A rather untraditional summer is calling for just that—untraditional trends that maintain a laid-back, but still stylish, approach to our new reality. Enter: The matching set. But this isn't the one you've worn to rooftop drinks or music festivals. Rather, this summer's set consists of a button-up blouse, preferably worn tied up or left unbuttoned over a bikini or a bra top, and coordinating trousers of the high-rise, loose-cut variety. Whether in a silky fabric, soft knit, or nostalgic print, the flowy pieces look elevated yet are utterly comfortable for lounging around all day in. Plus, each piece can easily be worn separately for even more wear. Here are a few of my favorites for you to consider mixing your summer wardrobe up with.

|
The Sexy Set.
Who said a matching top and trousers had to be dull? A sultry see-through fabric or a sexy metallic style still brings the heat.
|
|
The Wild Set.
Play tourist for a day in a cheeky animal print set. When juxtaposed against a black bra top, sleek slides, and simple jewelry, it's anything but tacky.
|
|
The Knitted Set.
Just like the pandemic, elevated loungewear isn't going anywhere anytime soon. If you haven't already scooped up matching ribbed-knit sweats, one of these sets will check off two trends at once.
|
|
The Floral Set.
My personal summer aesthetic is one of these throwback floral print sets layered over a bikini or lacey bralette, I can't think of anything better.
|
|
The Mini Set.
If a head-to-toe matching ensemble is too bold for your liking, try a cropped button-up or tie-front blouse with a mini skirt to ease into the trend instead.

Proof I'm not making this up.

The next edition.
Loungewear aside, today should be recognized as a national holiday. Sign this petition to help make Juneteenth a day to celebrate—and keep fighting for—freedom for all.
