Women's Windbreaker Sets: How to Wear a Unisex Set

Orbit Set Fire Red red windbreaker set by Full Circle

Windbreaker sets are back as a women's streetwear staple: an oversized hooded jacket and wide, relaxed pants, worn together or split. Our Orbit Set is unisex, so here is how to get the size right and how to style it.

Sizing a unisex set

Unisex sets are cut on a relaxed fit, and the Orbit Set comes in S to XL. Check the jacket and pants measurements in our windbreaker set size guide against a jacket and pants you already like. As a rule of thumb, take your usual size for an oversized look, or go one size down if you want the jacket closer to the body. The pants have an elastic drawstring waist, so you can pull them in.

Five ways to wear it

1. Full set, oversized

Jacket zipped halfway, pants pooling over chunky sneakers. Easy and confident. Bright Fire Red or clean Arctic White make the most of this one.

2. Open jacket over a crop top

Leave the jacket open over a fitted crop top or bodysuit. The contrast between fitted and oversized is what makes it work.

3. Pants with a baby tee

Wear just the pants, sitting low on the hips with the drawstring tied, and a fitted tee. Add small hoops and a shoulder bag.

4. Jacket with leggings or a mini skirt

The shell jacket on its own over leggings or a mini skirt, with sneakers or boots, is a cool-weather go-to.

5. Match the beanie

Every Orbit color has a matching beanie: the Redline beanie, Arctic White beanie, Mocha beanie and Midnight Camo beanie. For more shine, try Frost Diamond, a white camo rhinestone beanie.

Which color?

Black (Redline, Black Stone) goes with everything. White and red stand out in photos. Brown Mocha and Olive Green are soft and easy with gold jewelry. Compare them in the windbreaker set color guide.
