Explore our latest two piece sets collection. From sophisticated sets to trendy party pieces, we have show-stopping options for any event.

Two Piece Sets

Two piece sets are semi-formal or formal outfits that come pre-coordinated. Two piece sets, or two piece dresses, usually consist of a high-waisted skirt and a cropped bodice, which shows a bit of skin at the midriff since the two pieces don’t overlap.

Having this bit of skin revealed gives your look a bit of extra flirtiness. The playfulness of a two piece set can be the perfect vibe for lots of different occasions; here are just a few places you may want to wear a two piece set.

Two Piece Prom Dress Ideas

Since prom takes place in spring, it’s a great place to wear a two piece ball gown. Puffed sleeves and a voluminous princess skirt bring the drama and turn heads.

If ball gowns aren’t really your thing, you can go with a sleeker prom look. A set with a form-fitting high-slit skirt makes dancing a breeze, or a set with a mermaid skirt balances drama with elegance.

Go with vibes that you like and that exude you. No matter what silhouette you choose, a two piece prom dress gives a playful, flirty vibe, even when it’s a more formal set.

Two Piece Graduation Dress Ideas

Since graduation is a less formal event that takes place at the end of spring and the start of summer, it’s the perfect place to wear a two piece set.

When choosing a graduation look, you’ll want to keep the neckline in mind to be sure that it won’t clash with your robe. You’ll also want to be mindful of the length of your dress to avoid tripping during your walk across the stage.

Graduation events can also be on the warm side, especially if they’re outdoors. A sleeveless option will keep you cool, and look playful and fun in pictures. You can choose to wear one of your school’s colors, go with something neutral, or go with a color that screams you!

Two Piece Formal Dress Ideas

Two piece formal options tend to have long skirts, though the shape of the skirt can vary.

Something nice about a two piece ball gown set, for instance, is that it tends to be more versatile than a full ball gown. Because the cropped bodice adds that bit of playfulness, you can wear them to more places than a traditional ball gown without sticking out.

Formal two piece dresses tend to be one solid color for maximum elegance, though this doesn’t mean that your set has to be boring to fit the dress code! You can find formal two piece sets detailed with things like beads, fringes, and other textures to make a statement.

If you’re looking for a two piece dress for an event in the winter or fall, long sleeves can keep you warm and bring a touch of extra formality to your look. Long sleeves pair well with both form-fitting skirts or with a full skirt for something a bit more dramatic.

Two Piece Set Trends

Stuck on where to start researching your two piece look? Here are some of the latest two piece trends.

Floral Two Piece Sets

Floral two piece gowns are perfect for celebrating spring events, like prom. Typically, floral sets are pastel in color, but you can do a printed jewel tone and still hop on this trend if pastels aren’t your thing.

Floral two piece ball gowns exude a cottagecore fairy princess vibe, whereas more fitted floral options have a more understated sense of elegance. To go all-out with the florals, you can get a printed two piece gown, or you can look for a gown that incorporates floral designs in the beadwork or lace for a more subtle nod to this trend.

Fringed Two Piece Sets

Taylor Swift popularized dresses with fringes, and with her latest tour featuring looks from all her eras, fringes are making a comeback! For this trend, fringes can be all over your two piece gown or concentrated to highlight one area, like your sleeves, midriff, or skirt.

Two piece cocktail sets that incorporate fringe add a bit of extra movement to your look, making it perfect for an event that has dancing. Having fringe on a longer silhouette adds a pop of unexpected whimsy, especially paired with the two piece silhouette.

Jewel Tone Two Piece Sets

Jewel tones really pop against most skin tones, which is why they’re fantastic for midriff-baring two piece gowns. As the name implies, jewel tones are colors close to jewels, like sapphires and rubies – think reds, blues, greens, or dark shades of purple.

Jewel tones can also be found in printed two piece sets, which can be a great compromise if you love the idea of jewel tones but you enjoy wearing other colors more.

Sequined Two Piece Sets

Sequins add extra glam to your two piece set, no matter if you’re going for an all-over sequin look, or just sprinkling in the sparkle. An all-over sequin two piece gown is a showstopper, no matter what color you’re going with. Alternatively, sparingly-used sequins can highlight details in the fabric like lace, embroidery, or other beading.

Sequin gowns can still also incorporate other trends, like prints and jewel tones. Prints can be accented with sequins, or be made up of them entirely for a more dramatic look.

Complementary Two Piece Sets

These sets don’t match exactly, which really showcases the construction of your look by having that contrast between the bodice and the skirt. Complementary two piece sets may have a print on the skirt or bodice, or they may be two solid colors combined into a color block effect, which can have a dynamic and dramatic appearance.

These sets are particularly versatile, and you can pair them with other blouses, skirts, or even jeans to add a touch of glam to an informal event.

Styling Your Two Piece Set

Styling a two piece set is just like styling any other formal look. We’ll run down the basics for you, just in case you have questions.

Picking the Right Shoes

Your shoe choice is going to depend on your gown color and skirt length. Your first priority is to choose shoes that are comfortable for walking or dancing in your outfit – you don’t want to be falling on the dance floor!

No matter what your set looks like, you can’t go wrong with a shoe that’s a similar color to your skin tone. Metallics are also safe bets; just be sure they match any metallic tones in your dress. If your set features a print, you can pick shoes to match the primary print color, or any of the secondary print colors, and still look coordinated.

Choosing the Perfect Bag

Bags are another area in which you can’t go wrong with a metallic or coordinating neutral. Your bag shouldn’t upstage your dress, but it can add a bit of interesting contrast. You’ll want to choose something on the small side to keep from competing with your outfit, especially if you’re going with a cocktail two piece set.

If you’re going with a neutral set, you can use your bag to add a splash of color to your look; just try to avoid colors that are too close to your chosen neutral. Also, keep in mind that If you select a navy bag to go with your black dress, it may look like an unintentional choice instead of a playful contrast.

Accessorizing Your Two Piece Set With Jewelry

When it comes to jewelry, less is usually more. If you’re going with statement earrings, you’ll want to avoid a statement necklace and bracelet – choose one focal point, but make sure it won’t clash with your dress.

The neckline of your dress will be what determines which necklaces complement and which necklaces compete. A delicate necklace that sits around your collarbone will work with most necklines, but for high-neck sets, you’ll want to avoid necklaces and most dangly earrings altogether.

How to Do Your Makeup

When you’re choosing makeup to complement your two piece set, you’ll likely want to go soft and mostly neutral. This is especially true if your set incorporates bold colors or a pattern.

If you do decide to have some boldness in your makeup look, make sure it’s balanced. If you go with a bold lip, avoid also doing a bold eye and vice versa; choose one focal point to maintain balance within your makeup and with your outfit.

Add Some Playful Flair With a Two Piece Set!

Two piece sets can suit a wide variety of occasions, from prom to cocktail attire events to formal balls. Now that you’re armed with styling tips and the top trends, you can find the two piece set of your dreams!
