As summer approaches, so does the desire to simplify life, and it is no surprise that this trend extends to our wardrobe.
Finding the key staples of your summer style will make the coming season stress-free.
Throughout the summer many focus on the idea of a capsule wardrobe when choosing what to purchase for this season.
In recent years, the term ‘capsule wardrobe’ has been used repeatedly, but you may be wondering what it is.
This idea is choosing foundational items that can be paired with one another to make styling much simpler.
Choosing accessories that blend well with the clothes you have chosen is really what makes the capsule wardrobe so easy.
We’ve compiled a list of our favourite items for summer and our best picks for every budget.
Basket Bags
A basket bag will always be a summer staple, loved by many, including Jane Birkin.
Available in many shapes and sizes, there is always one that will suit what you want.
These bags can be easily dressed up or down, making them an ideal summer item.
Linen Trousers
A perfect everyday item for the weather, these can easily be styled with a jumper for a cooler day or a shirt for a perfect chic day.
Coming in various styles, such as wide-leg, low-waisted, or structured, there is always a perfect style for each person.
Mini Dresses
A mini dress will always be a perfect item for summer.
Choosing the right colour for your wardrobe makes this item so classic.
Having the perfect mini means you can wear it with sandals for a casual daytime look or dress it up with heels.
Denim Shorts
A chic pair of denim shorts will always enter your wardrobe.
With styles ranging from tailored, jorts, or even a skort, it would be impossible not to find the style for you.
T-shirts
As basic as an item, the T-shirt is one of the most essential summer items.
However, t-shirts do not have to be the classic boxy style; you could choose a cropped or tight-fitting shirt as your new staple
Before choosing your summer capsule items, look at the colours that draw you in, whether neutrals or bold, and see what best suits your style.
For this season, I often lean towards creams, soft greens, and blues, so I will always consider these before buying anything.
Knowing exactly what you have and love will always make dressing simpler.
