Matching outfits have been a big hit in recent years. On the catwalks, we regularly see top and shorts ensembles with a coordinating suit jacket and shorts. The atypical combination of shorts, originally a masculine sportswear piece, and the more feminine top brings a breath of fresh air and style to your wardrobe. Perfect for casual daytime wear in summer, the cycling top and shorts set is a hit on Instagram. In winter, oversized wool tops and shorts are particularly appreciated for their comfort. Feminine, chic or casual, the matching top and shorts set is a basic that can be worn throughout the seasons.

Which top and shorts to choose?

• A minimalist winter look with a top and shorts set

Several options exist for achieving a chic, streamlined winter look with a top and short set: the oversized wool top and shorts set, the fluffy sweater and shorts set, the top tank top and knit shorts set... Mix a wool top and shorts ensemble with dress shoes, tights and a mid-length woolcoat for a neat, understated look. Mesh tops and shorts are best worn indoors, perfect for staying sexy and beautiful even at home!

• A trendy summer look with a crop top and short set

In a soft, flowing fabric that lets the skin breathe, in cotton or synthetic, the baroque flared crop top and shorts set will dress you up in no time. It'sboth retro, with its romantic, baroque-inspired preppy print, and casual, thanks to the loose fit of the crop top and shorts. Combine this crop top and baroque shorts set with a pair of sneakers for a walk on vacation, or heeled sandals for a summer evening.

• A preppy look with a tie-and-dye top and shorts ensemble

Very much in vogue, the tie-and-dye crop top and shorts ensemble is a staple in every good woman's summer wardrobe. Wear it with flat sandals like tropezian shoes or espadrilles for a casual look. If you want to wear the tie-dye top and shorts ensemble for an evening out, you can swap your flat sandals for strappy sandals with heels or wedges. With a basket handbag or backpack and a few golden jewels, you'll be dressed in a flash!

• A trendy, urban look with a balloon-sleeved top and printed shorts ensemble

Probably the most popular ensemble seen in street looks and on Instagram, the combination of balloon sleeve top and matching printed shorts works very well for both daytime and evening looks. For daytime, opt for a small pair of strappy flat sandals with a fanny pack or shoulder bag, for example. In the evening, you'll flaunt your silhouette with sheer heeled sandals and a small clutch for a refined, casual look.

Which top and shorts to choose according to body type?

For women with an I morphology - i.e., fairly slim, without a marked waistline and with a small bust - it's best to opt for top and short sets with large, colorful prints. Tops and shorts in floral, graphic or baroque prints, with ruffles, gathers and other volume-enhancing details, will suit you perfectly.

For women with a V-shaped body, avoid top-and-short sets with a top that's too oversized around the shoulders. Women whose upper body is wider than their pelvis and legs are better advised to opt for top and short sets without shoulder pads. Tops and shorts with a looseshirt and straight-cut shorts will suit this type of body type.

For A-shaped women, we recommend top and short sets with a voluminous, wispy top. A top and short set with a tie-dye top, a bardot-neck top or a crop top with balloon sleeves will increase the volume of your shoulders and bosom to harmonize your silhouette. It's best to choose a top and shorts combination with a straight or flared cut to let your silhouette breathe without constricting it.

For women with a morphology 8, i.e. aligned shoulders and hips and a slimmer waist, all top and short sets are compatible with this type of figure.

Which accessories to wear with a top and shorts set?

We opt for contemporary and trendy accessories, feminine and elegant pieces to complete your look without overpowering it: brass bracelets, faux sapphire rings..
