13 New York City ‘It’ Girl Lounge Sets — From $7
1. Our Favorite: Throw on this ribbed outfit set for a Saturday coffee run, then add gold hoops and slide sandals for dinner. The wide legs move beautifully when you walk.
2. Hamptons Weekend: Bold nautical stripes give this sweater and shorts set pure coastal energy. The chunky pattern does the styling work, so you can skip the accessories.
3. Pretty Print: Slip on this head-turning outfit for Pilates class, then keep it on for the flight. The front seams subtly lengthen your legs, so you’ll look as tall as a model.
4. Yacht Wife: Crisp stripes give this nautical-inspired set a rich Mediterranean feel (without the resort markup). The shape skims your body without clinging.
5. Sassy Skort: Designed with built-in shorts, this two-piece skort set prevents flashing mishaps while out in the city. We also appreciate the quarter-zip top that gives it a sporty polish. Read: The set goes nicely with sneakers and slides alike.
6. Effortlessly Polished: If picking out an outfit feels exhausting, this simple two-piece is the easiest solution. The solid top and print pant combo appears expensive without trying.
7. Dreamy and Drapey: Lounge sets usually look like, well, loungewear. However, this silky wonder passes for actual going-out clothes, thanks to the drape-like fabric and rich color options.
8. July MVP: A lightweight tank and shorts duo for under $20 makes this set a low-stakes win. The fabric breathes, which matters when it’s 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
9. Boho Babe: Pair this printed two-piece set with leather sandals and a stack of bangles for a wine bar evening. The print carries your whole look.
10. Picnic Party: Everything about this gingham-print set channels retro charm. The wide legs keep it modern.
11. Travel Staple: Pull on this sweat-wicking outfit for a 6 a.m. flight, then walk straight into your midday meeting without changing. The mock neck reads professional, even after eight hours in economy.
12. Pajama-Like: At just $7, this pajama-like outfit costs less than a latte, but looks intentional enough for your morning coffee run. Brown is optional, but not really!
13. Country Club: A relaxed top and matching skirt give this preppy number real country-club vibes. Cap sleeves cover what tanks don’t.
