Summer Capsule Wardrobe: 19 pieces + ways to wear
Hey there and welcome to another round of the capsule wardrobe series! This season I’m sharing 19 items including shorts, tanks and four coordinating pairs of shoes to make getting dressed and looking good easy this summer. Whether you are attending a casual backyard BBQ or going to your kids soccer game, these items can be dressed up or down. If you’ve never tried a capsule wardrobe before, this is a great season to start!
My capsule wardrobes are here to make getting dressed easier. My motto: Look Good. Feel Good. Do Good. If you are struggling to use this or not sure where to start with creating a capsule wardrobe, go here. Here are few things to remember:
Shop your closet first.
You don’t have to purchase these EXACT items. The idea is to find something similar that reflects your style and will serve a similar purpose.
Feel free to add in a few trendy pieces or more colorful options or trade out pieces for ones you like more. Make it your own!
Use this shopping list at the end of this post to check off items you already have a make a list of things you need to buy. I share a splurge vs save post for each season too! There are plenty of clothing options for many budgets.
Be on the look out for ways to wear these items and styling tips throughout the season!

When I first created the summer capsule for this year, I added ina bunch of stuff I saw and tried at the mall. I had a whole list of things to buy BUT no budget to do it. As we packed for our beach trip, I realized I already had everything I needed to get dressed this summer. And that’s what my hope is for you too! I hope that you can find the majority of these basic items in your closet and add in one or two things this season. Shopping with purpose is so important! I hope you will find the joy in purchasing fewer better clothing items. It keeps your closet clear from clutter, and makes getting dressed so much easier.
