Style Guide
How to style a co-ord set, the Antimony way.
The co-ord has quietly become the most-worn silhouette in the modern wardrobe. Worn together it reads tailored; split apart it earns a second life across the rest of the closet. Five considered ways to wear yours, from a tonal morning look to a sculpted evening pour. A guide to luxury co-ord sets for women in India — the Antimony register.
01 — The tonal morning
Worn as a set.
The cleanest way to wear an Antimony co-ord is the way it leaves the atelier — piece on piece, in the original colour story. The trick is to keep the accessories within a half-shade. A tonal slip beneath the shirt, a thin leather belt at the waist, a flat sandal or low mule. The eye reads the outfit as one fluid silhouette, the way a soft tailored dress would, but with the easier mobility of two separate pieces.
Antimony co-ords are cut in long-staple Indian cotton, Belgian linen, and fine tropical wool — fabrics that breathe in Delhi summers and recover their shape after a long flight. Each piece is patterned in-house and sized so the trouser pairs cleanly with a slip dress underneath in cooler months.
02 — Split apart
The blazer goes alone.
A well-cut co-ord blazer is, quietly, the hardest-working piece in a luxury wardrobe. Wear it over a slip in the evening. Throw it on top of a bias-cut maxi dress for a dinner that runs late. Layer it over jeans and a fine knit on a Sunday. The trousers do the same job in reverse — a tonal trouser with a soft tee reads more considered than denim ever will, and travels better.
This is the case for buying co-ords from a maison that sizes thoughtfully. An Antimony co-ord is graded XS to XL, with bespoke adjustments available on most styles. The seams are bound or French-finished. The waistband is hidden. When you split the pieces, each one stands as a tailored garment on its own.
03 — With outerwear
A trench, a coat, a knit.
Co-ords were built for layering. The right outer piece adds weight and line without breaking the silhouette. For the Antimony co-ord in cotton or linen, we recommend the cotton-twill trench from the outerwear edit— belted, knee-length, soft-shouldered. For colder months, the denim trench or the recycled-wool overcoat. The trick is to leave the trench open so the co-ord underneath still reads.
On the gentler end, a fine cashmere knit thrown over the blazer in early morning, removed by noon. Sustainable fashion in India often skips the outerwear category entirely — climate-considered tailoring is hard to do without compromise. We don’t skip it. Every Antimony outer piece is patterned to layer over a co-ord cleanly, with cuff room for a fine knit.
04 — The evening co-ord
Embellished, embroidered, after dark.
An embellished co-ord sits in the same emotional register as a party-wear gown but rewards differently. The pieces re-wear: the embroidered blouse over a column trouser, the embellished trouser under a fine cashmere knit for a dinner that calls for less.
Antimony evening co-ords are constructed with hidden boning where the silhouette asks for it, hand-rolled hems, and embroidery worked by the same artisans who finish our luxury dresses. The same atelier, the same standard. Pair with sculptural earrings and a sleek low chignon.
05 — How to care for it
Made to last a decade.
Affordable luxury clothing fails most often at the care stage — a beautiful piece washed at the wrong temperature, pressed without a cloth, hung on a wire hanger that distorts the shoulder. Antimony co-ords come with a fabric-specific care card. Linen and cotton wash cool, line dry, press damp. Tropical wool dry-cleans only, stores on a padded hanger. Every Antimony piece is backed by a lifetime construction-repair guarantee — buttons, hems, lining seams, all mended at the New Delhi atelier without charge.

A few questions, considered
On co-ord sets, in brief.
- What is a co-ord set?
- A co-ord set (short for "co-ordinated set") is a two- or three-piece outfit cut from the same fabric and colour, designed to be worn together as a single styled look or split across the wardrobe. At ANTIMONY, co-ord sets are patterned in-house and cut so each piece — blazer, trouser, blouse, shrug — also functions independently.
- How do you style a co-ord set?
- There are three considered ways: worn as a set with tonal accessories; split apart (the blazer over a slip dress, the trouser with a fine knit); or layered with outerwear (a trench or recycled-wool overcoat in cooler months). The trick is to keep the colour story within a half-shade — the eye then reads the outfit as one fluid silhouette.
- What fabric is best for co-ord sets in India?
- For Indian climates, natural fibres outperform synthetics: long-staple Indian cotton for the everyday, Belgian or Italian linen for warmer months, fine tropical wool for winter tailoring, and washed silk for evening. These breathe in humidity and recover their shape after long wear or a packed suitcase.
- Are co-ord sets formal or casual?
- Co-ord sets sit between the two. Worn as a set with a low mule and minimal jewellery, a tailored co-ord reads more polished than a dress. Split apart — the blazer over jeans, the trouser with a tee — they read casual. ANTIMONY co-ords are sized to be worn either way without compromise.
- Where can I buy luxury co-ord sets online in India?
- ANTIMONY (antimonyindia.com) makes luxury co-ord sets in Italian linen, cotton and tropical wool, all patterned in-house and made to order in a five-person New Delhi atelier. Sizes XS–XL, bespoke sizing available, insured shipping across India and to 30+ countries.
