Skirt sets that come together instantly offer a fully protected clothing option for women on the go. Here, we spoke with Tiffany Hsu, fashion buying director at Mytheresa (open in new tab), about the versatility of matching separates and how they are perfect for spring uniforms.

Marie Claire: Why are matching skirt sets so easy to wear?

Tiffany Hsu: You don't have to worry about styling an outfit when you are short on time. You can wear it alone or as separates.

MC: How do you wear skirt sets during the transitional season?

TH: You can easily take a daytime outfit into the evening by adding a cropped top or a small camisole underneath.

MC: Any styling tips?

TH: Change up your monotone look by showing some skin. A blazer over a skirt is another way to add a touch of flair to your outfit.

MC: Why has the popularity of matching skirt sets skyrocketed?

TH: There's no doubt about it. We live in a busy world. Skirt sets are the equivalent of men wearing suits, but we make it fun!
