Summer Capsule Wardrobe
By: Natalie Koch
What I love most about our clothing is how versatile it is. No matter the occasion, it's easy to find a way to make our styles work. Summer is a great time to experiment with building a capsule wardrobe to make packing for your next trip a breeze.
An easy formula to start with in building a capsule wardrobe is 5 tops, 2 pants, and 2 cover ups. This number of styles is pared down just enough to leave space in your suitcase, while allowing you to make multiple outfit combinations. Here's how I would style the following 9 pieces during my summer travels . . .
Exploring the City
When visiting another city, I love exploring cafe's and hole in the wall shops. When I don't know where exactly the day will take me, I gravitate towards my relaxed Milo Pant. Paired with a clean white Max Tank and some classic booties, this is a casual yet chic look that never fails.

Taking It Easy
Our Tori Tank and Milo Pant were made for those days you just want to kick back and relax poolside. Stash a Joni Cover Up in your bag for after you take a quick dip and want something easy to throw over your swimsuit.

A Dressy Affair
Whether you're traveling for work or want a dressier outfit for those "just in case" occasions, our Sunrise Jogger and Sami Top is a foolproof choice. Paired with heels and a sleek leather purse, this outfit can take you from the office to dinner with ease. Layer our Bryce Jacket over for added interest.

Days On-The-Go
For those days with a packed itinery, it's important to feel comfortable. Enter our tried and true Sunrise Jogger. I love to embrace the athlesiure-like feel of the jogger by teaming it with a sporty tank, like our Tori Tank, and some comfy sneakers.

Night Out
When the weather drops at night, light layers are key. Our Bryce Jacket was made for fluctuating temperatures. Layered over our Lara Top and Milo Pant, this is a hassle-free outfit that will keep you covered at night without sacrificing style.

Fabric Fit to Last
From start to finish, I pay attention to fit and fabric above all else. I want to highlight the beauty within us all and make people feel amazing in what they wear. Wearing fabrics they love, made by people they know. Understanding that things can change at any point but when you know you can rely on what you’ve invested in, it adds a sense of community.
