If you thought you had to give up your comfy lounge sets because summer is quickly approaching, well, you don’t. And Mindy Kaling just showed us exactly how to make the no-fuss style summer-ready.
In a recent Instagram post, where she showed off her must-have beauty products for traveling, the actress wore one of Hollywood’s favorite styles — but with a breathable twist. She had on a two-piece set made up of cozy-looking shorts and a short-sleeve with a row of front buttons. The top of the shirt had a collar, and the outfit was etched with a colorful pattern of bold pinks, blues, and purples.
It’s no secret that matching sets are a celebrity go-to — Martha Stewart, Oprah, and Jennifer Lopez are just some stars who are fans of the style. Matching sets instantly look put together, and Kaling’s short-sleeve version is ideal for summer weather.
