Summer Capsule Wardrobe 2022

The first official day of Summer is a week away, and so with that, introducing my summer capsule wardrobe! As always, I love to focus on neutral, minimal basics to allow for the most versatility within my wardrobe. There is a lot of cross over from the spring capsule into the summer capsule – I essentially swapped out some layers for shorts or linen pieces. I left the button ups as they were in the spring, but if you live in a hot climate, feel free to swap out the cotton button ups for a staple summer linen. If you don’t like shorts, swap those out for lightweight trousers or more midi skirt options. The capsule is fluid to fit YOUR lifestyle. From these 35 pieces (not including some of the smaller jewelry accessories), there are over 290 possible outfit combinations – more than enough to style you through Summer!

With any capsule, always consider it as a general framework to help give guidance and direction. I would never want anyone to feel that they need to buy everything at once or purge an entire closet to fit a “specific mold”. Many of these items may already be within your closet and the PDF below can help you think of some new styling ideas. If the 35 items seems overwhelming or excessive, you can easily go through and pick out the pieces that are best fit to your personal needs. There is crossover between each capsule as certain basics are truly seasonless. I always encourage building a wardrobe foundation around the basics. Once that strong foundation is built, you can easily introduce other items into your wardrobe that may be more on the spectrum of “statement”, whether that be a fresh trend or wearing colors, prints, or patterns. If you are looking for more color in your life, I am planning on sharing smaller “mini capsules” in the coming weeks to introduce colorful options for when you want to experiment beyond classic neutrals.

You can find the link to download the PDF below (it is in small print beneath the next graphic). The PDF includes 49 pages of inspiration for potential outfit combinations (!!!). Below that are links for the individual items – I try to personally vouch for every item on the capsule, but sometimes my item is no longer available and I’m trying to find a similar option. I am unable to link some of the items within the shoppable carousels below so those links will be individually listed at the bottom. Please feel free to reach out to me via email or on instagram if you have any questions about sizing, etc.

ACCESSORIES

Blue Striped Button Up: I have been wearing this button up on repeat since it arrived. I took my true size.

White Button Up: This is the white button up I have and I love it. It is a heavier weight cotton that feels crisp, but still soft. The details are beautiful. I sized up to a 2 for a little more relaxed fit. If you prefer a linen button up, I linked an option in the above carousals, but another here is another one I love as well . It is luxe and beautifully made.

Gold oval hoop earrings: Gold filled, under $50, and such a chic everyday option. I hardly take mine off.

Gold medallion necklace: Gold filled and under $200, I wear this almost everyday. I shower and work out in it and have not had any tarnishing in over 2 years.

White Linen Trousers: These are my favorite. I take my true size in the linen (maybe could size up 1 for a looser fit). I have to hem the regular length. I have the light birch shade, which is no longer showing on the site, but they are not overly sheer.

Black Leather Purse: If you follow me on instagram, you know how much I wear and love this purse. It comes with two different straps (shoulder vs. crossbody). If you want a closer look at it, I recommend watching the review video I have on my instagram.

French Market Tote: I got this tote bag last Spring/Summer and loved using it. It has both short and long straps for functionality. It is great for weekend errands, beach trips, farmers markets – you name it! Plus a fantastic price of under $75.

If you are looking for additional handbag options that are under $100, I would look at Charles & Keith – I have one purse from them that I really like and have been pleased with the quality. For bags under $500, I would also check out Polene.

Nude heel sandals: I linked a few options in the above carousal, but these are the style I have and love them! They fit true to size, but do run slightly narrow. Alohas has quickly become one of my favorite shoe brands for sustainable, on trend options.

As always, thank you so much for all your support, shopping through my links, and sharing the capsule with you friends!
