I remember the days in my 20s when I would put so much time and care into what I would wear, which was mostly a peplum top and jeans (early 2000s!). Now as a busy mom of two in my 40s, my priorities for dressing have completely changed. I need something I can put on fast and not think too much about. I often only have 10 minutes to get myself ready in the mornings, which is barely enough time to put on vitamin C and sunscreen, let alone get dressed. 

Enter the two-piece set, which takes the guesswork and drama out of figuring out what to wear, and allows me to look cute and put together in one fell swoop. Amazon has an abundance of matching two-piece sets to help you get spring and summer ready at affordable pieces. Below, shop my 20 top picks. 

Editor-Approved Matching Sets

A major priority in my 40s is comfort. I have suffered at the hands of tight pants and uncomfortable bras for too long and now obsess about how something feels more than it looks. These comfy matching sets are made from buttery soft fabrics and have easy, breezy silhouettes that feel as good as they look. 

Exlura Sleeveless Cotton Striped Two-Piece Outfit

A swingy top and a pair of drawstring shorts are a winning combination, especially when done in such a cute preppy print. This matching set is 100 percent cotton and will wear well wash after wash. I am obsessed with its fun striped colors such as green, coffee, orange and, of course, classic blue. 

Trendy Queen Two-Piece Summer Outfit

When the temperature rises and it’s hard to think about getting dressed in anything, you’ll want to turn to this ribbed set. Made of elastic-waisted shorts and a cropped tank, the fabric is thick enough to keep you from flashing your neighbors but breathable enough to get through a hot June night. 

Prettygarden Casual Track Suit Set

As classic as a two-piece set gets, this one from Prettygarden checks all the right boxes: A boxy, flowy short-sleeve tee, a cropped drawstring pants and a wrinkle-free fabric. Size down for a more fitted look or keep your true size for maximum at-home comfort. 

Matching Sets for Spring/Summer

While I love dressing in matching sets all year, I get super excited for spring and summer thanks to the wide range of colors and styles available. Scalloped hems, stripes, and sweet details will make me feel like I’m on vacation even if I’m only in my backyard. 

Pink Queen Knit Short Set

This knit short set is versatile for running errands, heading to the beach or lounging around your house. The top is breathable and flowy and can be worn open or buttoned up with the included shorts. It comes in eleven colors, all of which feature a sweet scalloped hem. 

Anrabess Linen Pants Set

A two-piece linen set will make you feel like the main character in a Hallmark movie or Elin Hilderbrand novel. Romantic and wholesome, this set is made from a linen blend to help reduce wrinkling. The square-neck crop top perfectly meets the high-waisted pants with two working pockets. Pro tip from the Amazon reviews: Cinch the two pieces together with a wide belt to make it look like a jumpsuit. 

Zesica Linen Lace Trim Two-Piece Set

This linen blend set features an adorable ricrac trim on the crop top and high-waisted shorts. It’s available in nine colors, including rose, sky, and khaki, and sizes S through XL. 

Matching Sets for Travel  

Matching sets made from wrinkle-free fabrics are clutch for traveling. You can arrive at your destination fresh as a daisy, and they take away the need to iron or steam your clothes. I particularly love tops that button or zip for travel because you can mix and match them with other clothes to get more outfits out of less pieces. 

Prinbara Matching Sweat Set

If you, like me, hate how cold airports and airplanes are, then this two-piece zip-up set is for you. The oversized zip-up sweatshirt offers maximum comfort on an airplane and can be used on vacation for chilly mornings, while the pants give you maximum coverage to prevent goosebumps on your legs. 

Tankaneo Two-Piece Knit Striped Set

Arrive in style in this striped short-sleeve and pant set. It’s made from soft and stretchy fabric, and has a loose fit to keep things light and easy. The top is a great multitasker—you can wear it with the pants, open over a swimsuit or buttoned up with jean shorts. 

BWQ Striped Short Sleeve Button Down Short Set

Wear this soft knit button-down two-piece on the airplane or in the car for maximum comfort, then divide the pieces up for easy vacation looks. The stylish stripes are easy to mix and match with basics, and the wrinkle-free fabric makes packing a cinch. 

Matching Sets for Lounging  

My love of two-piece matching sets extends to my at-home loungewear too. I normally never feel put together at home, and a two-piece set can elevate my look and make me feel less disheveled even if I’m just puttering around my house. 

Ekouaer Two-Piece Ribbed Lounge Set

Available in 24 colors, this workhorse ribbed set comes with a pair of bike shorts and a long oversized T-shirt. The fabric is soft enough for lounging around at home, but thick enough to wear out to run errands or have dinner with your friends. Plus, it has a wide size range.

Prettygarden Short Sleeve Top and Wide Leg Pant

Level up your binge-watching with this short-sleeve top and wide-leg pant set. It comes in sizes XS through XL and is available in almost 30 colors. Soft and stretchy with an oversized fit, it also has a split hem for maximum airflow. 

Merokeety Striped Long-Sleeve Top and Shorts Set

I live in the South, so my air conditioning is blasting at full-force for most of the spring and summer months. I like having lounge options like this one with a long-sleeve top for that reason; it’s available in 12 color combos, including trendy ones coffee and khaki.
