Summer is a time for vivid impressions, light fabrics, and stylish looks. Creating a basic summer wardrobe will help you always look perfect without spending a lot of time looking for clothes. Let’s figure out what basic items should be in your capsule wardrobe for the summer.
How to build a basic summer wardrobe?
We recommend that you start building your capsule wardrobe with the following steps:
- make a list of necessary things;
- choose only high-quality items that will last a long time;
- don’t be afraid to experiment with style;
- feel comfortable in your clothes.
In order not to get confused among a large number of things, clearly write down what things you should have. Since this is the base, which means these are things that will be relevant for a long time, it is important to choose high-quality models. VOVK is constantly updating its base so that you can choose exactly what you need.
The main elements of a summer wardrobe
If you need to put together a summer wardrobe with a minimum number of items, then your basic wardrobe should definitely include the following items:
For summer, it is better to choose models made of natural fabrics, such as cotton and linen, which allow the skin to breathe. Basic colors include white, black, beige, and pastel shades. Remember that there should be more outerwear than underwear. This rule is especially important for the summer season.
Choose several pairs of shorts of different lengths and styles. Denim shorts, Bermuda shorts, linen shorts — all of these will come in handy. Lightweight skirts made of natural fabrics are also an indispensable item in a summer wardrobe. This season, mini and maxi dresses are at the peak of popularity.
One or more dresses with a simple cut will become the basis of many looks. You can always combine them with jackets, vests, and jackets to create completely different looks. The same jackets, cardigans, and shirts made of lightweight fabrics will also come in handy in a summer capsule for protection on cool evenings.
As for shoes, we recommend paying special attention to sandals, sandals, sneakers or sneakers.
How to create looks from a basic summer wardrobe?
With basic things, you can create not only always relevant but also interesting looks. To do this, just combine different textures, play with colors, experiment with tops and bottoms, and don’t be afraid of layering.
Try combining smooth fabrics with textured ones, for example, silk with denim. On the one hand, this is the simplest look possible, but thanks to the different textures, you will look simply stunning. Add bright accents with accessories. If you have combined a completely basic look, then dilute it with an interesting bag and significantly increase the degree of style. Don’t be afraid to combine things of different styles to create unusual looks. Classic pants with a grunge T-shirt? Why not, such looks are really memorable. And even in summer, you can wear layered outfits — if, for example, you put on a light cardigan over a top.
How to update your basic summer wardrobe?
If you already have a laconically formed summer wardrobe, but in the new season you just want to make it more interesting and relevant, we recommend that you additionally analyze seasonal trends, add more accessories and follow sales that will allow you to update your wardrobe with minimal costs.
Creating a basic summer wardrobe is an investment in yourself. Thanks to it, you will always feel stylish and confident.
