The 2-Piece Outfit Formula We Can't Get Enough of This Summer

last updated 20 June 2016

Since we love off-the-shoulder tops almost as much as we love midi skirts, the pairing of the two could not be more pleasing. Unsurprisingly, both street style stars and bloggers have been seen wearing matching sets of these two styles nonstop, which can only mean one thing—it's officially a summer trend.

If that wasn't enough proof for you, designers like MDS Stripes and fast-fashion retailers like Zara and ASOS have been dishing out quite the selection of this outfit formula this season. The duo is perfect for every summer activity under the sun, from brunch with friends to a hot date night, and is flattering in all the right places. What more could you ask for in a warm-weather outfit?
