable. While we started out experimenting with simple colours, bold patterns and statement pieces became more popular over time.

But fashion keeps moving. The desire for structure and “power dressing” returned. Oversized suits in striking colours and patterns — already trending in blogs in 2021 — slowly replaced the jogger look. Power suits, often in bright shades or floral prints, became the new must-have — not just for the office, but also for after-work plans and events. The cuts got more exciting, the fabrics more elevated, the looks bolder.

And even for the biggest day of your life, the two-piece stepped into the spotlight: bridal suits and tuxedo dresses proved just how modern and versatile co-ords can be — whether classic, relaxed, or glamorous.

Which Matching Sets Are We Wearing in Winter 2025/26?

The selection of women’s two-piece outfits has probably never been as big as it is right now. In Winter 2025/26, several set types are having a moment — and you can style them however you like:

  • Suit Trend 2025/26: Tailoring sets & power suits
    Classic blazers and trousers meet fresh colours, details, and materials. Alongside oversized cuts, the cropped jacket is back, too. Especially cool: two-pieces in muted winter tones like chocolate, olive, and petrol — or as a statement in pink, red, or houndstooth. For the brave: suits with fringe, metallic details, or cut-outs.
  • Knit-Sets:
    Fine knit from head to toe brings instant cosy vibes. Cardigan + trousers, a sweater with a matching skirt, or even knit shorts as a layering piece — knit sets are incredibly comfortable, but always look polished.
  • Sweat & Lounge Set:
    The classic isn’t going anywhere — it’s just getting a more elevated twist. Sweatpants and hoodies come as matching sets, styled with a coat, boots, and a chunky scarf for everyday wear — or with a blazer and a sparkly bag for a night out.
  • Dressy two-pieces:
    Two-piece sets can be comfy, but they can also be festive. Shiny fabrics like velvet, satin, or sequins bring party energy to any event. Especially on-trend: combinations in silver, royal blue, or deep emerald green.

How to Style Your Matching Set: Outfit Ideas for Every Occasion

  • Everyday Cool: Pair a beige or grey knit set with a long quilted vest and chunky Chelsea boots. Add a statement bag and an XXL scarf — and your perfect city look is done.
  • Office Chic: A tailoring set in navy or cognac looks professional with a simple white turtleneck and elegant loafers. Gold hoops and a classic tote complete the outfit.
  • Dinner-Date: Go for a power suit in pink or red, add a fitted black top, delicate layered necklaces, and heeled ankle boots. If you like, define the waist with a belt and roll up the blazer sleeves for a relaxed touch.
  • Winter vacation: A fleece or cashmere lounge set in cream, paired with chunky boots, a puffer jacket, and a statement beanie. Let colourful socks peek out as a fun detail — perfect for a cabin weekend or a snowy city stroll.
  • Festive & elegant: A glossy two-piece in emerald green or silver, styled with high heels and a clutch. For an even more elevated vibe, casually tuck the top into the trousers or layer a silk cami underneath.

Styling Tips + Do’s & Don’ts: How to Make Your Two-Piece Look a Head-Turner

  • Watch proportions: oversized needs contrast! Pair wide-leg trousers with fitted tops, add a belt, or choose heels to create shape.
  • Colour harmony: monochrome looks feel luxe instantly. Stay within one colour family, play with tonal shades, and add accents through accessories.
  • Break up the set: you can absolutely wear matching-set pieces separately — mix boldly and discover new outfit combos.
  • Choose the right materials: quality fabrics make all the difference. Merino, cashmere, silk, or finely woven cotton look elevated and feel great.
  • Accessories matter: bags, caps, sunglasses, hoops, and statement necklaces add personality. The bolder the set, the more minimal the accessories — or the other way around.
  • Do: roll up sleeves, opt for cropped tops, play with prints and colour, try your own combinations.
  • Don’t: go fully oversized without shape, mix too many patterns, choose cheap fabrics, or style plain basics with zero accent.

Jacky’s Previous Two-Piece Looks as Inspiration — and How to Style Them for 2025/26

  • Monochrome in beige and white: These clean co-ord looks like they came from previous seasons and still feel current. In 2025/26, add layering — like a maxi coat or colourful knit accessories — to create depth.
  • Jogger set + oversized coat: It used to be casual, now it’s urban-chic. Add a trend bag, chunky boots, and an XL scarf to get the most out of the classic. If you want, upgrade it with metallic details or colour pops through accessories.
  • Festive glossy two-piece: The shiny suits from past holidays still work beautifully in 2025/26. Try new combinations, like a velvet top or a sequin bustier underneath. Minimal jewellery and classic pumps keep it elegant.
  • Bridal two-piece: A highlight from the blog archives: the bridal suit. For 2025/26, introduce fresh accents with lace, cut-outs, or metallic details. If you’re feeling bold, style it with colour-blocking heels.
