When it comes to summer fashion, nothing beats the ease and versatility of a capsule wardrobe. With just a few essential pieces, you can create endless everyday ready outfits that will take you from beach days to dinner nights with ease. In this blog post, we'll explore five must-have staples for your summer capsule wardrobe.
1. Linen Pants:
Linen pants are a game-changer for summer. Their lightweight and breathable fabric keep you cool on hot days while adding that casual chic vibe. Opt for a pair in a neutral color like olive, beige, black or white to maximize versatility. The Smocked Wide Leg Linen pants are an absolute dream. You will want to wear them all summer long. Pair them with a crop tank and sandals for a casual daytime look or dress them up with a silk camisole and heels for a night out. They also make a great layer to throw on over your bathing suit if you’re heading to the beach or a day boating in Bay City.
2. Linen Shorts:
For those scorching summer days, linen shorts are an absolute must. They offer the same comfort and breathability as linen pants but with a more relaxed and laid-back vibe. We love the Farah Linen Shorts because they feature a neutral ofd white color that you can effortlessly throw on with any top. Whether you're strolling around Ann Arbor or exploring northern Michigan, linen shorts paired with a basic tee and sneakers are the epitome of effortless style.
3. Tank Dress:
A tank dress is the ultimate summer wardrobe essential. Its simplicity allows for endless styling possibilities. There is nothing better than being able to throw in a dress and head out the door without worrying about putting an entire outfit together. The Jayden dress is that tank dress you will be reaching for from day to night. Wear it alone as a chic and breezy outfit or layer it with a denim jacket for cooler evenings. Dress it up with the Yaya heels and statement jewelry for a special occasion or keep it casual with sandals and a sun hat for a day at the beach.
4. White Button-Down Top:
A white button-down top is a timeless piece that every summer capsule wardrobe needs. The Kiralin Top is that classic style with a modern fit. It’s my new favorite to layer over our ribbed tank bra with relaxed fit denim and a sneaker. It’s a look that’s easy to throw on and go whether you’re running errands, grabbing coffee or just hanging with friends. You can easily dress it up to you by tucking it into a pair of trousers with a block heel for a girls night out.
5. Satin Tank:
Nothing says summer elegance like a satin tank. It’s silky texture adds a touch of luxury to any outfit. The Do the Twist Tank pair perfect with linen shorts and sandals for a day out shopping, or tuck it into linen pants and add heels for an elevated date night look. Layer it under a blazer or cardigan for a more polished and office-ready outfit for your summer work style.
