You heard it here first. Two piece outfits are the key to your looking fashionable and pulled together this summer and next fall, no matter what your age, style, budget or political party. (lol, just stuck that in there, ’tis the season). Way cooler than a dress or two un-matching separates. Wear together, wear apart. Perfect for travel.

The “two-pieced-ness” of your outfit can be either subtle or statement making, but no matter what, this is not you putting together two pieces in the same color from two different designers. Nor is this a pantsuit or a skirt suit. These chic little tops & bottoms are made to be together, and it shows. You can rest easy knowing that as separates, these are still a practical purchase (well, maybe not that GIAMBATTISTA VALLI at the end)(of course my favorite).
We found two piece outfits for black tie, for cocktails, for weddings, for casual, for parties and more. Some here in local boutiques and too many to count on my dreamstate addiction ModaOperandi. For the youngsters, the two piece seems to require exposed skin, crop tops and shorts. For the rest of us, their are a couple of peek-a-boo options and some very elegant choices.
