Matching sets are perhaps the greatest travel style hack: they’re a one-and-done way to look polished and pulled together without actually putting much effort into your outfit. Our favorite sets are as comfortable as they are stylish, and versatile enough to mix and match with most of what’s in our suitcase.

We researched the best matching sets that boast travel-friendly features, from soft elastic waistbands to hidden stash pockets, breathable and moisture-wicking fabrics, and more. Whether you’re looking for a silk set you can dress up for a night out or a stylish sweatsuit that can take you from the airport to yoga class, we’ve got something to suit every traveler’s personal style and budget.

Our Top Picks

Best Overall

Wayre Button Up Crop and Cruiser Pant

Find Your Go-to Travel Outfit With These Stylish Matching Sets for Women (2)

Why We Love It

  • Both pieces are super easy to mix and match with other items in your existing travel wardrobe.

What to Consider

  • Both pieces are on the pricey end and are sold separately.

We’ve researched and tried out dozens of travel-friendly matching sets, and Wayre’s ultra-versatile pieces win out every time. The simple and flattering silhouettes are designed with minimalist packers in mind, ensuring every piece can be worn together or easily matched to anything else in your suitcase. Our go-to is the Button Up Crop and the Cruiser Pant, which are both crafted from the brand’s Like Silk fabric. The material is made up of post-consumer plastic bottles and recycled spandex, making it one of the most sustainable options out there — plus, it’s available in a wide range of sizes and eight shades, including a trendy gingham print. The buttons on the top are even biodegradable!

The top is essentially three shirts in one: wear it tucked and buttoned up for a more polished look, untucked for relaxed vibes, or show a little skin and tie up the front for a more playful look. Its versatility is only part of its appeal: the top boasts a secret stash pocket to protect your valuables, and both pieces are ideal for wearing repeatedly thanks to their antimicrobial, breathable, spill-resistant and wrinkle-proof fabric. The Like Silk material also boasts four-way stretch for full flexibility of movement, plus UPF 30 protection against the sun’s UV rays.

While you can mix and match this with any of Wayre’s bottoms, we love the Cruiser Pant, which boasts a comfy elastic waistband and adjustable drawstring for all-day comfort. It also features four pockets — two side pockets, as well as a hidden one and a secret zippered stash pocket to safely tuck away your wallet.

The Details: 2XS to 3XL | Post-consumer plastic bottles, recycled spandex

Why We Love It

  • The material is substantial yet breathable, and looks far more expensive than it is.

What to Consider

  • Over time, the stitching may need to be reinforced around the underarms and pockets.

This two-piece sweater set from Anrabess is an absolute steal for the price — we’d suggest even stocking up on multiple shades (there’s a veritable rainbow of 26 colors to choose from) in order to switch things up from the full monochrome look. The fit is slightly oversized and slouchy without feeling boxy, which makes it comfortable enough to wear on long-haul flights. We love wearing the pieces together with mules and a chic belt for a casual daytime look, or with sneakers while running errands. The top looks great partially tucked into the matching wide-legged pants or your favorite jeans and can also be worn untucked for a more relaxed look.

The Details: XS to 2XL | Rayon

Best Size-inclusive

Skims Boyfriend Crop Tank

Find Your Go-to Travel Outfit With These Stylish Matching Sets for Women (4)

Why We Love It

  • This soft, roomy set is cozy enough to wear to sleep, but versatile enough to wear on travel days or while running errands.

What to Consider

  • It’s designed to run oversized — if you prefer a closer fit, size down.

Versatile loungewear always has a spot in our suitcase, and lately we’ve been obsessed with this oversized boyfriend set from Skims. The cropped tank and coordinating Boyfriend Loose Pant will work overtime for you: wear them as ultra-cozy pajamas or layer them on busy travel days when you need to look pulled together but don’t want to sacrifice comfort. The roomy tank and straight-leg, relaxed fit pants are crafted from a super soft and stretchy cotton-modal blend, infused with a touch of spandex to ensure full freedom of movement. We love that the set is available in a wide range of sizes, from 2XS to 4X, and comes in three matching shades.

