Are you thinking about putting together a capsule wardrobe for summer 2021?
If you love fun summery colors, like to be comfortable, and look put-together, then you are in the right place!
Here’s a look at the whole capsule. It features 2 cute graphic tees, 3 solid color tops, 5 patterned or striped shirts, 3 dresses, 8 bottoms, 5 pairs of shoes, and 7 easily interchangeable accessories.
Summer capsule wardrobe palette
Every capsule wardrobe works best if it based (at least loosely) on a specific color palette. This allows your pieces to be easily mixed and matched, helping you to create fabulous outfits within seconds of opening your closet doors every morning.
The colors we’ve selected for summer 2021 are:
- white
- navy
- light blue
- yellow
- fuschia
- carnation pink
White and navy serve as the base colors and are wonderfully flattering neutral colors for nearly all skin tones. Yellow and fuschia add a touch of summery brightness, while light blue and carnation pink soften the whole palette. You’ll be amazed how well these colors mix and match!
