WHAT TO WEAR

Over 40 Summer Wardrobe Capsule

Capsule wardrobes are getting a lot of attention these days. Generally speaking, a capsule wardrobe is about a core group of items that all work together and can be combined in many ways to create many different outfits. You end up with fewer things that you wear more often. 

Capsule wardrobes can save you time and money and make getting dressed easier. Here is an example of a casual capsule wardrobe for spring and summer.

1. Start with Some Neutral Bottoms

Start with a basic set of casual bottoms for spring and summer, such as blue, white, and colored jeans. Here are some examples.

3. Inject a Little Color

While an all-neutral capsule can be lovely, I like to keep it interesting by injecting a little color. In this example, I’ve chosen lavender, a popular color this year.

4. Create Outfits

You can create dozens of different looks from the items I feature here. Here are just a few examples below.
