Zara McDermott's striped Co-Or d
Zara McDermott looked stunning in this perfect knitted co-ord (Zara McDermott/Instagram)If it wasn't obvious by now, at The Mirror we love a co-ord. So when we spotted Zara McDermott in this striped two piece with a stunning frill trim and Bardot style finish, we were in love.
The former Love Islander was spotted in the set, which is the ASOS DESIGN Knitted Maxi Skirt In Textured Stripe, £26 here, and the matching Knitted Stripe Bardot Top, £18 here, on her Instagram page and we couldn't believe how affordable it was.
Coming in alternating navy and white, the set is the perfect addition to any spring wardrobe thanks to its versatility. Made from a mid-weight knit that’s ideal for the transitional (and unpredictable) weather the UK so often has, it’s breezy enough to be worn on a warm, sunny day with just a denim jacket and sandals, whilst still being cosy enough to keep you warm when worn with a pair of boots and a bomber jacket.
