I’m pretty strict when it comes to a summer capsule wardrobe. Years ago, I might have been tempted to ensure there were loads of summer dresses and loose-fitting trousers in my wardrobe, but I’m now set on only a few items. This reasoning is absolutely to do with sustainability and ensuring my wardrobe works as hard as possible for me, but also, when it’s hot, you don’t want options—you just want pieces that make you look and feel good.
I’ve finally narrowed down my warmer-weather outfits to just nine pieces. It doesn’t seem like very much, but all of these items are perfect for mixing together and creating different looks. Not to mention, I’ve included plenty of accessories. Sunglasses, a pair of sandals that work with everything, and a proper basket bag will do brilliant things for your outfits.
Below, you’ll see the nine items I recommend that should be in everyone’s summer capsule wardrobe. Note that there’s no mention of swimsuits, as this isn’t for going on holiday, even if plenty of these pieces work for that, too. Rather, it’s for your day-to-day looks during the summer.
