Versatile Summer Staples You Need for a Summer Capsule Wardrobe

It happened... Summer is officially HERE!! While you may be totally ready to spend your days by the pool, at the lake, or on vacation, is your wardrobe summer ready? You might be looking for fun summer outfits to wear on vacation, or maybe you just need a wardrobe reset for your usual activities. This is where the beauty of a capsule wardrobe comes in! Capsule wardrobes are ideal when you don't want to have an overwhelming amount of clothes in your closet but still want to be able to mix and match what you do have to create countless effortless and chic looks. These are our top versatile summer pieces that we think are perfect for your summer capsule wardrobe! No matter what your plans are this summer, these staple pieces will ensure that you have the perfect outfit for every occasion!

 

Every woman needs a go-to basic tank in her capsule wardrobe. Our most popular and best-selling tank tops are our Reversible Tank Tops from Elietian. These tanks come in a variety of solid colors from neutrals to bright and bold hues. We love the slimming and shaping effect that these tanks give, as well as their buttery soft feel. These tanks can be worn on their own tucked into a pair of linen pants or shorts, but they are equally as easy to layer under blouses, kimonos, or light summer sweaters. Another great option for a staple tank is our Reversible Bamboo Cami from Carlie B. Slightly less fitted but equally as buttery soft, these tanks are amazing for those hot summer days due to their lightweight and breathable bamboo fabrication. Wear them on their own or layered under your favorite blouse, kimono, or open-knit summer sweater!

 

 

A blouse that can go with just about anything can be hard to find, but we've done the searching for you.

This top is flowy, feminine, and fabulous! We LOVE the beautiful lilac pink coloration that is an amazing complement to sun-kissed skin.

This blouse pairs effortlessly with white, black, light or dark wash denim and with shorts or jeans!

Sweaters in the summertime may seem like a paradox, but they are making a comeback! A lightweight summer sweater is great for those days when you want to layer up, but don't want to burn up.
