Your summer wardrobe can look a bit different than your everyday style, especially during the summertime when playful dressing is at an all-time high. This season encourages you to embrace more whimsical, cheerful, and destination-worthy pieces, and the joyful collections dreamed up by designers for the season do just that. While billowy dresses, shell jewelry, and all things bright and colorful scream “Out of Office,” there’s another category that instantly makes you feel like you’ve been transported to paradise, even when you’re at home: vacation matching sets.
Transform your outfit into an instant resort look with a two-piece set that feels right on theme, whether it’s Cala de la Cruz’s floral-printed skirt set or ESCVDO’s fan-favorite crochet duo. Take Zara, Agua by Agua Bendita, and Faithfull the Brand’s cabana-ready pant sets, for example. They’re polished enough to wear while exploring a new city or thrown on over a swimsuit for a day at the pool. For more dressed-up sets that feel equally as festive, try Banana Republic’s chic black halter-top set, Posse’s sleek tank and column skirt, or Johanna Ortiz’s shell-adorned iteration.
For the more minimally minded, sweet, simple sets from Sea, Alemais, and Matteau are low-effort, high reward. Finally, a short set is the definition of easy, breezy. Choose Solid & Striped’s and oversized button-up, Calle Del Mar’s crochet set, or even Magda Butrym’s matching hot pants and tank top. Here, shop our edit of 35 vacation matching sets that will undoubtedly transport you to paradise. Simply throw one on, and bon voyage!
