This Easy, Breezy Matching Set Has Become My Go-to Summer Travel Look — Plus, 6 Other Must-shop Outfits

I think summer travel is my absolute favorite to pack for, and that’s coming from someone who basically lives out of a suitcase on 30+ trips a year. As a Miami girl, I’m forever drawn to easy, effortless looks and fun colors that instantly spice up my wardrobe. Bonus points if it’s an outfit that can work for an array of different activities and can be paired with other pieces to make several looks.

This summer I’m fully in love with matching linen sets, and I found one at Old Navy that I can’t get enough of. Sold separately, the Linen Blend Boyfriend Shirt and matching shorts were exactly what I was looking for as I prepared to pack for back-to-back trips to Lake Como and Mykonos. Comfortable, cute, and easy to pack, this set is a must for any upcoming summer travels. 

I love the elastic waist and deep pockets on the shorts, plus there are pockets on the back that I think elevates the look a bit. The long sleeved button down shirt is the perfect amount of oversized and is easy to roll the sleeves for that clean 3/4-length look.

Linen-blend Striped Shorts

Linen-blend Striped Boyfriend Shirt

Available in a few different color options — some striped and some solid — it’s easy to mix and match pieces from this set or wear them separately. While I tend to travel with a portable steamer, I’ve also found the material is light enough to hang in the bathroom while taking a hot shower to make any wrinkles instantly fade.

Love this set, but think you want a few more options? Here are six similar sets that are just as easy and breezy — and they’re available at Amazon with fast Prime shipping.

Okay, so the thin stripes might make this set look slightly pajama-y, but pajama-chic is totally in style. Easy to dress up or down, the button down long sleeved shirt is slightly oversized making it perfect for that beloved boyfriend look. The elastic waistband and pockets make the shorts easy to wear and extra comfy. Plus, there are eight different colors to choose from.

Apafes Summer Set

This mainly cotton set (it’s 5 percent linen) is brightly colored and ideal for any upcoming beach trips this summer. The high-waisted drawstring shorts are super flattering and comfortable. One shopper called it a “perfect vacation outfit,” saying they felt stylish and loved not having to think about what to wear on a family cruise. The set comes in both neutral hues and some statement-making brights like hot pink and orange. 

Grace Karin 2-piece Set

A bit more structured than the other options, this set features a top that’s almost blazer-like with a structured lapel collar and front pocket. Available in apricot, army green, light blue, black, and pink, the stylish set is breathable and comfortable. One shopper shared that it’s great for summer, adding it “could be used as a bathing suit cover-up or a casual outfit.” Plus there’s currently a 50 percent off coupon, making this set a steal at just $18.

Fixmatti Linen Lounge Set

The cute scalloped detail is what sets this outfit apart from the rest. Available in a handful of colors and styles, it’s got that pajama-chic vibe all figured out. Wear it buttoned up or with a tank top underneath or mix and match the shirt and shorts and you’ve got endless ways to wear this set. Shoppers say it has a crisp cotton feel that softens after a few wears, making it super comfortable to throw on at home or style to go out and about.

Kclroeo 2-piece Set

This classic summer set has that crepe textured fabric that adds a bit of dimension to the look — and also means you’re more likely to get away without having to steam or iron it. Available in seven different colors, this set is a more true-to-fit style versus those that go for the oversized look. When buttoned you’ll notice there’s no collar, which is great for those looking for a V-neck shape that makes it easier to show off any necklaces you might add to complete the look.
