5 Things You’ll Still Love Next Summer
This summer I’m starting a seasonal capsule wardrobe. Why have I not done this before now? The best ideas are usually simple, and this idea of seasonally interchangeable pieces that I actually wear and love sounds like a great goal.
These 5 pieces are a great start for a classic summer style that I still love from last year. They can be worn in many different ways. My top is actually a belt. The culottes go with everything from sneakers to pumps and jackets. This boater style hat can be very dressy or casual. It’s been popular since the 1800’s, and so it’s a safe bet. 😉 I linked a bunch of shopping options that you can start thinking about for your summer capsule list.
Apparently, capsule wardrobes have been trending for some time now. I’m having fun getting ideas on Pinterest. Follow along here.

5 Things You’ll Still Love Next Summer That are Totally in Line with a Summer Capsule Wardrobe.
- Color block cap toe slingback pumps.
- Vintage Mini {I love the square} Chanel Flap Bag. If you’re interested in how to spot a fake and where to find better deals check out this post.
- White culottes and go high-wasted, so you can wear a crop top and make those legs look long.
- Black and Tan hard brim hat make sure it’s not floppy if you want to still love it next year. Just like structured bags, structured hats hold their shape and last much longer.
- If you like strapless {hello 90s} get a black tube top. This is actually a belt that I love to wear as a top. Especially under blazers.
Thanks so much for visiting! Have you started a wardrobe capsule or are you more fly by the seat of your pants like me?

That is a timeless look! I don’t have a capsule wardrobe, but I’m starting to think more pragmatically and buy clothes that will match what I already have.

This is a very classic look, which I’m all about! I’m thinking about writing about capsule wardrobes because I have some readers who say they’re kinda broke but want to dress fashionably. I am in love with the shoes!
