There's truly nothing more spectacular than a massive family gathering, especially when it's the Union crew celebrating. Earlier this week, Gabrielle Union posted a carousel of photos to Instagram documenting her mother Theresa Union's 78th birthday which coincided with Easter. Per Union, the party was aptly called 'Theresapalooza Easter Brunch'—and you better believe that guests turned up in their Sunday best, especially Union herself. In fact, the star stopped me in my Insta-scrolling tracks with her cream-colored monochrome set which featured an eye-catching tie-front top and airy wide-leg pants. Simply put, it's the perfect easy, breezy spring outfit.

Union's exact set, detailed with a subtle checker print, was sourced from Vrg Grl. She wore the Enni Smock top in cream ($78) which has a boxy fit, is made of a non-stretch pleated polyester material and ties in the front. She paired it with the matching Enni pants in cream ($98), made from the same non-stretch pleated polyester fabric with an elastic drawstring waist.

I'm obsessed—so much so that I dug around the internet looking for a few more similar-looking sets to add to my own rotation. Interested in doing the same? Scroll on to find three chic, tie-front sets so you, too, can emulate Union's look.

This Show Me Your Mumu set features a top with a very similar bow-front tie design. Crafted with a deeper V-neck and two tie strings instead of three, the Time Out tie top shows a bit more skin than Union's pick, but works incredibly well as the temps start to rise. Made from an 80 percent viscose/20 percent nylon blend fabric, this lightweight knit will pair perfectly with high-waisted trousers or even the capri pant revival. But, of course, you can also coordinate it with the matching pair of pants, the Casual cargos. Though sold separately, the pants are nearly 50 percent off. The pull-on cargos are made with a cotton/nylon blend ripstop fabric and include an elastic waistband for easy wear. The four pocket design makes carrying things a cinch, so you can leave your clutch at home while you stroll (on a beach, preferably).

Top:

With a silhouette that would probably make Meghan Markle swoon, the Ghospell bow tie pleated top takes the open-front concept to a flouncier new level. The London-based brand known for its relaxed fits has created something special with this coordinated set; it's Boho meets seaside retreat. The top features a V-neck, blouson sleeves and a feathery pleated hem, and is made from 85 percent polyester/15 percent nylon fabric. The matching pants, while also sold separately, complete the look with their mid-rise, concealed fly, side pockets, pleat details and wide leg. Together, the two pieces create the perfect blend of comfort and sophistication.

Top:

Cupshe's take on the tie-front blouse/wide leg pants combo is the definition of cute and cozy. Made with a patterned, 100 percent cotton material, it'll be great for lounging, whether it's by the pool The White Lotus-style or curled up with a book close to bedtime. The top, which isn't fully open save for the neckline, also features a sweet, on-trend peplum hem. The white colorway does appear to be a bit see-through, so if you're not slipping it on over your bathing suit, I'd recommend nude undergarments for a seamless look. One reviewer mentions that the pants are a bit stretchy for looser fit, so comfort is practically guaranteed.
