How to wear a two piece pants set ten ways
It’s been A WHILE since I’ve shared a HOW-TO, so I figured it was time to throw another one atcha! I’ve also been brainstorming many more ideas to share with you guys, so be on the lookout for more HOW-TOs coming your way soon.
If you’re new around here, I started sharing a “how to wear” or “how to style” series when I was bored AF during covid lockdown. I had a lot of fun doing it (and you guys seemed to enjoy it, too), so I decided to keep it going.
Another reason I started this whole series is that I was spending entirely too much money on new clothes, and my bank account was not impressed, haha.
Full transparency, I used to be the kind of person that felt the need to buy a new outfit for every social event and a whole new wardrobe for every vacation. That’s so silly, and also, who can afford that?
I also thought you had to wear all the latest trends to be considered “fashionable.” Why was the young me so naive?! Thank god I still don’t have that mentality, or I’d probably be rocking low-rise jeans again, but in my thirties (haha). Trust me, it wouldn’t be a pretty sight!
Fashion is all about expressing your personal style and experimenting with different combinations. It’s supposed to be fun!
You also don’t need to buy a whole new wardrobe every time the season changes. Everything I share in these HOW-TOs are things I already own and have most likely worn on repeat over the past year (or more).

Two piece set styling tips
Embrace Color Coordination! If your two piece matching set features a bold or vibrant color or a playful pattern, let it take the spotlight. Keep your accessories and shoes neutral to allow the set to be the focal point of your outfit. Alternatively, if your set is in a neutral color, you can add pops of color through accessories or shoes to create visual interest.
Mix and Match! Don’t be afraid to break up your matching set outfits and mix them with other pieces in your wardrobe. For example, pair the top with high-waisted jeans or a skirt, or style the bottom with a different top. Mixing and matching can give you more outfit options and make your two-piece set feel like a versatile wardrobe staple.
Layer up! Layering is a great way to add depth and creativity to your womens matching set. You can layer a jacket, blazer, or cardigan over the top or wear a blouse or turtleneck underneath for a chic and sophisticated look. Experiment with different layering options to create unique outfits for different occasions.
Belt it Up! Adding a belt to your matching set women can instantly elevate your look. It helps define your waist and adds a touch of polish. Choose a belt that complements the colors and style of your set. A skinny belt can create a more feminine and delicate look, while a wide belt can add structure and a bold statement.
Play with Accessories! Accessories can transform the vibe of your two piece set. Experiment with statement jewelry, scarves, hats, or sunglasses to enhance your overall look. Consider the neckline and length of your set when selecting accessories. For example, if you have a high neckline, focus on statement earrings or a layered necklace to draw attention upward.
Shoes for the Win! The choice of shoes can significantly impact the overall style of your two piece pant set. Pair it with sneakers or flat sandals for a casual and comfortable look. Opt for heels or ankle boots if you want a more elegant or dressed-up appearance. Consider the occasion and the level of formality you want to achieve when choosing your footwear.
Experiment with Proportions! Don’t be afraid to play with proportions when styling your two piece pants set. If you have a cropped top and high-waisted bottoms, it creates a trendy and flattering silhouette. Alternatively, if your top is loose and flowy, pairing it with fitted bottoms can balance the overall look.

How to style a two piece pants set
Add a jacket
It’s funny how something as simple as adding a jacket can completely transform your whole outfit. Each of these outfits is very different, and all I had to do was change a layer and update my shoes. It’s that easy!
- OUTFIT 1: Starting on the left, this is my ideal Fall look! I love that a leather jacket can instantly add some “edginess” to any look.ย
- OUTFIT 2: Aย jean jacket is an absolute MUST for any wardrobe and can literally be worn with anything. I’ve had the same one for years, and it’s still going strong!
- OUTFIT 3: I knowย a white blazer is a little extra, but I love how it completely transformed this casual two piece pants set into a classy outfit for the office.ย
- OUTFIT 4: The last outfit screams Fall, and I’m here for it! A cardigan is another one of those things that every person should have in their closet. I always leave one on my desk chair for when I get chilly!
Summer outfit ideas
It’s basically summer in Florida right now (and probably will be for the next six months, haha), so I’ll likely be rocking these looks for a while. What I love about this womens two piece pants set is that it can literally be mixed and matched with almost any basic you own!
- OUTFIT 1: Starting on the left, overalls have been my jam this summer! Not only are they cute, but they’re SO comfortable and can be worn with many different tops.
- OUTFIT 2: This is the perfect date night look! Pair this top with linen shorts or any bottom (even jeans), add some heels, and you’re date night ready!
- OUTFIT 3: The look is perfect for casual Fridays at the office! The top pictured is actually a bodysuit, but any basic tee will work just fine.ย
Fall outfit ideas
It will probably be awhile until I get the chance to wear any of these outfits (a girl can dream), but here’s a couple of ways to transform this womens two piece pants set for summer into the perfect outfits for Fall.ย
- OUTFIT 1: Starting on the left, wear it with a basic sweater! I’m sure you all have at least one neutral sweater in your closet that will match perfectly with the plaid colors of this womens two piece set. The one I’m wearing is from Nordstrom and is not only the perfect cropped length but is so incredibly soft!
- OUTFIT 2: Faux leather pants are one of my favorite things to wear for Fall! I especially love these ones from Nordstrom because they are the perfect length to wear with booties.
- OUTFIT 3: This is the perfect look to wear from work to happy hour! I love how this leather jacket makes this outfit trendy but still looks professional enough to wear in the office. Pair with any ankle boots you own!
