Matching Sets

Women's matching sets: buy together, wear apart

A matching set takes the guesswork out of getting dressed. Forcast matching sets pair a blazer, jacket, vest or top with pants, a skirt or a skort cut from the same fabric, so they hang together as a suit and split into separates the rest of the week. They come in sizes 4 to 18 and suit women who want a corporate wardrobe that works in combinations, not just single outfits.

How the sets are built

Each set is named after its family. The Jennifer set includes a short sleeve blazer, straight leg pants and a tailored mini skort. The Harper set pairs a cropped jacket, a scoop neck top and straight leg pants. Lydia and Thea offer a fitted waist blazer or scoop neck blazer over bootleg pants. The Nikki family adds a longline or collared vest with tailored elastic-waist pants. Search the name and you will find every piece in the family.

Choosing your set

For a formal office, pick a blazer and pant set in a plain colour or a pinstripe. For a warmer workplace, choose a vest and pant set and skip the jacket. For a mix of desk days and weekends, a cropped jacket with a matching top and pants gives three pieces that all work on their own. Think about what you already own: a set in black or navy will pair with the most.

Wearing the pieces apart

The blazer from a set goes over a satin blouse and jeans on a Friday. The pants work with any knit top or shirt. The vest layers over a white shirt in winter. A skort with a plain tee is a summer weekend outfit. Because each piece is sold on its own, you can choose different sizes for top and bottom.

Fabric and fit

Sets are cut in suiting blends with a little stretch so the jacket and pants move together. Check the size guide for each piece rather than assuming one size across the set. For two-piece suiting, see suit sets; for tailored separates, work jackets and blazers and work pants.
