Creating A Spring Capsule Wardrobe
Building a spring capsule wardrobe starts with the essentials, grows with the classics, and ends will styles you can wear every season. Building a spring capsule wardrobe comes with so much fun and flexibility as it’s the perfect transitional season to move steadily from those winter capsule essentials to the spring necessities with creativity and ease.
Choosing to create a wardrobe capsule comes with responsibilities in choosing pieces that are multi-dimensional in their style, function, and seasonality. A spring capsule wardrobe is essential because it takes us from a cool-weather season into warmer days and necessitates great variety and utility. Curating that capsule closet for you and your style starts here.
The Spring Capsule Wardrobe Essentials
The Everday Tote/Bag
The essential carry-all necessity, the tote bag. Whether you’re a leather bag person or a classic canvas tote type, spring means seasons are changing, weather is a little unpredictable, and you’ll need a little extra space to carry these essentials. Our Berenice Print Tote (coming soon!) will be the perfect canvas tote with just the right amount of color and flare.
Lightweight Sweater
The perfect lightweight sweater is a spring must-have. It’s breezy, layerable, and goes well with almost all colors. Some prefer a nude or neutral lightweight sweater or pullover, while some allow this piece to be a statement in bold colors or bright pastels. The Jude Pullover comes in a variety of colors that will match any and all occasions and makes a perfect lightweight sweater for the winter to spring transition.

Comfy Shorts
Nothing says spring like a sweater and shorts kind of day. And nothing allows you to enjoy spring more than comforting and comfortable shorts. We’re happy to see the trend of skin-tight denim passing along (though there’s certainly a time and place for it), we are all about the loose, flowy, and flattering fit of soft cotton or linen shorts. Stay comfy, stay cozy, and definitely stay cool. Shop our everyday shorts, the Glenn Long Short, and pair it well with any of your comfy essentials to take on any spring day with ease.
Light Jacket
Speaking of layering pieces, a jacket is a no-brainer. Something made up of a soft canvas or hearty cotton will do, add in crucial pockets, and buttons or a zipper and you’re set. We’ve had a variety of Chore Jacket styles - from classic single colors, timeless denim, and even windowpane patterns. Choose something you can wear often and carry with you easily.
Floral Dress
Spring isn’t the same without flowers. We see them finally blooming after a long grey winter and your closet gets the chance to bloom too! Adding at least one floral dress, or simply a floral piece, to your spring capsule wardrobe is non-negotiable. Whether it’s a floral tee, floral boots, or a flowy floral dress like our Augusta Floral Dress, add some natural springtime icons to your capsule collection.
Flowy Button Up
A versatile button-up is a necessity any time of the year, but specifically in your spring essentials list. A flowy, flattering button-up is best for your spring options as it wears easily, is versatile, and adapts easily to the seasonal changes in weather. Think roomy, boxy button-ups worn open with a cami tanktop or buttoned up and tucked under a light sweater or cardigan for a polished, layered spring look. Our Short Sleeve Box Top fits the bill and offers classic colors and new prints for you to style.

Our 102 Box Tees come in a variety of colors and styles to match your style personality.
