What is a Capsule Wardrobe?

A capsule wardrobe is a collection of basics that you can easily mix and match so you always have something to wear. Buying classic, timeless pieces are essential to a wardrobe because they provide the foundation for all your outfits.

5 Classic Summer Fashion Staples

1. Maxi Dress

A maxi dress is perfect for your Summer capsule wardrobe because it’s an outfit within itself. You can just throw it on with sandals and you’re out the door! I love that you can dress it up with heels and dress it down with sandals. This one from J.Crew is also available in white.

2. Nude Heels

Nude heels are a staple for the Summer season. This pair from Poppy Barley features a block heel and cushioned memory foam making them perfect for all-day occasions like weddings, BBQs, and outdoor concerts. The short block heel is easy to walk in and won’t hurt your feet at the end of the day. Pair them with dresses, skirts, or jeans for a versatile look that complements any outfit!

3. Basic Tops

Basics are great for year-round and will pair perfectly with all your capsule wardrobes. Tank tops and t-shirts (cropped or regular length) are my go-to for any season. They’re perfect for layering or wearing them on their own. Be sure to get colors and lengths that go with your style. For neutrals, black, white, and grey are my favorites because they’ll match any outfit I wear!
