Check out 14 of our favorite chic two-piece dresses and outfits that you can rock as a take-charge, fashion-forward grownup.
Teacups for Two
If you aren’t into baring your belly, try a two-piece outfit with a longer top. The print on this shirt-and-shorts combo reminds us of a dainty teacup. Dress it up with nude strappy heels, or pair it with gladiator sandals for a casual shopping day with the girls.
To buy: Porcelain Print Crop Top With Shorts, Shein, $18
Embroidered Ensemble
This matching top and bottom would be just as trendy for a wedding as it would be for drinks with friends. Dress it up with classy earrings and your go-to pair of heels.

Derby Days
For a daintier take on the two-piece trend, check out this subtle ensemble from REVOLVE. Wear it with wedges for a baby shower or outdoor gathering, or pair the skirt with a blouse for work-appropriate attire (or with a wild hat for the horse races!).

This outfit is perfect for a sunny day strolling around town with friends. We’d pair it with heeled sandals and a floppy hat.