The Details: 2XS to 4X | Cotton, modal, spandex

The 15 Best Loungewear Sets for Women of 2024

Best Shorts Set

Wayre Shift & Snap Tank

Find Your Go-to Travel Outfit With These Stylish Matching Sets for Women (5)

Why We Love It

  • The silky smooth material is odor- and wrinkle-resistant, making it a breeze to pack.

What to Consider

  • Some people may prefer shorts with more coverage — in which case, the brand makes the same pair in a longer Bermuda style.

The perfect summer set doesn’t exi–. Much like our top pick, this set from Wayre is designed to be worn together or separately, and each piece can be paired with any of their other sets or the pieces in your suitcase. It’s made from their magical Like Silk fabric, which is a dream for travelers: it’s odor-resistant, making it easy to get more wear out of between washes, and it’s wrinkle-proof, so you can pack it with confidence.

The Flow Shorts are pleated and high-waisted, with a smooth front band and hidden elasticated backing that ensure they move with you throughout the day, whether you’re indulging in bowls of fresh pasta in Rome or pastries in Paris. Of course, they’re equipped with two side pockets — which zip closed to ward off pickpockets — and a sneaky internal passport compartment. Meanwhile, the breezy tank is a great wardrobe staple that’s made from the same soft performance material, and is versatile enough to pair with just about anything. Scoop it up in one of 11 shades, including charming ginghams, olive green, and ochre yellow.

The Details: 2XS to 3XL | Post-consumer recycled plastic, recycled spandex

Best Skirt Set

Reformation Hays Knit Two Piece

Find Your Go-to Travel Outfit With These Stylish Matching Sets for Women (6)

Why We Love It

  • It’s made from sustainable materials including organic cotton and eco-friendly Tencel lyocell.

What to Consider

  • There aren’t any pockets on the skirt, and it needs to be hand washed.

Reformation makes it easy to shop sustainably with their eco-friendly knits, like this flattering skirt set. It’s crafted from an ultra-soft blend of Tencel lyocell and organic cotton, with a touch of spandex for added stretch. The two-piece is designed to be fitted throughout, with a cropped and sleeveless top and a matching column midi skirt — wear them together as a full set, or switch it up by pairing the top with slacks and the skirt with a cropped sweater.

We love that the simple silhouette is easy to dress up or down: you can wear it with knee-high boots for a night on the town, or with your favorite sneakers for a laidback daytime look. While we love how sleek the pieces are, we wish there were pockets for storing our essentials.

The Details: XS to XL | Tencel lyocell, organic cotton, spandex

Why We Love It

  • This luxuriously soft cashmere set is naturally breathable and temperature regulating — plus, it comes in a wide range of sizes.

What to Consider

  • The hoodie doesn’t have any pockets.

Elevate your loungewear look with this sumptuously soft cashmere set from Naadam. Whether you’re working from home, heading to the gym, or bundling up for a walk around town, this hoodie and jogger combo will take you there in maximal comfort. It’s crafted from 100 percent Mongolian cashmere, a naturally breathable and temperature-regulating fiber which we love for its heavenly soft handfeel.

The hoodie features an adjustable drawstring for a cozy fit, plus a versatile silhouette that’s easy to layer over your favorite top or under your go-to jacket on chilly days. The matching Off-Duty Cashmere Jogger is slim-fit with a drawstring waistband and side pockets, and Naadam lets you bundle the two for major savings. The set is available in 12 shades, from classic camel to limited-edition rust.

The Details: 2XS to 3X | Mongolian cashmere

Best Silk

Lunya Washable Silk High Rise Pant Set

Find Your Go-to Travel Outfit With These Stylish Matching Sets for Women (8)

Why We Love It

  • This darling silk pajama set is chic enough to wear out and about — plus, it’s machine washable.

What to Consider

  • Be sure to air dry this set, as it tends to shrink and fade in the dryer.

Lunya is an editor-loved brand that was at the forefront of the washable silk craze. This pants set is made from 100 percent mulberry silk, which is pre-washed with a sand wash in order to achieve a supple handfeel and to ensure that it’s machine washable. Silks usually need to be dry cleaned, so that’s a major draw with this set — you get all the soft and silky benefits with easy care convenience. Just be sure to lay it flat to dry, as the material is prone to shrinking and fading in the dryer.

