Ideal for the office, lazy days at home, and traveling
I’m in the midst of revamping my spring capsule wardrobe, and after consulting celebrity stylist Jenni Lee and personal stylist Elizabeth Kosich, one thing is for certain: I need more matching sets.
Matching sets are a smart investment because “they do all the thinking for you,” Lee tells PEOPLE. Though, she also argues that their “real secret power” lies in “how much versatility you can get out of each piece on its own.” That’s something she calls “styling strategy” — and it’s easy to see why.
Inspired by Lee and Kosich’s tips, I found the best spring matching sets for the office, lounging at home, and everything in between, starting at $32 on Amazon.

Zesica Sleeveless Vest and Wide-Leg Pants Set
$70 $56 at Amazon
Sleeveless blazer suiting is “trend-proof” and the ultimate spring styling hack that “layers flawlessly for quick wardrobe turnarounds,” says Kosich. Plus, this vest’s gold statement button doubles as “built-in jewelry," taking the guesswork out of accessorizing. Complete the look with ballet flats, chunky loafers, or slingback heels.
Prettygarden Half-Zip Sweatshirt and Lounge Pants Set
$52 at Amazon
Refresh your loungewear collection with this buttery-soft set that’s perfect for lazy days at home, traveling, and everyday errands. The half-zip sweatshirt and stretchy pants can be styled as an “one-and-done look or broken apart and paired with separates,” says Kosich. The set can also be easily “transitioned from season to season,” she adds.
Cozypoin Gingham Short-Sleeve Top and Pants Set
$33 $32 at Amazon
While matching sets typically function “as anchor staples,” Kosich suggests utilizing this ruffled gingham set as “a capsule accent piece instead.” Style the outfit with platform sandals and a shoulder purse, or tone down the look with a belt bag and sneakers. “Either way, this suit makes a statement,” Kosich tells PEOPLE.
HangNiFang Cap-Sleeve Top and Maxi Skirt Set
$39 at Amazon
A cap-sleeve top and pleated maxi skirt make this set the perfect throw-on-and-go outfit. Wear it to baby showers, graduation parties, bridal showers, rooftop happy hours, and brunch with the girls — just throw on your favorite outfit-completors (like a necklace stack or hoop earrings), and don’t forget a jean jacket in case the breeze picks up.

“Double denim never disappoints when it comes to versatility and style,” says Kosich. Put your own spin on the Canadian tuxedo with this button-down denim vest and wide-leg jeans set. And as Kosich points out, denim is always on trend — “making this set a smart [capsule wardrobe] investment.”
Btfbm Sleeveless Blazer and Shorts Set
$53 $46 at Amazon
Available in sizes S–XXL, this dressy set includes a sleeveless double-breasted blazer with a notched lapel and flap pockets, and high-waisted shorts with exposed front seams. From the office to date nights, “it personifies ‘business up top and party down below’ in a single look,” says Kosich. Take your pick of 14 colors.
Kirundo 3-Piece Lounge Set with Long Cardigan
$49 $43 at Amazon
According to Kosich, the “genius” of a set is its “mixing-and-matching versatility,” — and this three-piece lounge set proves her point. It features a slim-fit cropped tank top, stretchy joggers, and a lightweight long cardigan. “The pieces all work great together or separately for different outfits,” per a five-star reviewer.
Lepunuo Button-Down Shirt and Wide-Leg Pants Set
$33 at Amazon
This wear-anywhere set comes with a button-down shirt and coordinating wide-leg pants with an elastic waist and deep pockets. The styling options are limitless here — wear the shirt open over a fitted tee with sneakers for a streetwear vibe, or create a polished silhouette by wearing it buttoned and half-tucked into the pants.
