These breezy styles from Amazon, Target, and Nordstrom are a slam dunk
We definitely keep fashion score — and Meghan Markle's no-fuss 'fit was the true winner of Monday's night NBA game.
The former Suits actress and husband Prince Harry sat back, relaxed, and even got caught on the kiss cam while attending the Los Angeles Lakers versus the Memphis Grizzlies playoff game. While a jersey and some jeans would have been perfectly suitable for the sporty situation, Markle chose something just a little bit more upscale: a breezy blazer and matching shorts by Staud that cost a combined $620.
The matching flamingo-colored set looked lightweight, totally uncomplicated, and polished to perfection. And we want our outfits to appear the same way — but on a budget.
As we're nearing summer, we can't wait to wear coordinating sets, specifically ones with shorts. Why? Let's face it, summer clothing requires less fabric, or at least, clothing that's crafted from a lighter, breezier material. Best of all, you can wear matching sets everywhere — a Lakers game, a food festival, or even a summer mixer with your co-workers.

One of the most affordable options that we found is this light pink set from Amazon that rings in at $68. The single button-down blazer and drawstring shorts are made from a rayon-blend fabric that "feels good, fits well, [and] looks great," according to one shopper. Meghan wore her set with heels to give her a little boost, but we'd be just as happy to wear ours with some slip-on sandals.

Meghan's set looks like it's linen, and this Nordstrom blazer and these coordinating shorts are part linen, too. Their breathable material is one reason why they're a sound summer choice, but the short's semi-stretchy elastic waistband and cool cut (which we've glimpsed on Jennifer Lawrence), along with the blazer's oversized silhouette, are others.

Patterns also deserve real estate in your wardrobe right now, and for less than $60, you can slay in an animal print, just like Zendaya did at Paris Fashion Week earlier this year. This brown and white zebra-striped blazer is a single-breasted style and has two functional front pockets, while these shorts are "super cute and comfy, very light and airy, [and] perfect for the summer," according to one shopper.

If you want to dress similar to Markle without a blazer, you could also pull a Gigi Hadid and opt for a button-down. The timeless style is still snappy and it's really feasible for barely bearable temperatures. We're eyeing this $35 set in blue and this khaki one that features gold buttons and a tie belt.