While this is technically a pajama set — the high-rise pants boast side slits to offer added ventilation for hot sleepers — trust us when we say it’s chic enough to wear out and about, if you style it accordingly. The button-down top is breezy and breathable, making it a great piece to pair with your favorite shorts or jeans, while the pants, which feature a soft elastic waistband and side pockets, look gorgeous with a cropped sweater. We also love that the set is made with bluesign-approved dyes, which are safer for factory workers and the planet.

The Details: XS to XL | Mulberry silk

The 20 Best Wool Sweaters of 2024

Best Linen

AYR The Pool Boy Linen

Find Your Go-to Travel Outfit With These Stylish Matching Sets for Women (9)

Why We Love It

  • Both the shirt and pants boast functional pockets to conveniently store your small essentials.

What to Consider

  • Linen is prone to wrinkling, so you may want to pack a steamer or wrinkle-release spray to keep your pieces looking their best.

Is there anything chicer than a linen pantsuit? Whether you’re wandering through hillside towns in the South of France or touring temples in Bangkok, this easy, breezy set will keep you looking and feeling cool. It’s crafted from 100 percent Irish linen, which is soft (unlike some linen, which can be slightly scratchy) and allows for plenty of air flow.

We love that the pants boast an elastic waistband, so you’ll feel comfortable wearing them all day long — in warmer weather, we’d consider this a dreamy travel-day outfit, given how pulled together yet low-maintenance it is. Both the shirt and the matching Tourist Pant feature spacious pockets, where you can tuck your phone, keys, and other small essentials for easy access.

Our only gripe is that linen tends to wrinkle easily, so you’ll want to come prepared with a travel steamer or wrinkle-release spray.

The Details: XS to XL | Irish linen

Most Versatile

Reformation Frances Two Piece

Find Your Go-to Travel Outfit With These Stylish Matching Sets for Women (10)

Why We Love It

  • Cozy and warm, this is luxuriously soft loungewear that’s designed with maximum comfort in mind.

What to Consider

  • It’s pricey.

Soft and silky, this minimalist two-piece set from Reformation is an elevated wardrobe staple for any fashionable traveler. It’s crafted from a fluid blend of viscose and rayon, which feels like silk but is more durable and breathable.

Wear this set together for a low-lift, one-and-done outfit that looks incredibly polished while requiring minimal effort. You can keep things casual with sneakers or ballet flats, or dress it up with a pair of strappy sandals and your favorite accessories. We love that the pieces are easy to pack and work great as separates, too — pair the cropped tank with any bottoms for a breezy look, and throw on the pants for long travel days or late nights on the town.

The Details: XS to XL | Viscose, rayon

Why We Love It

  • The cropped, relaxed fit of this stylish sweatsuit is versatile enough to throw on after a workout or for running errands in maximal comfort.

What to Consider

  • It runs oversized— size down if you prefer a more fitted look.

Leave your ratty old sweatsuit at home — this best-selling duo from Alo Yoga is as fashionable as it is functional, and is designed to take you straight from coffee with friends to running errands around town or hitting the yoga studio for a flow session. The plush, lightweight material folds up into next to nothing in your suitcase to boot, offering you all the warmth and coziness of your favorite sweats without any of the traditional bulk.

The roomy, relaxed fit is flattering and of-the-moment, but consider sizing down if you prefer a closer fit. The matching Muse Sweatpant features a soft elastic waistband that never digs into skin, plus an adjustable drawstring to help find your perfect fit. While there’s no kangaroo pocket on the hoodie — which we appreciate, as the sleek silhouette makes it easier to mix and match with other items in our wardrobe — there are three pockets on the pants to stash your phone, wallet, and other belongings.

The Details: Top: XS to L, Bottoms: 2XS to L | Polyester, rayon, spandex

Best Pajamas

Eberjey Gisele Long PJ Set

Find Your Go-to Travel Outfit With These Stylish Matching Sets for Women (12)

Why We Love It

  • This temperature-regulating set is crafted from super-soft tencel modal that you’ll want to live in all year round.

