My 2020 Spring Capsule Wardrobe
I can feel it. The weather is changing, the days are getting longer and warmer, spring is in the air. With the change in weather, that also brings a change in wardrobe. We begin to trade sweaters for tees and leggings for skirts and shorts. Toss in the cute sundress and we are ready for some spring weather. It can be overwhelming with what you need and want for spring and not so easy on your wallet. I created a capsule wardrobe for spring 2020. These are a few things you can add to your wardrobe if you don’t already have them, and then if you see some trends, you can add them to these styles as well.
Let’s look at jeans and pants. I am not a big jeans or pants person when it is hot outside. I choose to wear more skirts and dresses. However, there are times when I am all about throwing on some white or boyfriend jeans and a tee. White jeans are a necessity for your spring wardrobe. They go with everything and anything. With pastels being so hot this season, they are the perfect touch. If you don’t like white jeans, check out a fantastic pair of boyfriend jeans. They are worn and fit loose in the hip and are something you can just toss on and go and wear either casual or dressy.
A white tee is such a necessity for all times of the year, but in the spring it works even better. It goes with anything and is the perfect thing that you need in your wardrobe. You might have a white tee in your closet, so be sure to look at it and make sure the color is not dingy and the underarms are not discolored. You can get white tees for low prices so don’t be afraid if you need to toss a stained shirt and pick up one that is brand new! In addition to a white tee, you most definitely need a band tee. These are super hot right now and you might not want a band tee, but just a plain graphic tee. They add so much to an outfit and are typically so comfy.
Spring weather can be a little crazy. The days might be warm, but the nights are still so cool. Be sure to have a fun jacket in your possession. I am crushing on denim and camouflage print jackets. These are two jackets that can be thrown on with a tee and jeans and you look like you tried to put an outfit together. Another way to style a jacket like this is to toss it on with a tee shirt or maxi dress. The denim and camouflage jackets seem to be around for a while, so I suggest adding one to your wardrobe.
Let’s talk about dresses and skirts. A fun maxi dress is like crotchless yoga pants. It is just that comfy. In addition to a maxi dress, I would add a tee shirt dress. Both of these are basic styles that can be added and the look can be changed with jackets, shoes and other accessories. Same with skirts. Animal print midi-length skirts are super hot right now. You can find them anywhere, so be sure to pick one up. They can be dressed up with a silk cami or down with a tee. Toss on a jacket for those cool nights and you are ready to go.
There are so many accessory choices for this season. I have only picked a few that I must have. The espadrille sneakers are so fun. Sneakers of all kinds are a must-have, let’s add in the espadrille look and you have a funkier spin on the basic sneaker. I love a fun wedge espadrille. You can pick one that is super high or there are even lower ones. They just scream warm weather to me! Hair scarves are so fun. You can put your hair in a low ponytail and just toss that on. Lastly, I love a straw purse. A straw purse is so fun and is another item that is just fun to have for warm weather. There are so many styles at so many prices, so just keep your eyes open in any store.
I hope this spring 2020 capsule wardrobe helps you get started on your spring wardrobe. Be on the lookout over the next few weeks as I give styling tips for each different style and how to change up the look. Let me know some of your faves!!!!
