Here’s some more summer style inspiration for you! I’m sharing a summer work capsule wardrobe and some of my favorite tips for creating a summer work wardrobe!
Workwear can feel repetitive very quickly, but when you have the right mix of pieces, you can keep feeling like your style is fresh and your confidence is high all season.
I’ll start off by sharing some tips for creating a summer work wardrobe and then share an example of a summer capsule wardrobe for work!
3 Tips for Creating a Summer Work Capsule Wardrobe
1. Start with Bottoms.
I almost always build wardrobes with bottoms first. Having a variety of bottoms makes outfits dynamic and gets you out of the “printed blouse and black pants” rut. Trust me on this one! Therefore, in the Wardrobe Checklists in the Summer Work Wardrobe & Outfit Guides, we start with bottoms first! Plan those out, then choose tops that go with your bottoms!
2. Mix up the Silhouettes of Your Bottoms.
Workwear can get really repetitive really quickly. One of the most effective ways to mix up your workwear is to change the silhouettes of the bottoms that you wear. Mixing up shapes and silhouettes adds much more variety to your outfits, so focus on adding a few standard pairs of basic skinny work pants along with varying silhouettes, like kick fit, bootcut, wide leg, and paper bag waists.
3. Go for Tops with Special Details and Prints.
To add more visual interest and life to your outfits, choose tops with special details and prints. Again, workwear can get repetitive really quickly. Including an ample amount of statement pieces will help add visual interest to outfits. In the Wardrobe Checklists inside the Summer Work Wardrobe & Outfit Guides, we walk through several different types of tops to ensure you have enough visually interesting pieces.
Now, here’s an example of a summer work capsule wardrobe. This is the example capsule wardrobe in the new Summer Wardrobe & Outfit Guide (which turns into over 100 outfits)!
