8 Must-Have Matching Sets

by Meghan Blalock

Out with the old, in with the new—or, as we like to say, out with the sundress, in with the matching set. Our love for a really stylish matchy-matchy moment is well-documented, and we’re especially sticking to our guns this summer.

Not only are matching sets a breezier, oft times more comfortable alternative to a classic floral sundress—they’re also a smidge more modern and of-the-moment. They’re appropriate for casual, day-to-day wear (perfect for a weekend brunch, for example)—but can also be dressed up for a girls’ night out with a statement necklace or a really great high heel.

Read on for 8 super-stylish sets you can shop right now!
