The 18 best coord sets for an instantly put-together outfit

Though this viscose and nylon skirt set is ultra comfortable thanks to the loose-fitting silhouette and the elastic waist on the skirt, you'd never guess it based on how polished they look as a pair. It's quickly become one of my favorite dinner sets and it never fails to draw compliments. Plus, it's got pockets, which is always a nice touch. I also love that the skirt comes in petite, regular, and tall lengths.

Few colors make a statement quite like lime green. This punchy, summery 100% cotton set features memorable details such as scalloped edges on the top and tiny cutouts in the shape of Monstera leaves. The boxy, sleeveless top closes via a single button in the back, leaving a largely open back to add even further interest. The high-waisted maxi skirt, which has a side zipper, features a flowing silhouette and a slightly dropped waist.

If you have any music festivals on your spring or summer agenda, may we recommend this Western-inspired coord set? It includes strapless black denim top which looks incredible with its partner, a loose-fitting denim maxi skirt with a large slit up the front. Though the cotton outfit makes quite a statement on its own, it's an even greater backdrop for all your festive accessories like layered jewelry, a wide-brim hat, and cowboy boots. We love that you can customize the style by wearing the top fully buttoned or leaving the bottom half of the buttons open to show a bit of midriff.

This satin duo is sold as a set, so it's best for people who size similarly in tops and bottoms. The slinky outfit, which consists of a tube top and a coordinating column-style maxi skirt, is perfect for evenings out and can even be worn to a cocktail party if you accessorize it with some upscale jewelry and heels. The pull-on design features an elastic top and high-waisted elastic skirt, so it's plenty comfortable.

This boxy crop top has an easy fit, a round neck, and button-up side panels that reveal just a bit of your sides. It matches nearly anything, however, we especially like it with this overlapping wrap midi skirt that has a coordinating button on the side. The lightweight ensemble is perfect for a summer day strolling through a city and pairs especially well with white sneakers, a sun hat, and an oversized tote bag.

If you're not over the Barbiecore trend (trust me, I get it), then you'll love this pink plaid tweed set. The short-sleeve jacket top has an elegant collar, adorable flap pockets, and gold and pearl buttons, which allow you to wear it open or closed. Meanwhile, the fitted mini-skirt has a teeny slit on the front side and closes via a back zipper and hook-eye closure.

When I tested Quince's washable silk line, I couldn't believe how high-quality all of the items were considering their below-market pricepoints. Plus, the items were easy to launder since they don't require dry cleaning and held up well in the delicates wash cycle. 

This set is quickly becoming one of my favorite coord sets because it's lightweight, breezy, and comfortable for the warmer months, however, it looks so elevated and sophisticated that I can wear it to the office or out for a nice dinner. I find myself reaching for the cami quite often, even when I'm not pairing it with these slanted hem bottoms with a pull-on elastic waist.

The best coord sets wear equally well together as they do apart, and this cotton-rayon duo from Richer Poorer proves that point perfectly. I love the easy fit of the wide-leg pull-on pants, which have a cozy elastic waistband and side pockets. The collared long-sleeve shirt can be worn buttoned on its own or open over a crisp white T-shirt for layering benefits. I wore the set with white sneakers and gold jewelry to a recent brunch outing and got a ton of compliments.

Inspired by office wear, this belly-baring set is anything but. Combining a cropped vest with low-rise, wide-leg pants, this edgy ensemble is tinged with irony. If you do happen to prefer a work-appropriate version of the ensemble, we recommend wearing the vest unbuttoned over a white T-shirt underneath the vest, or otherwise see our guide to the best suits for women. Add slinky sandals and a statement necklace to this striped linen blend and you're, well… set.

This flowy long set is crafted from gauzy, lightweight cotton, making it perfect to wear on a slightly chilly summer evening. The collared, button-down shirt features two chest pockets, while the wide-leg bottoms (with an elastic waist and pockets) sit on the natural waist. We love that both the top and the pants come in petite, regular, and tall lengths, and they can be mixed and matched with any of its other colorways.

This resort-ready set begs to be taken on vacation. Perfect for wearing as a coverup over a bikini, or on its own for a casual beachside dinner, the linen-viscose combo is one of the best coord sets for summer thanks to its easy, breezy silhouette. The oversized short-sleeve button-down top can be worn open or closed, and the wide-leg pants with a tasseled drawstring look excellent with flat leather sandals.

I have a special place in my heart for clothing that feels like loungewear but looks polished enough to wear out and about. This cotton jersey set from Z Supply checks all those boxes. It's easy to dress up or down depending on whether my ensemble includes slippers or a low-heeled sandal. The V-neck tank has a flattering, boxy silhouette, while the wide-leg pants (they run a bit small) have convenient pockets. This set is lightweight and breezy enough to wear all day in the hot sun without sweating.

Easygoing yet elegant, this shirt and shorts make one of the best coord sets for a spring and summer wardrobe staple. Both pieces are crafted from 100% European flax linen, which is lightweight and breezy but still sturdy. The top features a wide crew neck, center placket with a front pocket, and fabric-covered buttons. Meanwhile, the shorts have a comfy elasticated waistband, front slash pockets, and two back patch pockets.

The best coord sets can be worn just as well together as separates. Enter Boden's linen set, which consists of a button-down shirt and shorts. The pieces pair perfectly together, however, the collared shirt also looks great with a pair of wide-leg jeans and the mid-rise shorts look just as well with a white T-shirt.

Meet the most perfect summer loungewear set out there. I love to wear the button-up cotton top and knit shorts around the house, but they're also cute enough to be seen out. The oversized fit of the top is so comfy and easygoing, while the high-waisted drawstring shorts provide just enough coverage. When I'm not wearing these for a Sunday spent on the couch, I like to slip them over a swimsuit as a fashion-forward beach coverup option.

Embroidered with sweet florals, this laidback soft cotton set features a button-down style top with a collared neckline and button closures. The bottoms have a comfy smocked elastic waistband with an adjustable drawstring and pockets. As a duo, they pair especially well with chunky sandals (I recommend Alohas' Harper Leather Sandals) and statement sunglasses. Wear the top fully buttoned, or leave it open to reveal a slinky bralette underneath.

A surefire way to make a style statement while keeping your look highly sophisticated: this linen vest and shirt combo from J.Crew. The slim-fit vest is meant to be worn without a shirt underneath, putting an edgy twist on the classic suiting staple. Meanwhile, high-rise, wide-fit shorts with pockets and an elastic waistband keep you cool and comfortable. (The shorts run slightly large, so size down if you're in between sizes.) If the vest is a bit too daring for you, the shorts can also be worn with this matching linen button-down shirt.

This splurge-worthy set has a luxurious air that begs to be strolled through Grecian cities. The blue and chartreuse print is both bold and sophisticated. Lightweight and easy, the button-down collared top gets extra style in the form of voluminous sleeves complete with shirred cuffs. Meanwhile, the relaxed shorts feature a wide, comfy elastic waistband with a drawstring closure and pockets.
