The art of appearing effortless isn’t in the lack of effort itself. If anything, it’s putting things together that have a laid-back touch, whether it be in fabrication, silhouette, or color coordination. The best matching linen sets possess an inherent unfussy ease that allow you look composed yet unhurried.

Similar to an airy cotton dress, a matching linen set is as versatile as it is comfortable. Picture a coastal Sunday spent at an upstate gathering—a checked blouse and matching skirt complements the scenery. What outfit looks best after a lazy day spent on the beach? 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 test out, like those by Toteme and James Perse in classic white or blue. Or, you can play up the essence of the season with brighter hues, from Madewell’s red striped short set, to Donni’s strapless top and trousers in butter yellow. For a modern twist on the linen duo, look to Staud’s halterneck and pant pairing or Merlette’s wrap blouse and midi skirt—either ideal for date nights and evenings spent catching-up on a rooftop patio. These and more of our favorite matching linen sets to wear this summer, below.
