While some people see traveling by flight as an occasion to dress up, others see comfort as the main priority when planning travel ensembles. In the end, when we began researching traveling clothes, we found the idea of a Pretty Little Thing two-piece set very appealing. Not only were they comfortable and loose enough without us having to readjust every few hours, but they were also versatile and stylish. At the same time, we loved the put-together look so that they didn’t feel simply like upscale pajama sets but were rather true outfits. If that wasn’t enough, we also loved the idea of packing multiple looks, which didn’t take up too much space in our luggage either.
Whether we were navigating airport security, sipping coffee at roadside cafes, or exploring museums, these two-piece sets did not disappoint. Not only did they create full outfits, but we could also wear them separately with other pieces, thus curating entirely unique looks! Check out this comprehensive and detailed guide to the best two-piece sets from the brand.

How To Choose The Best Pretty Little Thing Two-Piece Set?
Climate
One of the top factors we considered for buying two-piece sets was the climate at our final destination. After all, we wouldn’t be able to wear moisture-wicking shorts sets in cold weather, can we? Or a full, toasty lounge set in extreme heat, either, for that matter. Next, we considered our activities at our destination for determining the degree of formality for the two-piece sets. For instance, those products that have shorts can be paired with a blazer, jacket, or even a Pretty Little Thing coat, working as an informal work or casual sightseeing summer trip outfit in Europe. However, a comfy lounge set might not. They’re better for colder weather, overnight flights, etc.
Versatility and comfort
Of course, versatility and comfort have always been two major contributors to our positive travel experiences, especially when we’ve had to endure extended train or car trips or long-haul flights. Additionally, we’d look for versatility in order to pack and dress more efficiently.
How can I style a matching set?
Aside from mixing and matching sets, a great way to jazz up and style a matching set is by adding statement jewelry like vintage Etsy jewelry or smart walking boots.
What are the benefits of a two-piece set?
Besides being comfortable, two-piece sets are versatile as they can be mixed and matched, giving us more freedom in styling our clothing.
What is a matching two-piece set called?
They’re also known as co-ords or co-ord sets, which are basically outfits made from matching fabrics, prints, or colors.
