Just as I had begun to give up hope, on a beautiful, joyful day on campus, temperatures finally fell below 70 degrees, and a slight breeze could be felt in the air. Fall is finally here, I have declared, despite naysayers warning of “fake fall” and temperatures rising again. I celebrated the only way I thought was proper: grabbing a pumpkin spice latte and going home that night to scroll through Pinterest to plan my new wardrobe for the changing season.
Fall fashion is all the rage right now and while I love to see elaborately planned outfits — think jeans, sweaters, scarfs, boots and accessories — all over my feed, it’s hard to find cute fall outfits that are versatile for a busy college girl lifestyle. It’s no secret that matching sets are all the rage in 2026 and I see no reason why we should stop the trend when the temperature drops a few degrees. Matching sets are perfect for a comfy yet stylish and cohesive aesthetic to look and feel your best in class and throughout a busy day.
I’ve listed my top five matching set picks for the sweater weather season — from staples for class to fall-themed activewear and the perfect matching pjs to wind down with during your cozy fall night routine.
FP Movement: Free People Movement Hot-Shot Crossover Set ($98)
Finding matching sets that look just as good as they feel can be a struggle. This FP movement set does just that. Not only is it flattering with a chic crossover detail on the top, but it also feels buttery soft while still being lightweight. While it comes in several colors, Dark Espresso is the perfect shade for autumn and is versatile for all your daily activities.
American Eagle: AE Luxe Plush Snoopy Button-Up PJ Set ($49.95)
Nothing beats a comfy PJ set, especially after a long and productive day. This AE PJ set is a hit for a reason — there’s nothing better than taking yourself to bed in cozy, plush PJs that perfectly match the vibe of a fall night And who doesn’t love Snoopy?
Complete the set with the matching slippers and you’re ready to light a candle, turn on Gilmore Girls and drift off into the dreamiest sleep of your life.
Liaison the Label: ($62) & ($54)
Despite trying to embrace fall as much as possible, there’s no doubt that temperatures are still high in Florida and activewear will always be a staple choice on campus for going to class, working out and beyond. Fall-themed activewear is a must to get into the seasonal spirit while still staying cool and comfortable.
Liaison the Label’s double-layered activewear is one of the most stylish choices on the market this season, especially the new Out West collection, which includes the Chocolate Cherry and Gingham print and perfectly encapsulates the colors and patterns of fall.
Aerie: Sunday Soft Trouser ($40) & Sunday Soft Off-The-Shoulder Sweater ($35)
From lounging on the couch with your roommates to attending your midday lectures, this striped set is perfect for embracing one of the biggest fall trends. Coming in six different striped prints, this set will make you feel put together while feeling as comfortable as you would rolling into bed. The pieces can be worn and dressed up or down separately or together for a seamless and cohesive look.
Garage: Sleek Smooth Cami Top ($26.95) & StretchTerry Wide Leg Pants ($69.95)
If you’re looking for a matching set that flatters you as much as possible, look no further. It’s hard to deny that there’s no color that screams fall more than burgundy. Perfect for walks around campus with fall music blasting through your headphones, this set is the perfect match of effortless style and everyday wearability.
Whether you’re dressing for a day of classes, a workout or a cozy night in, matching sets make it easy to embrace fall without sacrificing comfort and style. Even if Florida refuses to fully cooperate with sweater weather, these sets are the perfect way to bring a little bit of fall into your wardrobe this season!
