After months of not leaving the house and only truly getting dressed from the waist up, it's safe to say that our style muscles got a little atrophied during quarantine. So if you're now feeling a little overwhelmed by the process of getting dressed to leave your house, you're definitely not alone. But there is one trend that is perfectly poised to carry us through this transitional time. Say hello to the two piece set.
Two-piece outfits make it so easy to look cute and coordinated, without feeling too matchy matchy. There's very little planning when it comes to these sets. Just toss on the top and bottom, and you instantly look pulled-together - all you have to think about is shoes and accessories. And the best part? You can wear the pieces as separates, which is like adding three new outfits to your wardrobe.
These are the best two-piece sets in 2021:
Lulus
This sexy, white ensemble is perfect for summer white parties and bachelorette weekends.
Lulus
Keep it relaxed while chilling at home or during a morning stroll on the beach in this comfy, lightweight knitted set.
Princess Polly
This two-piece fit comes in a range of neutral colors, and looks just as good with a pair of slip on sneakers or strappy block heels.
Rebecca Minkoff
The soft French terry cotton of this set is lightweight and breathable so you can still sport a comfy sweatshirt on warm days. We love that the playful ruffle detail on both the top and shorts gives this sweat set a flirty look.
M.M. LaFleur
Ease back into office attire with this elegant set from M.M. La Fleur. The machine-washable, tailored top has chic sculptural sleeves and stretch in all the right places, while the leggings are so comfortable yet polished enough for the office.
Bloomingdale's
This adorable set from AQUA is lightweight and perfect for a fancy summer brunch or a casual garden party paired with espadrilles.
Sabo
This off-white knitted set is the definition of cozy. It's super soft and flattering thanks to drawstring, high-waisted shorts and an all-around relaxed fit.
Anthropologie
What could be easier than a pull-on matching tank and midi-skirt combo? This sweet floral set is great for both spring and summer, and will perfectly hug your curves.
Free People
Wear this silky set dressed up with cute heels and minimal extras so details like the buttoned bell sleeves, and balloon-style shorts get to shine.
Free People
Release your inner hippie in this boho-inspired set. The draped cropped sweater and high-rise shorts are crafted with a loose knit so this outfit could be both a swimsuit cover up or its own look.
Reformation
Turn heads in this sultry, two-piece look. The high-neck crop top pairs with a midi-skirt with a front ruching knot and front slit, all made from a jersey fabric for some stretch.
ASOS
Hit the town in this flirty long-sleeved crop top and ruffled mini skirt set that shows just the right amount of skin.
Zara
Made of 100% Mulberry silk, this bold tie-dye outfit is like a fancy set of elegant pajamas you can wear outdoors.
Shein
The wide leg pants of this set perfectly offset the tiny strapless top that can be worn as either a bandeau or a halter.
Tory Burch
Even if international travel isn't on your schedule, this outfit will make you feel like you're strolling the French countryside. The fruit basket print is a nod to illustrations on traditional paper bags at French markets, and both 100% cotton pieces look as good together as they do as separates.
Alexis
Dance the night away in this alluring puff sleeve crop top and matching midi skirt with a fishtail hem, both made from gorgeous macrame lace with delicate scallop details.
Madewell
Pack this breathable cotton set on your next tropical getaway. The bold leafy print will fit perfectly with your surroundings, while the cardigan sweater is a must on cooler nights.
Mango
This 100% cotton outfit is part of MANGO's Committed collection, which uses sustainable fibers and processes to reduce environmental impact. The set is breezy and comfy with an elastic boatneck and waist, deep pockets and puffed sleeves.
Abercrombie & Fitch
Look sharp in this menswear-inspired set from Abercrombie. The slim-fitting vest has adjustable straps so you can go braless if you wish, and the high-rise, wide-leg linen pants offer the chicest silhouette.
Showpo
You'll look like a million bucks in this stylish two-piece set that won't break the bank. Wear this sweetheart neckline, zippered crop top and matching midi-length lace skirt to your next cocktail party or wedding reception.
Pampelone
This French Riviera-inspired look is so easy and breezy. The lightweight, relaxed monochrome fit looks perfect with a pair of studded leather sandals.
