Building a capsule wardrobe for spring is all about choosing versatile, timeless garments. This starts by investing in a few essential, key pieces that act as the foundation for countless outfits. Here are my top picks for creating a classic look.
Basic White, Black and Stripe T-shirt
A quality fitted T-shirt is the perfect base layer to build on. It pairs effortlessly with almost anything like jeans, blazers, skirts, or even under a dress. I like to have both long-sleeve and short-sleeve options.
Well-fitted Jeans
A good pair of jeans is a staple to any wardrobe. Invest in a pair that fits well and flatters your body shape. Dark wash jeans tend to be the most versatile, as they can be styled both casually and formally. Whether you choose skinny, straight-leg, or wide-leg styles, denim is a must-have addition to your closet.
Classic White Button-Down Shirt
A classic white button-down shirt is a must-have for your spring wardrobe. It can be dressed up or down for a casual or chic look.
Blazer
A blazer is a piece that offers both function and fashion. It provides just the right amount of style and sophistication for an effortlessly chic touch to any outfit. Adding a blazer is an easy way to elevate any look. Black, tan and navy offer the most versatility for creating an array of different looks. Whether you dress it up or down, you can't go wrong.
Midi Skirt
Midi skirts come in various styles, fabrics, and silhouettes, making them an excellent choice for spring. Styling with a light sweater, cardigan, or even a T-shirt can help to create the perfect outfit.
Comfortable and Stylish Footwear
No look is complete without the perfect pair of shoes. Choose classic, adaptable pieces that complement different outfits and suit various occasions. Ballet flats, loafers, stylish heels, sandals, and classic white sneakers elevate your look with elegance while keeping comfort in mind.
Accessories
Accessories are the secret ingredient to any outfit, taking it from simple and basic, to effortless and chic. Finish off any look by adding in jewelry, a belt, or a handbag.
These essentials create a solid foundation for any spring wardrobe, allowing you to mix and match effortlessly while staying stylish and comfortable.
