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.

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.
