Hi Friends! Today I’ve put together a summer capsule wardrobe to share with you. I’ve gathered 14 pieces and mixed and matched them to put together 21 different outfits. I was able to think of a few extra combinations that I did not picture as well. The chambray shirt could be worn over the dress, knotted at the waist. Or it could be layered over top of many of the other shirts. If this was all that you had in your closet you could get through the summer with wearing each outfit 4-5 times. Not bad.
Many of these items I have added to my closet over the last couple of months so they are mostly still available. If I was not able to find availability in an item I have linked a similar item for you. Here is a breakdown of the items:
Tops:
- Chambray Shirt
- Pink Bell-Sleeved Top
- Striped Tee ($5!)
- Linen Tee (second option)
- Navy Cami
- Kimono (similar)
- Denim Jacket
Bottoms:
- Articles of Society Skinny Jeans
- Abercrombie White Skinny Jeans (on sale for $35!)
- BlankNYC Cutoff Shorts
- Paperbag Shorts (similar) (second option)
Shoes:
- Espadrille Wedges (25% off)
- Mules
It’s surprising how many outfit combinations can be made with just a few items to work with. I often stand in my closet and stare, trying to figure out what I am going to wear, feeling like I don’t have enough choices. Maybe I have too many choices! When you challenge yourself to come up with new combinations like I have done here you realize how far a versatile wardrobe can really be stretched. I hope this was able to provide some inspiration that will encourage you to stretch your closet a little further this summer. If you need to add any fundamental, neutral pieces to your wardrobe this weekend is the time to do it with all of the sales that will be taking place!
