The foundation of great summer style involves arming your closet with staple pieces that will take you through the season. A well-built capsule wardrobe makes getting dressed effortless, with versatile pieces that will take you from weekdays to weekend plans. Think crisp linen shirts, relaxed trousers, elevated tees, refined basics, leather sandals, and versatile swimwear.

Invest in great pieces that work harder for your wardrobe, meaning items that can be mixed and matched, layered, and styled in multiple ways for all of your summer plans. These timeless silhouettes are the backbone of a wardrobe. Plus, with such a versatile wardrobe, it makes packing for those weekend getaways easy, or for a longer stay at your second home a breeze. Wherever your summer takes you, you can rely on a great capsule wardrobe to carry you through. Shop our stylist's picks below.
