I used to collect summer dress after summer dress, tops made of all kinds of fabrics and all kinds of styles. However, I've realised which pieces are the ones I consistently reach for first when the heat hits. Because of this, I now know I can get through the season with a few key pieces.
In summer, it's essential to wear clothes that not only look good, but feel good in them! It's important not to pile up pieces that look pretty at first but end up sitting unused in your wardrobe. Take a minimalist approach instead, which champions versatility, high-quality materials and effortless style. Try to choose the best quality fabrics possible and focus on natural, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen. If you choose your outfits with a matching colour palette, you'll find it even easier to mix and match. Accessorise with minimalist jewellery, chic sunglasses and a bag that will brighten up any outfit.
Having this in mind, I've put together a collection of 10 pieces to create the perfect summer capsule wardrobe. These pieces can be easily combined to create the ideal look for almost any occasion.
Here's how you can achieve a stylish and functional summer wardrobe with just a few key pieces.
In this piece, you can go from day to night completely smooth! Finding the perfect summer dress is essential to staying stylish even when the weather warms up. This is the dress you can slip into with ease and still feel effortlessly elegant, no matter how high the temperature rises.
The absolute must-have for my small summer collection is oversized shirts! It looks good with everything, it can be cool and stylish at the same time, its versatility knows no bounds! Whether you pair it with shorts or jeans, or throw it on at the beach with your swimsuit, you can be sure it will be one of your favourite pieces all season long!
3. Shorts
You swear by long pants, but it's a thousand degrees and you can't take it anymore? No need to worry, here are some perfectly combinable shorts from pajama shorts to chic fabric to sporty biker.
The relaxed elegance, loose fit and lightness of pajama shorts make them perfect to combine with anything, with a hint of charm. If you're going for a more sophisticated look, pick a stylish pair of woven trousers in the heat-friendly fabrics mentioned earlier, such as linen or cotton blends. These breathable options will keep you cool while adding a sophisticated flair to any occasion, from brunch dates to city walks.
And for those who are sporty, biker shorts are the absolute perfect choice. Their sleek silhouette and versatile style make them ideal for workouts and casual outings, paired with a loose T-shirt or trendy crop top.
4. T-shirt - Tank top
A plain simple t-shirt or a well-fitted classic tank top is also a perfect choice for our mini wardrobe. Whether you pair it with jeans or a loose jacket for a more sophisticated look on breezy evenings, these pieces are essential pieces to have in your summer wardrobe.
5. Jeans
Jeans would be very difficult for me to leave out of my wardrobe, as they are an everyday item that can be varied in a thousand ways. But in summer, it's better to go for lighter colours as well as thinner ones. At first I was a little hesitant to wear white trousers, but then I realised that there's no better choice for my summer days of running around.
6. Jacket
Some days, even in this heat, a refreshing coolness emerges in the evening. For these hours, a thin jacket or a coat is the perfect choice. Here are some tips on what to add to your wardrobe:
7. Bag
When it comes to the star of summer accessories, nothing beats the effortless charm and diversity of a straw bag. These stylish bags are the perfect additions to any warmer weather ensemble, practical and dressing up everything in the spirit of the season. Of course, if someone has a lot of straw and feels too much like an all-day beach trip, a very pretty canvas bag is also a super choice for their outfit.
8. Sunglasses
Definitely the piece that will surely go with everything! If you want to do yourself and your outfit a favour, don't forget it at home (even if it's cloudy in the morning)!
9. Sandals
Chunky sandals and flip-flops are still going strong this year, but you can't go wrong with a sophisticated piece. A few ideas of what to wear this summer!
10. Sneakers
Lastly, I went for a simple and great pair of trainers that you can also wear with anything, giving your look a casual-sporty look. Personally, I'm a big fan of these pieces, so if you're more of a sneaker fan - or just need a new pair - these are the perfect choice and I'd recommend them with all my heart!
