One thing about me is that I am a big believer in having a capsule wardrobe or closet staples that you can wear in every season. I have received some requests to share my Spring + Summer staples so I wanted to make a blog post that way it is easy to reference and shop both now and later!
If you are familiar, I shared a similar post last year sharing my Fall staples, you’ll notice a few of the same items on this list as like I said before, I want a closet that I can use all year vs season to season.
My biggest tips when creating your capsule wardrobe is stick to neutrals. Black, White, Tan/Brown + Greys; those are all great colors that create a base and can be styled thousands of ways with more staple pieces, or trending items all year long!
the perfect white button up:
I have searched high and low and finally found the perfect white button up, IMO at of course, Abercrombie. It’s oversized, the perfect material and just fits the way it should. However, I do have some others that serve different purposes. In addition to my Abercrombie shirt, I have a light weight linen like one, and a super light weight gauze like material one.
tHE PERFECT WHITE TEE:
This could go a few ways, depending on if you prefer a cropped tee, boxy tee, boyfriend tee, etc. I have a few, different white tees in different categories because I like to mix things around a bit. But, you definitely don’t need them all.
LAYERING PIECES
- Tank Tops – good basic tanks are a must for a Spring + Summer staple wardrobe. You can go a few different ways here as far as your preferred length/color. But to be honest, if you are only buying one, get white. A white tank can be worn so many ways all year long. Then when you can, add in some other colors to add variation to your closet.
- Bodysuits – I am a sucker for a bodysuit. I feel like they are so good on their own or layered under a button up or jacket. I also love the sleek look they give off in a super easy and effortless way.
Dresses
You can’t have a Spring + Summer staple wardrobe with out dresses! A good midi/maxi dress and a good mini dress are perfect to keep in rotation, plus you can throw on a jacket in the fall/winter and wear them all year long!
Bottoms
- Jeans – a good pair of jeans will never go out of style! Below are my favorite pairs, all from Abercrombie, of course.
- Shorts – I recommend a staple pair of denim shorts, and linen shorts for Spring + Summer staples. Of course, depending on your personal style you can add in more fabrics!
