These Matching Sets Are Honestly So Good
Matching sets are one of the biggest outfit trends dominating the fashion space right now. I remember trying the look for myself a few summers ago on a weekend trip to Napa, wearing a gingham off-the-shoulder top and matching skirt. What struck me about the look was the ease of it all. Instead of trying to find the right piece to go with a cropped top or the perfect thing to wear with a new pair of jeans, the whole outfit was pretty much planned out for me already. All I had to do was pick out a pair of shoes and some accessories to make it fit in with my personal style.
And I’m happy that matching sets are again popping up everywhere this summer. With a quick scroll through my Instagram, I’ve spotted loads of style setters wearing everything from cool open-front tops printed with pastel-hued seashells and matching skirts to coordinating blazers and trousers to even two-piece denim sets that are intended to be worn together. Ahead, see how fashion girls are wearing matching sets and shop their outfits.
Who What Wear editor Aemilia Madden is on board with the trend.
Available in sizes XS to L.
Available in sizes 24 to 32.
Coordinating blazer outfits look even cooler in a pastel hue.
I'm personally all about open-front tops. Next time I wear one, I'll add a matching skirt.
Try styling this with a cool blouse or a T-shirt.
