My Summer 2025 Capsule Wardrobe Edit
Spoiler alert: This summer, I'm investing in fresh basics.
Now that Memorial Day is behind us, it’s safe to say the unofficial start of summer has arrived! For me, this season always comes with a jam-packed social calendar. Between weekend get togethers, travel plans, and other events in the city, my schedule is already filling up with commitments. That’s why I need a wardrobe that can keep up! The easiest way to streamline your summer style is to curate a capsule wardrobe filled with high-quality pieces that can be mixed and matched for any occasion that comes your way. From must-have tops and versatile bottoms to breezy dresses and statement accessories, planning ahead ensures the rest of your summer is spent focusing on the fun - not stressing over what to wear!
Thus, I am happy to present my summer 2025 capsule wardrobe edit, full of classic staples with some more trendy pieces sprinkled in to ensure you always step out of the house looking flawless.
Dresses
My favorite category in any summer capsule wardrobe are by far the dresses. There’s nothing easier than throwing on a cute one-piece on a hot summers day. Whether a mini or maxi, these breezy silhouettes are perfect for staying chic and cool.
Tops
Obviously, no capsule wardrobe is complete without a strong lineup of tops. This season, I’m keeping things simple and straightforward for effortless dressing. Think solid-colored basics that can be easily paired with just about any bottoms in your collection.
Bottoms
NYC summers are scorching hot, so comfort is the name of the game when it comes to choosing the right pants and skirts to keep within arm’s reach. Lightweight fabrics like linen and cotton are key, as they allow your skin to breathe while still looking put together.
Shoes, Accessories & More
Round out your picture perfect summer capsule wardrobe with a chic lineup of accessories. Even if you tend to stick to basics during this time of year, the right accessories can instantly elevate your look, adding just the right amount of personality to pull everything together! Personally, I cannot stop wearing these chunky bangles, which I featured in my post here!
