I’m currently using my Summer 2021 Neutral Capsule Wardrobe, which I created just a couple of weeks ago. I had created this Summer capsule wardrobe for my closet, but being that I love neutral colors so much, I created a Summer capsules with just neutrals, so now I’m using this capsule. My capsule includes a few pieces in chambray & light blue colors, which both blend in with the denim, so those colors work as neutrals.

I created my all-neutral colors capsule for my closet based on my capsule collection, Simplified Style®: The Dressy & Casual Collection – A Year-Round Core Closet Essentials Capsule Wardrobe. In this capsule collection, there are 400+ outfit combinations for each season of the year, outfit calendars and more!

Simplified Style®: The Dressy & Casual Collection

Outfit #1 – Stripes, Chambray & Hermes Dupe Sandals

I’ve worn several striped tees in the past few years and this Boden Breton Tee is my most favorite! A few years ago I bought the navy/white stripe one and I wore and washed it so much! I recently replaced it with this black/white stripe one. I sized up to a 12 since it is a slim style tee and it fits perfectly. The neckline is an open style and it has a straight hem with tiny slits on both sides. Since this tee has a straight hem, it looks great tucked in or untucked. I wore it with a front tuck with my shorts for a relaxed look. I’m wearing my Talbots chambray 7″ shorts, which coordinates well with the striped top. They have nearly sold out of my exact shorts, but I really like these Chambray Paperbag Shorts! Chambray is a neutral color fabric which goes well with other colors. My Steve Madden Hadyn Sandals in the black color look very similar to the designer Hermes style and are currently 25% off!

Outfit Details:
Boden Breton Tee
Talbots chambray 7″ shorts (love these Chambray Paperbag Shorts)
Steve Madden Hadyn Sandals in the black color
Elle Drop Earrings in “dichroic glass”
Elaina Adjustable Bracelet in “ivory pearl”

Outfit #2 – Blue, White & Cognac

I added this Grayson Washed Cotton Shirt in the “french blue” color to my closet recently. I love Grayson shirts so much that I am ambassador, so you know if I love wearing them, I’ll let you all know about it! Even though this is a long sleeve shirt, it’s very lightweight to wear in the Summer. I roll up the sleeves to just past my elbows and wear it with a pair of shorts and sandals for a cool, crisp outfit.

I bought these J. Crew White Chino shorts on our trip to Nashville for our 10 year anniversary and I love wearing them! These Madewell Liane Woven Sandals in the “english saddle” color (exact) are very comfortable and are easy to walk in all day. Since it is the end of the Summer season, sizes are limited, but these Wave Slide Sandals are similar.

Outfit Details:
Grayson Washed Cotton Shirt in the “french blue” color
J. Crew White Chino shorts
Madewell Liane Woven Sandals (also like these Wave Slide Sandals)
Tortoise Sunglasses
YSL Lou Camera Bag in “dark beige” color (similar budget Quilted Crossbody Bag)

Outfit #3 – Beige & Black

When I was building my my Summer 2021 Neutral Capsule Wardrobe, I pulled this beige linen tie front top out of my closet. I had this top in my summer capsule a few years ago and I just love it! I originally bought it from Gap. I found this similar top which is a sleeveless style. My black shorts are a chino style and I found a similar style here. I’m wearing my Steve Madden Hadyn Sandals in the black color and am carrying my Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis Monogram bag (shop preowned at Fashionphile).

Outfit Details:
beige linen tie front top (similar top here)
similar black chino shorts
Steve Madden Hadyn Sandals in the black color
Elisa Necklace in “iridescent drusy”
similar gold/pearl bracelet set
Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis Monogram bag (shop preowned at Fashionphile)

Outfit #4 – Chambray & White

I wore this outfit the other day and loved it! I have had this chambray button up shirt in my closet for several years and I would added it in my Summer 2021 Neutral Capsule Wardrobe. I made this flatlay photo of my outfit, then put on the outfit and thought the shirt was a bit bulky to wear for the summer. I swapped it with my Talbots Chambray Tie Front Top I had in my closet and am more pleased with that top. It is sold out, but here is a similar Chambray Short Sleeve Shirt that is so pretty! I had had these Wit & Wisdom White Pants for a couple of years and enjoy wearing them everytime. Even though they are “pants”, they feel like a very lightweight jean and have a bit of stretch to them. I love these Steve Madden Hadyn Sandals so much that I bought two pair, this white color and a black color!

Outfit Details:
swapped for my Talbots Chambray Tie Front Top (similar Chambray Short Sleeve Shirt)
Wit & Wisdom White Pants (similar style)
Steve Madden Hadyn Sandals
similar French Twist Gold Earrings
Beaded Wrap Bracelet

Outfit #5 – White Linen Shirt & Jeans

I’m wearing the Grayson Artist Linen Shirt in the white color and Ya’ll, this shirt is perfect in every way! And, it’s NEW from Grayson! I’ve worn it several times so far and I love the fit and style of this shirt. I have worn it untucked with my shorts and I also like doing a front tuck, like I did wearing it here with my jeans. I usually wear a size “03” in Grayson shirts, but I sized down to a “02” in this shirt and it fits perfectly.  Receive $25 off your Grayson.com order by using the code “LEANNEBLACKMON” at checkout!

I’m wearing my AGOLDE blue slim straight jeans and my Steve Madden Hadyn Sandals (again!) and completed my outfit with jewelry from Kendra Scott and my Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis Monogram bag (shop preowned at Fashionphile).
