The Marie Kondo method can be applied to your summer vacation packing list, too. In addition to “does it spark joy?” ask yourself, “does it make me want to sip an Aperol spritz in the sun?” If the answer is yes, then by all means bring it along.
Following the clicks of seasoned Amazon trendspotters, we found a matching set that evokes that very feeling. Reviewers say this cute two-piece strikes the perfect balance between being airy and elegant, yet as comfortable as pajamas. Now, that is the holy grail of vacation outfits—and it’s under $45.
Automet Two-piece Shorts Set

The gauzy set comes with an oversized button-down shirt that tucks into (or drapes casually over) the matching drawstring shorts. The rayon it’s made of is soft and thin, the fit loose and flowy. One reviewer called it “heaven,” while another said it’s “the most comfortable outfit ever.” More than one shopper compared it to a much higher-end Aritzia set, the organic cotton Sail Shorts and Sail Shirt, which costs about $150.
For much less, the Automet lookalike has impressed customers with its quality. One who wrote that they’re “absolutely in love with this set” said the material is great for the price—good enough to even pass for “summer evening wear.” The brand is already well-known and loved for its viral jumpsuits and other lounge sets, which have earned high praise among travelers.

“This set is so multifaceted,” a shopper said. “I wear it as a bathing suit cover-up on the boat at the lake, and [I] also wear [it] as pajamas.” Another said they were going for “a cute coastal feel” for a beach trip, and this set was just the thing for that aesthetic.
Some are saying the lighter shades can be slightly see-through, so check the feedback before you settle on a color. There are also mixed reviews on whether it wrinkles, though most agree the creases almost blend in with the natural texture—nothing a portable steamer can’t handle.
The general two-piece set format is an effortless summer travel uniform that allows you to spend some extra minutes working on your reading list instead of stressing over what to wear. You can wear the pieces separately, too, if you feel like pairing the top with jeans or slacks for an elevated look.
