How to Curate a Summer Capsule Wardrobe

Summer is officially starting in a few days which still sounds exciting even though this year will not be our usual Summer. Nevertheless, we can still find so many ways to make it fun and exciting! As someone who enjoys Fashion & Style, building my wardrobe is just as exciting as the previous Summers. However, it’s important for me to have a sustainable collection that will last for years. So today, I’ll share a few tips on How to curate a Summer Capsule Wardrobe which you can start following right now!

How to Curate a Summer Capsule Wardrobe

1. Know YOUR Style!

We all have our own unique styles and that should be evident on your wardrobe at all times be it your Summer, Fall or Winter pieces.

Knowing your style will avoid you to keep clothing items and accessories that you rarely use which ends up just cluttering your space. Instead, invest in items that describe you and your personality.

2. Build your basics

Once you know your style, you can now start building your basics. For most of us, a plain white tee, a tank top, a crop top or a pair of jean shorts completes our Summer basics. If these are not your style the you can curate your own basics.

When building your basics, it’s important to choose pieces that you often wear, easily paired with other pieces, has a good quality and versatile so you can wear them for a long time.

3. Invest in Wearable Pieces

Now, there are always some new trends that’s coming every Summer. I admit, it can be very tempting to splurge on these items. Although this is OK at times, try your best to only buy and invest on items that are wearable multiple times. Find pieces that you can actually wear based on your lifestyle, fashion taste and style.

Again, this will reduce the clutter in your wardrobe plus you are saving your dollars since you are sure that you would get as much wear as possible on each clothing item in your Summer wardrobe.

Personally, if I happen to love a fad fashion trend, I would by a cheaper version and test if I actually like it and if it would accentuate my style before deicing to splurge on a. higher quality piece.

4. Buy on-trend Items with a Classic Style

Since we are already talking about on-trend items and since I am also guilty of riding on a few style hypes, I would recommend trying to buy smartly.

With this, I mean buying on-trend pieces with a classic style. For example, puff sleeves are so in style right now and I am so obsessed with them! What I do when shopping on this items is to choose pieces in white (my fave color!) and with a minimalistic design since I feel like I can re-wear it for the next few years instead of just this season.

5. Invest in Classic Summer Shoes

If you are investing on your Summer clothing pieces, it’s also proper to invest in classic Summer shoes. A pair of black wedges, white sneakers, slides or nude sandals are all good pieces to have and honestly enough to pair with multiple Summer outfits.

6. Re-use other Accessories and make them perfect for Summer

Last on our list are accessories! Do not be afraid to re-use accessories that you already have in your wardrobe.

Re-use your silk scarf as a hair tie or an handbag accessory. Use your Fall fedora hat instead of buying a new summer hat with different style. Whatever you have that can be used this Summer, wear it and make it your own this season.
