These Two-Piece Knit Sets Are Key to Staying Comfortable While Looking Chic
So soft yet so posh.
A matching set is one of the best investments you can make for your wardrobe. Coordinating separates make life a little bit easier—and personally speaking, I take those small wins wherever I can get ’em. Now that fall has really arrived, I decided to do some digging on the best knit two-piece sets to be had this season.
From office-appropriate picks to resort-ready options, I’ve covered the full spectrum here. You’ll find polished duos for when you need to look put together, as well as comfy cozies for, say, the airport. My first step in making this list was to ask my fellow editors for their recommendations; after that, I selected these styles based on their quality and style. Here, find 16 of the best knit sets to shop now.
For soft fabrics and a sea of options, I recommend Leset. The brand specializes in solid, neutral matching separates in a variety of textures and silhouettes.

If I had a dime for every time I’ve heard Dale Arden Chong, senior fashion commerce editor, sing the praises of YanYan Knits, I’d be a marginally richer woman. In her defense, I get it. No other brand is playing with cuts and colors quite like YanYan.

The beauty of most coordinating sets is that you get three times as many potential outfits. I think that resonates especially true with this High Sport pairing. I would wear these pants on heavy rotation.
