These Free People Matching Sets Will Take You From The Sofa To Socializing

It’s summer — it’s hot, it’s humid, it’s sticky. The last thing you want to do is spend precious time and energy thinking about what to wear, which is why you’ll find me living in matching sets all season long. Chances are I’ll be wearing the same brand every time: Free People (or FP Movement, their in-house activewear line). Why? Simply, they make my favorite co-ords on the market that tick all the right boxes: high-quality, functional and comfortable designs that are also on-trend and versatile. For example, my beloved Hailee Sweater Set, $128, which I now own in three colors and that I’ve worn on a flight, to the beach, out for brunch, to a music festival, and to lounge in while recovering from said music festival; all in the last two months alone (it was a major hit at Glastonbury FYI, I got lots of compliments). It’s probably the coziest item in my closet.

So, not wanting to gatekeep my downtime fave, I’ve rounded up the very best of Free People’s matching sets — each of which can take you from the sofa to socializing, no sweat (it’s all about the styling, folks).

If you own just one matching set, it should be this one — an ultra-versatile linen-blend cami top and flowy, wide-leg pants situation that can take you from a work meeting to a dinner date, and that will save your vacation packing. This is especially thanks to the high-cut sides of the camisole and the subtle flash of skin they offer — a flattering design choice that sets it apart (pun intended) from your typical linen co-ord.

The bubble skirt trend isn’t about to burst anytime soon, as this romantic set proves. Better yet, it neatly ticks off another top 2025 trend: summery butter yellow.

The open, waffle knit of this set is perfect for summer loungewear: it keeps you warm and toasty when you need it, but is also super breathable. The texture also elevates the set, so it’s easy to dress up for more social events (this is my go-to hangover brunch outfit when paired with sneakers and a boxy leather jacket).

This set feels just as cozy as your PJs, but the strapless, bandeau-style top and cut-out waterfall silhouette elevate everything. Add a pair of heels and statement earrings, and you have yourself a casual-cool summer party look. (Bonus: this set is made from a linen and cotton blend, so it’s perfect for humid temperatures.)

If, like me, you live in bike shorts and an array of ratty old T-shirts in the summer, this is a welcome refresh and upgrade that’s just as comfy but looks much more put together.

The elasticated, tapered ankles and cropped design of the top make this set ideal for anything from low-impact yoga to weekend hikes in the countryside.

Early morning flight? This light-knit set is basically pajamas in disguise that you can wear on the plane and to the beach once you touch down, keeping you cozy all along the way. Genius.

Talk about summer capsule wardrobes — there are endless uses for this cotton skirt set, especially with a tee that is perfectly cropped.

The name speaks for itself here. This sporty, ribbed, light-knit set is a summer alternative to your usual sweatpants for WFH, post-workout recovery, running errands, and all kinds of everyday activities.

Sometimes the sexiest outfits are the simplest ones. Case in point: this minimalist tube top and maxi skirt combo.
