Recently, Team Scary Mommy got started on the subject of sets — easy, breezy tops and bottoms to keep you cool that also don’t require thinking about what matches. Turns out we’ve got strong opinions, and we’re all either wearing them or actively shopping for them. And we decided to share them with you guys, because it’s too damn hot.
Old Navy Linen-Blend Set
You’ll have to do a bit of mixing and matching to assemble your set at Old Navy… but at the same time, that’s the upside. Opt for a square-neck crop top or 90s-style vest… or a long-sleeve boyfriend shirt, to keep the sun and the mosquitos off. And then choose your own adventure with the bottoms — shorts, wide-leg pants, maybe even a skort.
Old Navy Crinkle-Gauze Set
If you want to go even lighter than linen, Old Navy also has a cotton gauze. Shorts are here!
ANRABESS Women’s Summer 2 Piece Outfit
This Amazon set includes both the top and bottom and comes in a genuinely dazzling array of colors. It’s got a slightly cropped top and wide-leg crop pants to match.
ANRABESS Women’s 2 Piece Outfits Linen Set
Or maybe you’re more of a square-neck gal, yourself? Amazon’s got that, as well, in a similarly impressive array of colors.
Universal Thread Linen Shorts & Long-Sleeve Set
Of course Target is in the mix, too! This is another mix-and-match set — which is nice when so many of us are totally different sizes on the top and the bottom — and you can find the long-sleeved button-down here. That blue is gorgeous!
A New Day Linen Tank-Top Set
If you’ve gotta have your arms out come summertime, this mix-and-match variety (also from Target!) includes a cropped linen tank and wide-legged pants.
Dokotoo Women’s 2 Piece Outfits Sweatsuit
Here’s another potential direction: sweatsuit fabric. The texture gives it a bit more of a finished look, so you can wear it around town… while feeling like you’re still at home on your couch.
Universal Standard Mix & Match Linen
Universal Standard has built an entire brand on being size inclusive — to the point that their “medium” is actually an 18-20. And something that’s fun is they’ve built the product page for their linen offerings so that you can mix and match super, super easily. Go with shorts or long pants or even joggers, then pair that with a tunic, a short-sleeved shirt, or even a top that ties at the waist.
