Summer is the best time for events. Whether it’s a wedding, a fun day to the beach, or hanging out at a rooftop bar, the events are endless. However, with the summer heat taking its toll, finding the right outfit to keep you looking and feeling cool can be difficult. Fear not! Matching sets are here to save the day. They are the perfect way to put together an outfit without the stress of figuring out what goes together well. 

To help you get your summer closet figured out, we’ve paired six matching sets with different events that are a must-have for summer. 

Beach 

Southampton Button Down and Shorts by Shop Rumours

When it comes to beachwear, there are countless options. From bikini coverups to light outfits for early evening strolls, the list goes on and on for acceptable attire. However, finding a beach look that can transition from day to night is challenging. A crocheted beach coverup might be too laid back for a beachside restaurant, but linen trousers and a top could come off as too formal for a casual hangout. If you’re looking for the perfect outfit that’s acceptable for day and night, Shop Rumours has you covered. The Southampton Button Down and Shorts are the perfect pieces to make a chic summertime set. Made from 100% cotton, this combo is cool and comfortable.

The darling blue and white pinstripes give off the perfect summer vibe. The button-down gives this outfit a slightly formal look that makes it perfect for nighttime, while the shorts allow for a cool daytime outfit. Pair with a plain swimsuit, cute sandals, and a raffia basket and you’ve got yourself the perfect beach set.

Casual 

Newspaper Tee and Tommy Cargo Pants by With Jéan

There’s nothing that beats brunch with the besties on a sunny afternoon. When it comes to brunch, the outfits have to be top-tier. While some may go all out, nothing beats a casual, yet fashionable, outfit to eat some pancakes in. The Newspaper Tee and Tommy Cargo Pants from With Jéan make a casual set that’s anything but basic. It’s great for any casual outing since it’s comfortable and has an effortless look. Both pieces have the same newspaper print, but it’s arranged in different ways on each piece. The different arrangement creates a break in the graphics, allowing the combination of the two pieces to not look too chaotic.
