If we had to put a phrase to one of the year’s biggest trends, it would be “matchy-matchy”. In the cooler months, we see a multitude of matching loungewear sets and tracksuits. In summer we loved clothing sets in the same colour from head to toe. Even swimwear looks fantastic with an elegant co-ordinated coverup. This is the year to go over the top with matchy-matchy outfits.
Note: All our garments or looks are by local South African designers. #passionforSAfashion
JMVB LOUNGEWEAR SETS

Johannesburg brand JMVB brings us stunning loungewear sets this season. Made from cashmere-like, soft knit fabric, one can either get a complete 4-piece set which consists of matching pants, tank top, long sleeve top and a cardigan or buy any of the pieces individually. The trend remains matching items so whether you decide to get the pants and wear them with the tank top on warmer days or get the long sleeve top and layer it with the cardigan it’s up to you.
