Like a breezy cotton dress, a matching linen set is both comfortable and versatile. Picture a coastal Sunday at an upstate gathering—a checked blouse and matching skirt fit right in. What looks best after a lazy beach day? A printed two-piece set worn over a printed bikini, of course.

There are tailored button-up sets with matching wide-leg pants (or shorts!) to try, like those from Toteme and James Perse in classic white or blue. Or you can embrace the season with brighter colors, from Madewell’s red striped short set to Donni’s strapless top and trousers in butter yellow. For a modern take on the linen duo, check out Staud’s halterneck and pants pairing or Merlette’s wrap blouse and midi skirt—both are perfect for date nights or catching up on a rooftop patio.
