My Summer Capsule Wishlist

Summer is right around the corner (weather-wise) and already here (calendar-wise) which means it’s time to start planning my summer capsule wardrobe! Since I’ve started trying to buy more investment pieces, I have come to terms with the fact that my summer capsule will not be complete by the first of July, and that’s completely okay. I really want to take time to think about what I need and what will last me for years to come. There are a few things I’m looking to add to beef it up a bit and add some versatility during these milder days of summer. So here is my edit of my favorite pieces for summer and what I’m hoping to add to my own wardrobe over the next few months!

Time and time again, I find myself with a shortage of blouses in my wardrobe. I’m not sure if that’s because I don’t like buying them as much, or I just really like buying other types of clothing (ie. outerwear, jeans, bags). So this season, I’m hoping to add a couple of neutral blouses that can be dressed up or down, as well as a fitted tank top. I love a billowy button down any time of the year and something in a lightweight silk or linen blend would be so nice for the warmer weather. Similarly, I’m looking for a pair of tailored shorts in a light color, as I currently only have a couple of denim shorts that I love but sadly don’t work for every occasion.

I also have a summer wedding coming up and am still on the hunt for a go-to dress for special occasions. This lovely linen blend midi dress from & Other Stories is so minimal and perfect for an outdoor summer wedding. I’ve even got my eyes on a few investment shoes this season, including the Veja Esplar sneakers, which are chic and sustainable, as well as those gorgeous LoQ Ara sandals that I can’t stop thinking about.

I am so so excited for warm summer nights, beach camping and more weekend trips exploring SoCal. What are you most looking forward to this season? Thanks for reading! xx Jessica
