To be honest the Summery Set is a guess based on armor pieces that didn't form parts of other sets. Almost all of the other sets are based on illustrations in the Dragon's Dogma Official Design Works.. (or are obvious pairs like Maiden's Set) .. sets do also tend to share common resistances - eg all the main Scale Armor Set pieces have poison/torpor/blind resistance + fire/lightning resists.

I was going to say the Ancient Armor Set is just a recolor of other armor pieces, but it does actually appear in the design works p.268, and the scale greaves do appear more than once in that - on p.263 they're with something like the Matte Robe - but purple (don't think this exists in game) - in cases where that happened the pieces got put with the best match in terms of look, name, and/or resistances.

..many of the spellcaster sets appear based partially on ancient Egyptian wall paintings (without the headresses) - these include large gold neck ornaments (eg as in Crimson Robe), side wrapped "dresses" (like Sultry Pareo), arm bands (like Alchemickal Bangles).. (the Gleaming Bangles look really egyptian too - ... I tried looking but most ancient egypt wall paintings had people barefoot (or sandals)- so that doesn't help.

I suppose the scale greaves must have some historical precedent they are based on - but I don't know what it is - though the ancient egypians definataly had (not hydra) scale armor..

..tldr -I can totally see that all these armor clothing are part of a bigger set
