I’m a sucker for a good matching set. While you won’t find me in the crop top or micro-short variety (I’ve aged out of that bracket, thank you very much), a twinning vest and pair of shorts? *Kisses fingers*
Below, three of the best matching sets I’m loving for 2025.
The Best Matching Sets
1. Lulus Mariette Vest and Shorts
Maybe it’s because they marketed it with a chic little headwrap on the site, but I feel like Audrey Hepburn traipsing around Rome the minute I put this set on. The material is thick, but not so thick that it’s uncomfortable, and the top fits like a glove. The shorts fit a little *too* snugly—I had to size up in them—but it was worth the return to get the proper size. I’ll get a ton of wear out of this!
2. ASTR Boat Neck Top and Shorts
Normally, I want nothing to do with linen (blasphemy, I know), but it wrinkles so damn easily, the payoff just isn’t worth it to me. This set, which is made from a viscose and linen blend, does wrinkle a bit, but it’s nothing my little LG Styler can’t make quick work of. It’s also incredibly comfortable. I probably wouldn’t wear the top on its own, since it’s on the shorter side and less versatile than the others, but it’s so effortlessly breezy, both pieces will definitely be in heavy rotation together. My one gripe about this one? It’s dry clean only.
3. Modevante Anya Top and Shorts
Buying this set was a total gamble—I spotted it on the Tiktok shop, and against my better judgment, I pulled the trigger. To my surprise, not only did I receive the exact item I ordered, it actually turned out to be a great little summer set. It is a super thick, high-quality material? No, but in Florida, where it’s 90 degrees everyday, I love that it’’s thin—I’d say almost cottony. A pro tip? The flap on the shorts goes in the back, not the front—I may or may not have worn them backwards four or five times before I figured it out. Whoopsie! *Shrugs*
As you can see, the matching sets I’m loving most for summer 2025 are tailored with elevated details (think chic little buttons) and light, airy materials.
Beyond simply being cute, these little two-pieces:
- Require little to no thought to wear: Eat your heart out, maxi dresses!
- Make you look instantly pulled together. I mean, you’re matching, for Christ’s sake, how much more polished can you get?
- Can be worn individually: Really, it’s like you’re getting two outfits for the price of one.
- Are super summery: A breezy little dream of a getup on a hot day? Yes, please!
