Your Summer Capsule Wardrobe

Are you ready for summer? Is your wardrobe ready? Check out some examples of a capsule wardrobe that’s primed for warm weather.

A summer capsule wardrobe falls in a smaller section of your core capsule wardrobe, containing pieces that are versatile enough to style throughout the entire summer—and if you’re seeking maximum longevity, from late spring to early fall as well

A reason to have a ‘summer capsule wardrobe’ is because it makes spontaneous weekend trips, longer travel, and general summer adventures that much easier to pack for. Here are a few essentials.

A light cardigan

With warmer days and cooler nights, summer is when layering really comes in handy—and the layer you’ll reach for again and again is a cardigan.

Linen pants

Linen is king in the summer season. Not only is it breathable, but when you get a well-fitting pair in a neutral color, you’ll realize how many outfits you can create with them.

Linen pants are the perfect summer pants to dress up or down. Whether you’re running to the grocery store or headed to dinner with friends, these pants will keep you cool, both literally and figuratively.

A shirt dress

A shirt dress is another summer piece you need in your closet.

When it comes to versatility, shirt dresses are wardrobe heroes. Not only do they set the stage for a belt moment, but they can also be worn without to create a monochromatic column that lengthens and strengthens.

Shirt dresses have excellent airflow too and come in a variety of fabrics like cotton poplin, voile, chambray, and linen that deliver both comfort and casual sophistication. 

Comfortable shorts

One of the trickier things every summer is deciding what shorts you’ll be sporting. But a perfect point is saying: “Life is too short to avoid shorts.”

Even if shorts don’t become an everyday staple, include a pair of comfortable shorts in your summer capsule for days the temperature soars.
