Creating A Summer Capsule Wardrobe
The summer essentials are a blend of easy, flowy fabrics and comfortable pieces that take you from work to play with effortlessness. Finding those perfect summer pieces isn’t as hard as it looks either. Moving from spring to summer just got a lot easier.
Packing away the sweaters commences and it’s time to start hanging up and ironing out those warm-weather dresses and sleeveless must-haves. Pack away the thick socks made for boots and rain and opt for sandals and more versatile footwear that takes us from bonfires to summer festivals and more.
The Summer Capsule Wardrobe Essentials
Classic Shorts
Find a classic breezy pair of shorts that keeps comfortable and effortless the top priority. For some, that’s cut-off jean shorts that were thrifted and for others, it’s a breezy pair of vintage-inspired long shorts.
The length helps with keeping things soft and smooth for long walks with the dog or farmer’s market runs to pick up your weekly produce. Find your way to anywhere comfortably and effortlessly with classic summer shorts as a staple summer capsule piece.
Breezy Tees
Next up, breezy t-shirts. Think boxy cut, partially tucked, and the perfect fit. Go simple with classic stripes or go vintage with a track-style color blocking style. They’re thin and lightweight but substantial enough to wear over and over again - and trust us, you’ll want to.
The classic tee, transplanted easily from your spring capsule wardrobe, goes so well with warm days and is so easy to layer. It’s the perfect simplicity of style with a multitude of ways to wear it that makes it an easy outfit repeater.

Wide-Brimmed Hats
Sunshine is your best friend these days but don't forget to protect yourself in style from those harmful rays that leave you burnt and sore. There’s no better style trend than wearing wide-brimmed hats all summer long. Not only will these protect your face and neck when spending long days in the sun but they also add the perfect accessory to any outfit. We love the classic look and versatile feel of hats from our favorite brand GiGi Pip.
Choose something black for a mysterious look or go nude with something classic and subtle. They make for a great excuse to avoid washing your hair an extra day too. Style with a classic tee, a button-up, or with the iconic summer dress.
Versatile Shoes
Sandals, clogs, heels, flats, you get to choose and be comfortable! Finding a great pair of sandals for the summer is a big decision that can take you easily from season to season. It’s all about how you style it! Choose the perfect shoe that brings confidence, comfort, and character to any outfit on any day of the week.
Strolls through the neighborhood enjoying the sunshine, standing at the concessions stand watching kids baseball - wherever you go, go in style. We love sandals from ZouXou and summer styles from Nisolo that are designed by women who dress themselves in a style that’s all their own.

Simple Jewelry
Simple, stylish and 100% necessary all summer long. When you find yourself wearing less and less clothing, there’s no better time to accessorize with delicate, well-made, gold jewelry. We love the classic styles of Apse jewelry and love their Gold Chain and Key Chain and Gold Ange Hoops.
Add sparkle with no effort and embrace elevated jewelry to complete the full look. Beware, wearing these styles is sure to garner compliments. You can go simple or bold with necklaces that stun, earrings that swoon, and bracelets that simplify any outfit all summer long. Without the simple jewelry that exudes grace and confidence, it's not truly a complete summer capsule.
Dress for warmer days, dress for yourself. Choose the summer capsule essentials that bring you confidence and make styling and feeling great effortless every day of this season. From shorts and breezy tees to classic everyday shoes and simple accessories, find style that inspires when you start building your summer capsule wardrobe.
