One trend that is taking the fashion world by storm is printed match sets. This trend has been spotted in numerous stores, on celebrities, and is also now loved by fashion bloggers. It was considered a fashion faux pas to sport an ensemble that would be seen as too “matchy-matchy”, but times have changed and this long time fashion faux pas is the latest summer fashion trend. Though one might think that having an identical print or color for a top and bottom would not lend itself well to the versatility of styling an outfit, there are many ways that one can personalize and incorporate matching print sets into her own wardrobe.
Girly
If your style exudes a more feminine feel, then the skirt sets are right up your alley. Accessorize your ensemble with your favorite heels, perhaps a pop of pink, and you are ready to hit the town.
Glam
The beauty of the matching print sets is that they can be dressed up or dressed down. Opt for a fuller skirt for a more glam feel or go bold and fabulous with sequins.
Classic
To achieve a classic, simplistic look, neutral prints are your best friends. Even with neutral prints, there are many styles that can be achieved. For a more business chic feel, a pencil skirt paired with a peplum top is always a classic. If you’re going for a more casual look, you can sport the ever-popular crop top with high-waisted shorts.
Boho
Summer marks the time for music festivals filled with people rocking boho chic ensembles. For your next concert, go with either a fun tropical print or even a bold color matching set to make you stand out in the crowd. The loose-fitting, off-the-shoulder look gives this trend a more laid-back vibe – perfect for any summer outing.
Edgy
Matchy-matchy and edgy are not two styles that would normally go hand-in-hand, but somehow the matching set trend makes the two a perfect match. Pair your top and bottom with some killer heels or boots, throw on your favorite leather jacket and your outfit transforms into a head-turning, edgy masterpiece.
Whether it’s a red carpet event, a night out on the town, or a girl’s day out and about, matching print sets can be styled with anyone’s wardrobe and for any occasion. Step out and show everyone that matchy-matchy is the new “it thing” to be wearing this summer.
