When building my summer capsule wardrobe I use the same principal as in my winter one – to have few basic, good quality pieces in timeless styles and neutral colours. Pieces that all work together, creating lots of different outfit options and pieces that don’t go out of style. My motto is ‘simple but chic’ – minimise, simplify, make it effortless and you will discover a renewed joy of getting dressed each day.
In this PART 1 of my edit, I am sharing my summer clothes must-haves and in PART 2 you will find an accessories edit. These must-haves are a result of my entire life of gradually figuring out what makes me feel good and confident, which pieces are staying in my closet for years and years, what I reach for every summer and what are the combinations that always work.
You already might have the majority of the below so this might serve as an inspiration for you to edit your wardrobe and try new ways of wearing the same old pieces. Or, perhaps, your basics need an update in better quality or more modern and flattering cuts. Whatever it might be, I hope you find the below shopping advice useful.
