Having spent a fair amount of time poring over the new arrivals section, I’ve noticed a ton of summer-perfect trends hitting online over the past few weeks: Alongside drop-waist dresses and Mary Jane shoes, fashion brands everywhere you look are embracing the bustier trend.
Already embraced by some of the biggest names in the fashion set, two-piece sets have proven to be a popular choice for sophisticated summer style. Styled by Karlie Kloss for a weekday event, the model played to the elegance of the two-piece ensemble by taking a less-is-more approach to her outfit.

Often designed from stiffer linen or cotton fabrics, two-piece sets are an elevated alternative to the cotton dresses that dominate this season. While we’re enamoured by the beautiful pant and bustier sets on the market, we’ve also found some super chic skirt versions that make polished summer outfits look super easy.
A favorite of fashion editors around the world, this elegant look is often a favorite during fashion month due to its effortless vibe and comfortable design.
We’re seeing the trend flourish across the high street and designer brands this season, so read on to discover the styles we’re loving right now.
