There’s no denying the ease and comfort of a flowy summer dress, but they’re not necessarily the most practical garments — especially in the presence of a strong gust of wind.
Once the temperatures start to climb, shorts are the perfect alternative to a dress or skirt that still provides plenty of coverage. This summer, shorts are even getting a vacation-ready upgrade in the form of matching shorts sets.
Spotted on influencers and runways alike, think of shorts sets as the lower-maintenance version of a sundress or jumpsuit. Slightly more polished than the pandemic staple, sweatsuits, they’re equally as comfortable and can be dressed up as much or as little as your social calendar requires.
Whether you’re planning on wearing them as loungewear or as you dip your toes back into summer get-togethers, the easy to wear style offers a playful take on summer dressing. If you’re ready to dive into the trend, shop 11 of our favourite short sets below.
