Why matching sets work

A matching set creates one long, uninterrupted line of color, which makes you look taller and more put-together. It also takes the guesswork out of getting dressed: one piece decides the other.

Set styling tips

  • Shoes: white or neutral sneakers let the set stand out. Contrasting sneakers add a pop.
  • Layers: a denim or track jacket over a set breaks it up nicely.
  • Undershirt: a white tee peeking out at the hem adds a crisp edge.

Women's sets

Pair a cropped hoodie with flared or ruched sweatpants, like the Vintage Washed Cropped Fleece Hoodie with the Women’s Vintage Wash Ruched Sweatpants, for a fitted, feminine take on the co-ord.

FAQ

Do sets have to be the same fabric?

No, but similar fabrics look best. Fleece with fleece, cotton with cotton.

Can I wear the pieces separately?

That's the best part. Each piece doubles your wardrobe options.

Are matching sets just loungewear?

Not with heavyweight, washed fabrics and good shoes. They look deliberate and street-ready.
