If you’ve been here for a while, you already know how excited we are about the concept of a capsule wardrobe: a closet full of clothes that can be mixed and matched to create endless combinations and provide a lasting solution to your “I know.” “not what to wear today” riddle.
Another winter is over and we are officially preparing for the first glorious days of spring; The ones that make you step outside and breathe a sigh of relief when you feel the warm breeze and the sun. This also means pulling our spring wardrobe out of storage to give our sandals space on our shoe racks above our boots (and getting a pedicure on the calf ASAP). The bright colors, lightweight fabrics, and beautiful textures of spring fashion always feel like a reward after a long winter season.
It’s officially time to leave winter behind and welcome spring with open arms. The best way to dress this season? Your wardrobe, simplified.
The simple definition is that it is a curated wardrobe made up of versatile pieces that you love to wear. The design of your capsule wardrobe should be a testament to your personal style
A capsule wardrobe is a collection of tops, bottoms, dresses, outerwear, shoes, and accessories that can be easily mixed and matched to dress up, down, and anywhere in between. This means your wardrobe will have fewer trendy pieces that will only be worn for one season, and more quality, classic pieces that will stand the test of time and can be worn for years. The best part? While it may feel more expensive in the moment, you’ll actually save money in the long run since you won’t have to buy as many fast fashion pieces.
Once you’ve mastered a starter capsule wardrobe, it can be curated and swapped out from season to season. This makes it easy to pack and take out clothes for the appropriate season because every time you pull them out, they’ll be just as stylish as when you bought them.
The first step to building a capsule wardrobe is to take a close look at what you already own and then weed out the rest. By this we don’t mean opening it and flipping through the hangers carelessly; We think you should take every single item out of your closet and then see if it fits back in. Don’t forget to take a look at your shoes and accessories too.
In a perfect world, spring would come and we could wear t-shirts and jeans and not look at a jacket again until September; But the reality is that spring comes with temperatures that require a layer or two. The answer to our suffering? A classic trench coat that can be worn again and again. Paired with a striped tank, slouchy jeans, Mary Jane flats and the perfect raffia bag, this is a Paris-inspired look that will have you feeling like a 10 on your morning commute. If your office dress code leans more towards business casual, swap the jeans for trousers.
One of the greatest joys in this life is stepping out on a Saturday or Sunday morning to spend the day enjoying the city with your favorite overpriced coffee in hand. This long blue vest will be the spring piece you’ll wear again and again because of its versatility. It goes just as well with jeans for a casual Saturday as it does with pants for the office. Complete the look with a statement belt, ballet flats and a raffia bag to store everything you need to take with you on the go. (I highly recommend a book you can sit on a bench and read under cherry blossom trees while pretending you’re in a 2000s romantic comedy.)
All of us who endure a harsh winter know that the opportunity to wear a dress is a privilege not to be missed. This stunning smocked linen dress will be a gift that keeps on giving throughout the spring and summer. Paired with walk-in raffia heels, it’ll feel elegant when going out with friends, but looks just as good with sneakers for a more casual day. The icing on the cake? A buttery yellow bag that epitomizes a warm spring day.
A look that will never do you wrong? A denim-on-denim combination. For a casual weekend day checking everything off your to-do list, this outfit will have you feeling fit, cool, and ready to meet that acquaintance you’ll inevitably bump into while running errands.
Finding a date night top is no easy task, but this asymmetrical dress is the answer to your STAT problems when you need an outfit for dinner. Whether you’re on a first date or dating someone you’ve been dating for a decade, this top exudes a sexy, but not too intrusive, vibe that’s hard to match. Adjust the rest of your look based on how chic (or cool) the night is. A breeze in the air? You already know that your trusty trench will not harm you.
