If after reading this, you shelve your Spring dresses (or even start snipping them in two [1]!), we won't blame you. There's something fresher and a bit sexier about these two-piece sets that we've seen on a few of our favorite style setters.

Unlike the matchy-matchy sets of our youth, these are cut to expose just a hint of midriff (and may even sway the crop-top averse) and feel infinitely more sophisticated. Whether you opt for something daytime-appropriate — and perfect for festival season [2] — or select something a little more flashy (we're looking at you, Mindy Kaling [3]!), there's a way to make the trend work for just about every girl out there. Scroll to see how the stars are styling the trend, then shop our favorite sets for yourself!
