Striped Round Neck Top and Pocketed Maxi Skirt Set

A matching set is the shortcut to looking put together on a day when you have no interest in getting dressed. This one pairs a round neck top with a long striped skirt, and because the two arrive together, the hard part is already done. Pockets in the skirt are the detail that makes it a set you will actually keep wearing.

The fabric is 100% polyester with a slight stretch. That give matters across a size run this wide, because it lets the top settle rather than pull. The top is cut generously: bust measures 43.3 in at XS and reaches 57.1 in at 4XL, well above body measurement at every size, which is what produces the loose easy line through the torso. Top length runs 26 in to 28.7 in, so it covers the hip. The skirt waist goes from 26 in to 42.5 in and the bottom length stays near 40 in to 42.9 in across the whole range, so this is a long skirt that falls toward the ankle. Sizing runs XS through 4XL, so the same set works across a wide span of bodies.

Wear the two pieces together for the full effect, with flat sandals in summer and a low boot when it turns cooler. They also split apart cleanly: the striped skirt goes with a plain tee, and the top works over jeans. The stripe comes in seven shades, from sky blue and navy through green, brown, white, pink and yellow, so there is a version that reads as a neutral and a version that does not.
