Summer Capsule Wardrobe

As temperatures get warmer, there’s nothing better than embracing a new season and switching out your bulky Winter wardrobe with your Spring and Summer pieces. These transitory periods are the perfect time to have a clearout and to spot any gaps in your summer wardrobe, preparing for the sunshine and summer events ahead. We know that finding the inspiration for a wardrobe switchover can be hard. So to help, we’ve curated our guide to building and styling a European-inspired capsule wardrobe for Spring / Summer 2024.

The purpose of a capsule wardrobe is to minimise and centre your outfits around several versatile key pieces which, when styled effectively, can be worn on rotation in multiple combinations. Not only will a capsule wardrobe prevent you from overspending between seasons, it also means you can invest in just several high quality, timeless items which can be worn year-on-year.

Here we’ll introduce you to our recommended essential items for your Spring / Summer capsule wardrobe and showcase some of the finest European clothing brands featured on Feather and Stitch, each renowned for their quality and design. Whether you are waiting at the school gate, picnicking with friends or exploring a beautiful city, we’ve got you covered for the perfect Spring / Summer ensemble.
