Spring Capsule Wardrobe: Key Staples to Wear this Season

Written By Caroline Dilbeck

This is my fourth year doing the capsule wardrobe and its the earliest I’ve ever released the spring capsule. I’m taking a similar approach as the winter capsule and going back to the basics. I’ve learned a lot over the past few years of putting these together and one thing is very clear: if you have a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear, you’re probably missing good basics.

Last season, I had so many clothes I couldn’t wear them all and with a focus on core pieces I’ve really found that I don’t need very many pieces to create tons of outfits. After all, we only wear about 20% of the clothes in our closet. This spring’s capsule wardrobe is composed of only 18 pieces. I hope you will love this capsule as much as I do already!

WATER RESISTANT

Trench Coat

Don’t skip on this one. Its a foundational wardrobe item that will elevate your wardrobe for spring and help you transition from winter to spring with ease. I’ve curated a number of coats - most under $200.

CLOSET STAPLE

White Button Down

If you have a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear, you’re probably missing good basics. And that is exactly what the classic white button down is. This year a boxier oversized fit is in style but you can adapt to a more traditional cut by sizing down. I’ve linked several great options here for you.

DENIM

Wide Leg Denim

We’ve come a long way since skinny jeans! I love the wide leg denim for spring. It is so comfortable and flattering on a variety of frames. I’ve picked some great choices in a number of price points for spring (one as low as $55). I loved seeing these paired with flats, slingbacks and sneakers.

BOTTOMS

Cream Pants

These are so flattering! Literally the perfect white pant. Run and grab a pair before they sell out. They also come in green (another great option for spring!)

SHOES

Slingbacks

I’m loving the feminine look of slingbacks paired with wide leg jeans for spring. These are any easy winter to spring wardrobe addition for under $30.
