What is a capsule wardrobe?
A capsule wardrobe is a collection of interchangeable clothing items. So essentially, you have a select number of pieces you can mix and match throughout the spring season.
What should i put in my spring capsule wardrobe?
What to put in your capsule wardrobe depends on your personal style, climate, and preferred colour palette. But as general rule you should put pieces you love and would wear often.
Here I’ve collected all the basics of a warm spring capsule wardrobe for 2023. If you are a beginner who wants to know how to but is unsure where to start when creating a capsule wardrobe, this post is for you.
This roundup is in three sections:
Tops and Jackets
Plain T-shirts:
These are a must-have in every closet. The versatility that a good quality cotton t-shirt brings to your outfits makes them ideal for warmer weather. Since I live in Florida, they are the foundation of any spring or summer capsule wardrobe. Try The Organic Cotton Box-Cut Tee by Everlane. These t-shirts are comfortable, and they have the most amazing fit.

Tank Tops
Tank tops are usually more of a summer staple, but seeing how the days have just been getting hotter and hotter, it will be a spring regular this year. The H&M Crop Tank Top and the Women’s Pima Micro-Rib Funnel-Neck Tank by Everlane are 2 of my go-to’s. Two completely different styles give me more variety in my outfits.
Black Bodysuit
Bodysuits are in, it’s been in, and I don’t see it going anywhere anytime soon. Want to know why? They pair well with everything while giving a fitted and flattering figure-hugging appearance that you won’t get with regular tops. This one from skims is my current fav.
White Button-down
These shirts are a closet staple for achieving an elevated look, whether casual or not. My recommendation is Versona white button-down shirt. Or this polka dot button-down might be more your style.
Blazer
The Women Ruched Sleeve Jersey Crepe Blazer from boohoo is my choice for a neutral and comfortable casual blazer that you can dress up or down.
Denim Jacket

Denim jackets are undeniably popular. I don’t think I don’t know one person who doesn’t own a denim jacket. It is the most basic of all basics. Once you find a good denim jacket, you keep it forever. This one from Nordstrom is a frayed, light-wash fitted jacket.
Dresses and Bottoms
Denim Pants
A well-fitted denim jeans pants are a staple. Whether it be mom jeans or skinny jeans, they’re always good to have on days when planning your outfits may not be an option. My recommendation is the Women’s Jo Cropped Wide-Leg Jeans.
A Pair of Leggings
I found having a well-fitted pair of tights or leggings is a life saviour on days you might want your outfit to be practical but with thinner layers than perhaps jeans pants, for example. Try this one if you’re in the market for leggings.
Jean Shorts
The jeans shorts are a warm-weather must-have; From beach days with family to casually running errands on a Wednesday, it’s simple and practical. These from Saks Fifth Avenue is a distressed high-rise denim that pairs well with everything.
A Midi\Maxi Skirt
A mid-range to longer-length skirts are good clothing items for a flowy and feminine touch. Another plus is that midi and maxi skirts usually suit all body types. This knit tan maxi skirt from Revolve is perfect for lounging on vacation or on a brunch date with your girls.
Little Black Dress
We’ve all heard the importance of the little black dress to our capsule wardrobes. So you already know it’s an understated and timeless item. Check out the Brea Mini Dress.
Shoes
Sneakers
Nike Air Force 1 Shadow is a good pair of sneakers. You can mix and match with multiple outfits. Having interchangeable shoes saves so much time getting ready.
Sandals and Slides
The Ariane Leather Slides are cute, neutral and practical. Having sandals or slides gives you options; for day-to-day duties or casual get-togethers.
Comfortable Pair of Heels
I don’t know about anyone else, but I love kitten heels, especially ones that are comfortable with a flattering shape and style like these from Saks Fifth Avenue.
Jewellery
A big jewellery trend for the summer has been pearls. The Coco Tiny Pearl Necklace from Little Quaint Fierce is the perfect piece to compliment your outfit. LQF is my jewellery brand, and we specialize in all gold jewellery for women to feel confident, bold and beautiful wearing.
