Matchy-Matchy: Our Favorite Sets This Fall
Nothing makes me feel more put together than a matching set. It automatically says to the world, “If I had enough energy this morning to put an outfit together, think of how put-together the rest of my life must be!” Even if that isn’t always the case, fall has ushered in some new collections and ways to match that are fun, versatile and bright.
Take any of these looks from the gym, to class, to your errands or maybe just to your couch. Your call.

These sets come with endless options thanks to Set Active’s clean color scheme and consistent designs. With matching sets that don’t look like you have just been working out, you can definitely take their clothes to your weekend errands, to class or wherever without feeling like you are about to hit the gym. Their line of colors for this month also scream the jewel tones that I love for fall. Win-win! If you want to layer up, go for a sweatshirt with leggings or biker shorts.

Myth: You can’t wear white after labor day.
Fact: You totally can and totally should.
This set from alo perfectly encompasses why I love fall: long coats and leggings but still versatile enough to layer down for the hotter days! Plus, white is flattering any time of the year. For the ideal monochrome look, matching shoes are the perfect addition to look effortlessly chic, and there are simply hundreds of options these days to choose from. Every one of your favorite brands probably has a white sneaker to add to your closet, so pick your favorite!

Speaking of shoes…my prediction is that we are going to be seeing a lot more from New Balance this fall and winter. They have been killing it with their lifestyle shoes, but their running shoes are also really cool! With the thick-sole silhouette staying strong from the popularity of Hoka this summer, New Balance is getting creative and coming out with shoes I would wear with any of these outfits. Whether you channel a chill look with their lifestyle options, or are looking for functionality, I am really excited about adding New Balance to my collection.

While this is a complete shift from a white-on-white set, that kind of look can be a little daunting for the accident-prone person, myself included. These skirt and tank sets from Beyond Yoga are perfect from day-to-day activities to hitting the gym or perhaps even the tennis courts. The bright colors are still fall-appropriate and will give you a major confidence boost with their flattering cuts and colors. These cuts add function to the silhouette of the popular workout dresses, since they can be cumbersome to take on and off (if you know what I mean). Skirts complement anyone that wears them, so take advantage of wearing them while it’s still nice out.

My final plug is to find a pair of yoga pants you love this fall. This set by Outdoor Voices is so sleek and flattering, and their fall collection is off the hook. Yoga pants are definitely here to stay, so invest in some that make you look and feel amazing. With sleek hair and platform sneakers, yoga pants go from lazy-girl energy to . . . dare I say girlboss energy? Whatever vibe you are channeling in your yoga pants, go all in and pair them with a matching sports bra or top.
Stay matchy, go get a workout set and be your best self today.
Strike Out,
