Speaking to Lana Condor at the Kate Spade NYFW 2023 presentation, I realized we had more in common than I thought. Not only is the “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” star a former dancer like yours truly, but she is “anti-mornings” — something I strongly relate to. Because of this, she enjoys quick fashion looks that make getting ready in the AM a breeze. Being dedicated to the snooze button myself, I had to ask her what this simple style hack consisted of. The genius answer? Two-piece sets.

“I really want something that’s just easy,” said Condor. “A matching set is always so perfect; [it] always works.” She was even wearing a coordinating Kate Spade set during the interview, which was at a bright and early 9 a.m. call time, proving she actually takes her own advice. Even though the blazer and skirt set was uncomplicated and straightforward, it was “timeless,” and “really fit [Condor’s] vibe.”

Kate Spade isn’t the only retailer that offers Condor’s go-to outfit recipe. Brands such as Reformation, Everlane, and Saylor have all tried their hand at the trend — and dare I say, they’ve done an awful good job at it. From matching skirts sets and comfortable sweatsuits, they’re something for everyone, and these two-pieces are on my must-buy list.