What to Consider

  • The pants don’t have any pockets.

Whether you’re lounging around the house or dozing off for the night, there’s no dreamier set to cozy up in than the Eberjay Gisele Tencel Modal Long PJ Set. Crafted from buttery soft tencel modal and a touch of spandex for added stretch, they’re some of the most comfortable pajamas we’ve ever worn. We love the timeless men’s PJ silhouette and classic contrast piping, which gets a feminine touch thanks to the luxurious drape of the knit fabric.

The material, which is Oeko-Tex certified to be free of harmful substances, is also temperature regulating, so hot sleepers can luxuriate in their beauty sleep without worrying about sweating or overheating. Best of all, it’s machine washable, so you can toss it in the laundry for quick and convenient care. Scoop it up in one of nine vibrant hues, like classic black, a gorgeous light rose, or a soft sky blue. You can even monogram it for a personal touch, which also makes a thoughtful gift for yourself or a loved one.

The Details: XS to 2XL | Tencel modal, spandex

Best Thermal

Wheat Denver Thermal Mock Neck

Find Your Go-to Travel Outfit With These Stylish Matching Sets for Women (13)

Why We Love It

  • This luxuriously soft and lightweight thermal set will keep you warm without adding bulk to your bag.

What to Consider

  • The pants look more definitively like loungewear than the top, and may be too casual to wear out and about.

Minimalists will love this sleek and streamlined thermal set from Wheat, which is crafted from ultra-soft cotton and modal thermal with just the right amount of stretch. The mock neck top is a fantastically versatile addition to any traveler’s wardrobe, as it’s cozy enough to wear to lounge or sleep in, yet chic enough to throw on with jeans and heeled boots or sneakers for a comfortable, pulled-together day-to-night look.

While it’s available in four colors, including two trendy shades of blue, we’d opt for a neutral shade like black or white in order to maximize the number of outfits you could mix-and-match. The top is designed with a relaxed silhouette and wide hem, while the matching Telluride Pant is body-skimming and flares out slightly at the ankle. Both pieces are lightweight and breathable, meaning they’ll take up minimal suitcase space and allow for plenty of air flow while keeping you warm and cozy. Best of all, the set is machine washable for easy care — it can even be tossed in the dryer on low heat.

The Details: XS to XL | Cotton, modal thermal

Tips for Buying Matching Sets for Women

Consider care instructions

Low-maintenance clothing is key when traveling — no one wants to spend their vacation days at the laundromat, after all. Look for matching sets that are made from quick-drying and breathable fabrics, such as linen, which stays fresh for longer in between washes. It’s also best to prioritize pieces that are machine washable, as you can simply toss them in the laundry instead of tracking down (and shelling out for) a dry cleaner.

Prioritize versatility

Suitcase space is precious: it’s crucial to focus on packing versatile pieces that are easy to mix and match together, and which can be worn on a variety of occasions. Matching sets that can be worn together or paired individually with other pieces in your wardrobe are ideal, as you can maximize your outfit options while cutting down on the number of items you need to bring. Consider the shoes and accessories you’re bringing along as well, as you can create even more outfits simply by adding a belt or jewelry.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are matching sets good for travel?

    Matching sets are excellent and ultra-versatile options for light packers looking to maximize their travel wardrobe. They’re an easy, low-lift way to look polished without putting much fuss into your appearance — perfect for busy travel days when you’d like to look good while still feeling comfortable. In this list, we’ve rounded up sets that prioritize travel-friendly features, like plenty of pockets and breathable, wrinkle-resistant materials that are easy to care for.

  • How can I style a matching set?

    Matching sets make it easy to style yourself, as you can wear them together for a cohesive outfit or switch it up by bringing your other pieces into the mix. It’s important to opt for a set that can also be styled separately — being able to mix and match with other pieces in your suitcase will minimize the amount of clothing you need to bring, while maximizing your outfit potential. Opting for a set in a neutral tone and versatile silhouette is also key, as that will ensure you’re best able to pair it down with your favorite jeans and sneakers or dress it up with heels and accessories.
