How to Style Matching Sets

Matching sets

The easiest way to achieve a chic look this summer

The summer months are often the busiest (and hottest!) months of the year. You need outfits for events and everyday life that require few pieces and even fewer thoughts beforehand. Enter the matching set! The matching set is one of our favorite looks because it is effortlessly chic and versatile. Dress them up, dress them down, mix and match, the options are endless and easy to achieve! Let’s look at some tips and inspiration for styling your matching sets this summer—

Mix it up

When choosing a matching set, make sure you love the the top and bottom as much separately as you do together. This gives you the opportunity to create multiple outfits from your one purchase!

Solids + Patterns

Don’t shy away from patterns when mixing and matching! You can create totally different looks by pairing a solid item from a set with a pattern that has the same or a complimentary color.

Add a Blazer

Oh blazers. Our favorite accessory! If you are wanting a more professional or dressed up look, a simple way to achieve that is by adding a blazer. Just be sure each of your hems hit at different lengths so your look is not chopped in half.

Create Your Own Set

Can’t find exactly what you are looking for in a premade set? Make your own! Here are some tips when creating your own matching set:

1. Pair with the exact same shade or one slightly lighter/darker.

2. If you want the colors to be exact, look at the same brand for the top and bottom.

3. Don’t be afraid to play with different textures.

4. When in doubt, stick with black or white.

5. Make sure you can make outfits with both pieces separately as well!
