Some mornings you have time to plan an outfit. Most mornings you don't. That's the quiet appeal of a matching set: two pieces cut from the same fabric, in the same print, that go together without any guesswork. This month we're releasing our first true set in a long while, the Lexi Bow Top and the matching 31" Lexi Skirt, and it's a good excuse to talk about why sets work so well in a modest wardrobe and how to get the most wear out of one.

Why a matching set earns its place in a modest wardrobe

A set solves two problems at once. First, it removes the "does this go together?" question entirely, because the answer was decided at the sewing machine. Second, it multiplies your outfits. A top and skirt that match also work separately, so one set becomes three looks: the full set, the top with a skirt you already own, and the skirt with a favorite tee. For a wardrobe built on everyday essentials rather than one-time outfits, that math matters.

Sets also read as put-together in a way that's hard to fake. Walking into church or a family gathering in coordinated pieces looks intentional, even when the whole outfit took thirty seconds.

Meet the Lexi Bow Top and the 31" Lexi Skirt

Both pieces are made from a soft waffle-grid fabric with comfortable stretch. The texture gives the set a little dimension, so even the solid-colored details feel special without any shine or fuss.

The Lexi Bow Top

The Lexi Bow Top is a crewneck with double bows at the neckline and bow ties on the 3/4 sleeves. The silhouette is a relaxed swing fit that skims gently over the waist and hips, so it's comfortable for long days and generous with coverage. If you love a feminine detail but want it to stay subtle, the bows are exactly that: sweet, not loud. It joins our full lineup of modest 3/4 sleeve tops at $29.99.

The 31" Lexi Skirt

The matching 31" Lexi Skirt is the easy half of the set. It has a stretch waistband with no zippers or buttons, a straight silhouette, and a full 31" length with no slit, so coverage is never something you have to think about mid-step. It's also $29.99, which means the complete set comes in under $60.

Four prints, one easy formula

The Lexi set comes in four prints, and each one has its own personality.

Boho Patchwork

Paisley, folk-art motifs, and patchwork squares in warm multicolor tones. This is the print for the woman who loves a little wander in her wardrobe. Shop the top and the skirt.

Jaxon Plaid

A bright multicolor check that feels cheerful without being childish. If your closet leans toward solids, this is a friendly first print. Shop the top and the skirt.

Wild Mix

Zebra and leopard blended into one print. It sounds bold, and it is, but the soft texture and modest cut keep it wearable for real life. Shop the top and the skirt.

Berry Plaid

A gentle blush background with rich berry plaid lines. The softest of the four, and a lovely pick for church mornings. Shop the top and the skirt.

How to wear it: together and apart

As the full set

Wear the top untucked over the skirt and let the matching print do the work. Add simple flats or sandals and you're dressed for church, a shower, or family photos. Because the pieces share the same print, the set looks like a dress from a few steps away, with the flexibility of separates.

The top on its own

The Lexi Bow Top pairs naturally with solid skirts. Try it with a denim or twill piece from our classic skirts collection and let the print sit against a quiet base.

The skirt on its own

Flip the formula for the skirt: a solid tee on top, print on the bottom. Our layering tees come in enough colors that you can pull one straight from the print. A cream tee with Boho Patchwork or a black tee with Wild Mix both work without any thought.

A quick tip on "too matchy"

If a head-to-toe print feels like a lot, break the set at the waist with a belt, or layer a solid cardigan over the top half. One solid element gives the eye a place to rest.

Fit notes

Both pieces are tagged maternity friendly. The swing shape of the top and the stretch waistband of the skirt leave room to grow and room to breathe. The set is also offered in a wide size range, including plus sizes; check each product page for the current size chart.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to buy both pieces together?

No. The top and skirt are sold separately, so you can buy the full set, just the piece you'll wear most, or two tops and one skirt if that suits your closet better.

Is the 31" Lexi Skirt a midi or a maxi?

It's a midi. The 31" length lands around mid-calf on most women, long enough for worry-free coverage while staying easy to move in. If you prefer more length, our full skirt collection includes longer options.

Is the set comfortable for all-day wear?

That was the point of the fabric choice. The waffle-grid knit has comfortable stretch, the skirt waistband has no hardware, and the top's swing fit doesn't cling. It's the kind of outfit you forget you're wearing by mid-morning.

How do I style a matching set for church?

Wear it as a full set with simple shoes and minimal jewelry, or pair the Berry Plaid top with a solid skirt from our Sunday Best collection. The bows at the neckline and sleeves already add the finishing touch.
