Summer Capsule Wardrobe for Light, Soft, and True Summer Types – Old Money Outfits for Summer 2025
Are you a Summer color type looking to create a capsule wardrobe perfect for the summer season? You’re in the right place! This guide will help you build a stylish and comfortable summer capsule wardrobe designed especially for Light Summer, Soft Summer, and True (Cool) Summer types.
What is a Capsule Wardrobe?
A capsule wardrobe is a small collection of essential clothes that can be mixed and matched easily. It saves time, reduces closet clutter, and helps you always look polished. For Summer types, choosing the right colors and pieces that fit the summer weather is key.
My Style Story
My personal style is a mix of old money elegance and classic pieces with a touch of urban city vibe. I create my looks with feeling and balance, influenced by living in both Europe and the USA. I love comfortable clothes, but I also enjoy wearing heels and dresses for a polished, feminine touch. This combination inspires the capsule wardrobes I design for summer types.
Understanding Summer Color Types
Summer types have cool, soft, and muted tones. Here are the three main Summer subtypes:
Light Summer
Light and cool colors like pastel blues, soft pinks, and light grays.
Soft Summer
Muted, gentle colors with both cool and warm undertones such as dusty roses, soft browns, and slate blues.
True (Cool) Summer
Cool colors like icy blues, lavender, and rose pink.
Building Your Summer Capsule Wardrobe
To build your summer capsule wardrobe, choose pieces that are comfortable, elegant, and in your Summer palette. Focus on:
- Tops: Light sweaters, blouses, and T-shirts in soft pastels like lavender, sky blue, and pale pink.
- Bottoms: Neutral skirts or pants in taupe, soft navy, or light gray.
- Dresses: Flowing, simple dresses in muted or pastel colors perfect for warm weather.
- Outerwear: Light jackets or cardigans in soft taupes or cool tones.
- Accessories: Silver jewelry, scarves in dusty rose or icy blue, and handbags in muted shades.
Style Tips for Summer Season
- Choose breathable fabrics like cotton, silk, and linen blends to stay comfortable in summer heat.
- Avoid very warm or bright colors that don’t match your cool Summer tones.
- Balance casual comfort with chic details like delicate scarves or classic heels.
- Layer softly with cardigans or light jackets for cooler summer evenings.
