20 Matching Sets for Summer

Few things feel as effortless in summer as a matching set. For a fuss-free, one-and-done look, co-ords are the ultimate shortcut to looking impeccably put together—no overthinking required. Worn together, they create an instantly cohesive moment without the hassle of mixing and matching separates, and styled apart, they give you multiple outfits to play with. I wore my eyelet set above for a beach day on Nantucket and loved how the delicate cotton eyelet felt feminine and a little bit cool. It’s the kind of look that works beautifully over a swimsuit, but still feels polished enough for a casual lunch or walk through town. Below, I’m sharing my favorite matching sets for summer—from easy cotton and linen pairings that will have you beach-ready in no time, to special embroidered pieces made for garden parties, seaside dinners, and vacation nights out.

• I love the delicate eyelet detail on this cotton top. It's feminine without being fussy, and looks gorgeous as a set worn over the matching shorts. I paired with simple diamond studs, flip flops and packed my things in this splurgy tote. I found I had several large straw totes that had rounded bottoms, and I love that this one's bottom is flat, which is perfect for using as a personal item with your suitcase, or packing things like a computer or a picnic lunch. (This tote looks similarly lux for a fraction of the price.) My hat is old from Helen Kaminski.
• I'm obsessed with this denim cape top from Zimmermann. The scalloped broderie anglaise on dark denim feels so special. Wear it with the matching denim shorts for a vacation-ready set, and ground the look with my favorite gold wrap sandals.
• If you love intricate lace details, this ivory linen shell top and maxi skirt is absolutely dreamy. The geometric threadwork is stunning for garden parties, outdoor dinners, or summer events with heels and statement earrings.
• Wrap this hand block-printed pareo (15% off with STACIE15) as a skirt with the matching shirt (15% off with STACIE15) for the chicest poolside set. The colors are so gorgeous in person.
• The ribbon embroidery on this linen shell gives it such a special handcrafted feel. Slightly cropped, it sits perfectly with high-waisted bottoms, or pair with the embroidered skirt for a look that reads like a dress. (A woman was wearing this set on Nantucket and it's stunning!) I'd pair with these beautiful raffia block heels.
• Everything about this cotton-silk peplum co-ord feels thoughtful. The peplum hem lines up perfectly over the skirt's waistband for a seamless silhouette that works for garden parties, summer weddings, or a special lunch out.
• I just ordered this navy floral cotton top and love the wide shoulder ties. It has that relaxed, bohemian feel that's perfect with the shorts for a beach day or with denim cutoffs and sandals.
• This embroidered gingham linen blouse has that effortless summer charm I reach for again and again. Wear it as a set with the linen skirt or pair with high-waisted shorts for a more casual moment.
• For an effortless summer dress that doubles as a set piece, this embroidered linen mini dress is so fun. The red floral embroidery pops beautifully. Layer it over the matching pants for a bohemian vibe.
• This pink silk printed shirt is the kind of piece that takes you from beach to sundowners without missing a beat. Wear it loose over a swimsuit, French-tucked into linen pants with statement earrings (these!), or knotted at the waist with the matching sarong.
• The green geo border on this sleeveless silk blend blouse (20% off with StacieM20) is so fresh for summer. Wear it with the matching silk blend pants (20% off with StacieM20) for a polished look, or pair with white jeans for a more casual weekend outfit.
• The broderie anglaise trim on this blue striped linen crop top is so romantic. Pair with the matching pants for a head-to-toe set, or wear it alone with white linen trousers and espadrilles.
• Bold and textural, this multicolor crochet tank has a cool retro feel that looks amazing with the matching wide-leg pants. On its own, it pairs perfectly with high-waisted denim or a midi skirt.
• Nostalgic and playful, this strapless checked top in breathable cotton-linen is perfect for farmers market mornings or seaside lunches. The fitted bodice with back tie is so flattering, and it pairs beautifully with the matching shorts.
• Part shirt, part scarf, this showstopping silk blouse from La DoubleJ drapes beautifully on every body type. I'd wear it to a gallery opening with the matching palazzo pants and statement earrings.
• So chic for transitional dressing, this brown linen eyelet jacket has a structured silhouette with a boho edge. Wear it belted with the matching shorts now, and with white jeans later.
• Structured yet summery, this indigo cotton-linen bustier top has a tailored feel that elevates any warm-weather outfit. The hook-and-eye closure is sleek, and it looks incredible with the matching wide-leg trousers for a head-to-toe set.
• Sporty and polished, this red cropped sweatshirt has a varsity-inspired V-neck that elevates the classic sweat when paired with these shorts. Perfect for errands, travel days, or throwing over a sports bra after Pilates.
• Sweet and summery, this red seersucker top is lightweight cotton perfection. Wear it with the matching shorts for a beach day with a sweater thrown over your shoulders.
• If you're ready to splurge, consider this archival floral silk shirt, which works beautifully worn over the matching palazzo pants for dinner or tucked into high-waisted trousers on vacation.
• Seersucker is always a good idea, and this striped button down has the most beautiful dusty red, white, and blue colorway. Throw it on over a swimsuit or wear it buttoned up with the matching shorts for a classic summer look.
