As someone who could easily be categorized as a “lazy dresser,” I’m always looking for effortless outfit ideas that I know won’t fail me when I’m not in the mood to think or try a bunch of options on. One trick that I’ve found works every time and in any season is cute and classic matching sets. In fact, they’re especially convenient for summer when, most of the time, you don’t even need to worry about matching a jacket to your look. Just add shoes.
With this and the fact that the new season is nearly here on my mind, today I thought I’d round up nine such sets that will make dressing for the new season almost too easy. No really—they might make you never want to put together another outfit again. To see and shop all the sets, which, thanks to our very own Who What Wear collection, all clock in under $80 for both pieces, simply continue on.

Tank and trousers?
Yes, please!
Built-in belts make everything better.
Just add sandals.

See what I mean?

The matching pants really make the look.
I own this jacket-top hybrid, and it’s more useful than you could ever imagine.

A pretty top in an even prettier print.
I had to throw in a shorts set.

A final reminder that matching sets are great investments because you can wear the pieces together or separately, giving you endless outfit options.
