The 2025 Summer capsule wardrobe
The summer 2025 uniform is all about style, with an emphasis on ease. Whether you're keeping it casual or living out your Euro-summer dreams, 2025 is about embracing the idea of a ‘capsule wardrobe’.
A capsule wardrobe is a curated collection of versatile, high-quality essentials that work together to create endless outfit options. The summer capsule wardrobe makes it easy to get dressed and look effortlessly chic on the regular.

My take on the summer capsule wardrobe…
So, how do you begin building your own capsule?
Before shopping, try visualizing the vibe you want your style to give off. For me, this summer is all about finding harmony in a style that's free-spirited and put-together. I adore the look of refinement with a surprise through color and design details. Creating a mood board (hello, Pinterest!) is a great way to gather inspiration. What truly speaks to you? A capsule wardrobe isn’t just about fewer pieces, it's about better clothes. Clothes that reflect you!
From what I’ve gathered, these pieces may be great additions to your summer capsule wardrobe…
1. The elevated tank
Cropped, sheer, ribbed- whatever it may be! Finding a tank that you gravitate towards is a must-have.
My choice this summer is the Gimaguas ‘Bow Top’. This top is the ideal basic with a fun detail that I feel reflects my style.
2. The perfect tote
Another staple of the summer is a functional tote bag.
After an extensive search, my choice of tote is the Sezane ‘Gabin Bag’. The ‘Gabin Bag” seriously pairs with every outfit and has not failed me yet! Similar to this bag, Sezane has a variety of great totes at a range of prices.
3. The ballet flat
Chic & simple- ballet flats are back in full swing. Whether you go for classic leather, satin, or suede, a great flat brings instant refinement to any look.
My pick is any of the flats from Ballerette. The ballet flat is a blend of comfort and elegance. I’ve especially loved playing with a pop of color this season.
4. An oversized button-down
You can never go wrong with a neutral, oversized button-down. It’s endlessly adaptable. Layer it over a baby tee, tank, or dress to add a touch of polish with just the right hint of coastal grandma charm.
The ‘Must-Have Oxford Shirt’ from Everlane is an obvious choice.
5. The go-to white skirt
What’s a summer wardrobe without a flowy skirt? A white skirt is the definition of effortlessly chic. Full-length or midi, a white skirt goes with absolutely everything.
My summer favorite has been this Gimaguas midi, featuring a stripe detail.
Not only does the summer capsule wardrobe allow for ease and efficiency, it is a great way to practice sustainability. By investing in fewer, versatile pieces, we begin to move away from the temptation of fast fashion and overconsumption. With just a few intentionally chosen pieces, your summer capsule wardrobe can carry you through the season with style!
