After creating my last post, how to build your wardrobe foundations, I thought to develop a shopable list with product suggestions. These items are ideal for creating your summer capsule wardrobe.
So here we go:
A t-shirt: Don't underestimate the power of a t-shirt. It can help you to add versatility to your closet. You can opt for a graphic tee if that is in tune with your style. Or select a classic black or/and solid white tee. This item is so simple you can get it from any store. But try to find quality items so you won't have to buy new ones next season.
Short-sleeved blouse: Puff sleeves, off-the-shoulder, or a simple satin cami. Opt for neutral colors so you can mix and match them with your other pieces from your wardrobe.
Cotton trousers: They can be wide leg or straight fit, whichever shape you prefer, a pair of trousers will allow you to dress up your tops for special occasions.
A pair of jean shorts: Denim is a significant component of your capsule wardrobe and is easy to dress up and dress down. Find the fit and shape you like by trying different brands. Once you discover your preferences, get them in different colors, such as black, which will go with almost anything, and a pair of blue, which is universal.
Midi or mini skirt: You can try printed or solid. If you add a print, keep in mind the colors your capsule wardrobe will have, and try to find a pattern that includes those colors. My recommendation for a capsule wardrobe is to try neutral colors like beige, black, or white.
A solid cotton or linen dress: You can go for a little black or any other neutral color. Choose what makes you feel confident, which goes well with the other pieces in your capsule.
A jumpsuit and/or romper: Grab and go! This item is my go-to when I don't have enough time to create a complete look. I love all the different styles, and depending on the design, you can dress them up with heeled sandals or make a sporty outfit by adding a pair of white sneakers and sunnies.
Shoes: You'll want at least two pairs of shoes in your capsule wardrobe. A pair of white sneakers will never go out of style because they go with everything. For work or special occasions, you might want something dressier. If you are the kind of person who likes a heel, go for a heel in a more neutral color, such as nude. For those days when you don't feel like walking around in a heel all day, try a dressed-up flat that isn't a sneaker. Go for something neutral, again. Black is perfect: It will go with everything in your closet.
Accessories: Before leaving the house, think about a 3erd item you can add to your outfit to make it stand out and feel special. You can find a good excuse to dress up daily, and accesories can make things more fun. My favorite items to suggest in a capsule wardrobe are hats and sunglasses. Fashion can also have a function, so don't forget to protect yourself from the sun with your favorite style.
A belt: Though belts are considered part of the accesories category, and I mentioned that before, I have to add them as a MUST-have. If you are not adding belts to your outfits, you are missing one of the best hacks to level up your basics. Next time you are getting dressed, grab a classic pair of denim shorts and a white tee and add a belt, and you'll see how your look goes from I grabbed whatever to I put together a cool fit!
