Building a summer capsule wardrobe: the key essentials
For ultimate ease, lightweight pieces are the backbone of your wardrobe. From linen, cotton and silk, having a collection of styles and colors crafted in breathable fabrics will keep you looking cool. Opt for a neutral colour palette of beige, navy, and brown that you can easily mix and match with for every destination and occasion all summer can go a long way – this can be applied to foundational pieces such as T-shirts, button down shirts, chinos, and suits. In terms of footwear, it’s worth investing in a pair of sleek leather sandals or espadrilles for dressed-up lunches and dinners or sneakers for exploring town. For accessories, sunglasses and baseball caps are classic pieces to go for sun protection.
