Casual Summer Capsule Wardrobe Ideas

Happy Sunday! Each week, I go live on Instagram to share what’s new and offer styling tips. This week, I focused on building a casual summer capsule wardrobe—a collection of pieces that can be mixed and matched to create outfits for weeks. These looks are perfect for vacation, everyday errands, or just feeling pulled together at home. I styled tees, drawstring pants, wide-leg jeans, raffia bags, slides, jelly sandals (yes, they’re back!), and a few fun accessories to show the versatility of this capsule. If you missed the IG Live, you can watch it here. Scroll below for the items I shared during the live and style inspiration.

A few of my favorite items from the capsule include the white Blank NYC jacket, which has become a go-to piece that I’ve worn nonstop—trendy, a little boxy, and cool. The Cinq à Sept Holly jacket instantly dresses up any look. I love the Sanctuary perfect tees—I sized up for a relaxed fit, and they come in so many prints. The Rails shirt is one you’ll wear often, and the striped open-knit tank is a cute, versatile piece that’s chic and easy to wear with skirts and jeans, as well as layered under the black Holly jacket.

More about the board…

If you’re looking for a great, moderately priced pair of jeans, this Nordstrom cropped wide-leg pair is flattering, fits true to size, and is comfortable. I’ve been wearing the black tiered skirt on repeat, with the black tank and the white jacket. The white boho skirt and top from the N6 Drop is a fun, breezy option for summer. The Varley dress is one of those easy styles you’ll want to pack for vacation, wear to dinner, or wear to wine tasting—it’s comfortable and doesn’t cling. I also shared various shoes and accessories to show how simply switching your shoes can change the entire outfit. There are many ways to mix and match these pieces. Take a look at four outfit combinations below.
