The Easiest Way to Look Stylish This Summer
Summer's all about swapping out what's normally in our rotation for pieces that feel more seasonally appropriate. As we head into the season, you'll find us switching up how we style denim in the heat and adding the prettiest new tops to our wardrobes. The same goes for the outfits we throw on when we're truly at a loss for what to wear. You know the kind we're talking about. You probably always have one on hand for whatever kind of day you're heading into. Well, we just found your next go-to summer outfit, and it couldn't be easier to style.
Enter crop top sets. You'll find the coordinating two-piece outfit in just about every color and print imaginable. We're not playing favorites when it comes to these stylish pairs either. Whether they involve high-waisted pants, midi skirts, or shorts, crop top sets make for the no-brainer outfit we'll be wearing on repeat this summer. Not only are they impossibly easy to throw on for any occasion, but they also happen to make the perfect base for every pair of sandals, sneakers, and even boots you're wearing right now. See how fashion girls are styling the sets ahead, and then shop our favorite pairs.
A printed set is an ideal outfit to bring with you on summer vacations. Wear both pieces together or style them separately and think of all the space you'll save in your suitcase.
Top available in sizes M to L and Greta Shorts ($262) available in sizes XS to L.
It's impossible not to look put together in a matching crop top set even on the laziest of days.
Top and Johnny Tasseled Crepe Midi Skirt ($129) available in sizes XS to L.
Top available in sizes 0 to 10 and Gingham Fil Coupé Cotton Shorts ($206) available in sizes 0 to 8.
The best kind of sets are the ones you can get endless use out of wearing as a pair or styling each piece on its own.
