After the pandemic, there has been a rise in lounge wear as people have begun working from home, and there has been an overall shift to prioritize comfort over formality in daily apparel. 

Matching sets first rose to fame in the early 2000s, with Juicy Couture and Adidas tracksuits becoming extremely popular with both celebrities and teenagers. Around the 2010s these outfits went out of style, often being seen as lazy and unattractive.  

During 2023-2024 many famous influencers and celebrities like Alix Earle, Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez popularized this type of apparel.

Now matching sets are making a comeback. These matching sweat suits are being mass produced by many popular brands including Victoria’s Secret, White Fox Boutique, Aerie, Alo Yoga, Edikted and Holister.

These sweatsuits provide comfort, while also appearing clean because the outfit is made for you. Wearing a matching set can make getting ready in the morning easier as your outfit is already coordinated, almost like wearing a uniform. 

Though sets are often bought as a pair, they can also be worn separately and are easily able to mix and match. The prices of the sets can range from $20-$60 per piece making the total price between $40-$120. 

These outfits can be worn as a travel outfit, to school, to the gym, to shop or to run errands. 

Matching sets are often worn with an updo hairstyle, like a slicked back ponytail or bun and comfortable shoes like Uggs or sneakers. 

Matching sets are cute, comfortable and can be quite affordable depending on where you purchase them.
