FAQs
A summer capsule wardrobe is a small, thoughtfully chosen group of clothes you can combine into different outfits. Focus on shirts, shorts, pants and dresses that reflect your personal style, rather than trying to follow a fixed shopping list.
Start with the clothes you already reach for most. Set aside your favorites, try a few combinations and note what's missing before adding anything. Choose new pieces that work with several items you already own.
There's no required number. As a starting point, try five shirts, two pairs of shorts, two pairs of pants and one dress. Adjust that mix to your preferences and how often you do laundry.
Choose two or three base colors you enjoy wearing, then add one or two accent colors. Repeat those shades across your shirts and bottoms to simplify outfit choices. A favorite print can help bring the palette together.
Yes, a capsule wardrobe can include patterns as well as solids. Look for a patterned shirt or dress that repeats colors already in your wardrobe. Keeping a few colors consistent leaves plenty of room for personal style.
