Warm Weather Travel Minimalist Capsule Wardrobe | 11 Pieces, 10 Outfits
Since warmer temps are here, a lot of us are starting to take vacations! When you travel, you want to pack as little as possible, but have lots of outfits to wear. It’s easy to do with a travel capsule wardrobe!
I created a Minimalist Travel Spring Capsule Wardrobe | 10 Pieces, 9 Outfits and shared it on the blog and on Instagram earlier this week. Several of you contacted me wanted a travel capsule to wear to warm weather destinations, like Florida, coastal cities, the Bahamas and Virgin Islands. I heard you and I have created a capsule wardrobe for those types of vacations! This capsule wardrobe has 11 pieces (tops, bottoms, a dress and shoes) and I made 10 outfits and you can probably make more outfits! All the pieces are neutral colors, so you can mix and match them to create many outfits.
To find out more on how to build a travel capsule wardrobe, see this article here on the blog, “How To Build A Travel Capsule Wardrobe.”
If you love the idea of getting dressed quickly and easily everyday, save money by not continually buying clothes you don’t wear, I have a Foundation Capsule Wardrobe that will love! Several of the pieces in this travel capsule wardrobe are in the Simplified Style: Classic Casual Foundation Capsule Wardrobe, a complete year-round wardrobe for all seasons of the year!
What Suitcase(s) Do You Recommend?
My husband and I have this Calpak Black 2-piece Luggage Set. It includes a small carry-on piece and a large piece. We have had this set for about 5 years now and absolutely love using them! If you need just a small carry-on suitcase, this is the Calpak Single Carry-On Luggage.
I also have these similar Packing Cubes Set, which keeps all your things organized in your luggage.
Where Can I Wear This Travel Capsule Wardrobe?
When you are planning what clothes and shoes to pack, look to your destination first, then find out what the weather will be at your destination. This capsule wardrobe would be great to wear if you are going to a warm weather destination like Florida, coastal cities, Bahamas or the Virgin Islands. Several of the clothes I chose for this capsule wardrobe will keep you cool in the warm temps, like linen, cotton or rayon; the flowy skirts are soft to the touch and easy to wear. I included a simple, sleeveless dress (which you can also wear to the beach over your swimsuit), light tops and tanks, linen pants, skirts and two pairs of comfy shoes for sightseeing and walking.
These 11 pieces will make at least 10 outfits! You may already have these pieces in your closet. If you are missing any, use the convenient shopping links below to add them to your closet!

My hubby and I are on our 2nd week of the Hello Fresh Delivery and LOVE it so far! It’s easy to use, convenient and healthy too! Just sign up for your first free box, make your meal selections for the week and select which day of the week you want them delivered (I select 3 meals a week, 2 servings each for my husband and me). When you receive your box, you put the pre-bagged ingredients in your refrigerator and lay the instruction sheets to the side. Then, when you are ready to cook them, just take the bag out of the frig, chop up the premeasured veggies, cook and you are ready to eat.
We eat low carb, healthy meals, so I choose those types from their vast selection of meals. For our first box, I chose the Pepita-Crusted Salmon with Tomato-Feta Salad & Harissa Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Paprika Chicken In A Lemony Sauce with Pistachio Rice & Roasted Carrots and Spicy Salsa Verde Turkey Tacos with Crema & Pico de Gallo.
We have already saved money so far, since Hello Fresh sends you just the right amount of ingredients for each meal, so there is no food waste. Click below to get YOUR FREE BOX and try it yourself!
Add Some Accessories
Add these accessories to your outfits for chic and polished outfits! Add a scarf to not only add texture and color to your outfits, but to keep you warm if the weather gets cool at night. Be sure to take a hat to keep your head cool from the sun!
I included a straw shoulder bag, but you could also carry this Italian Leather Quilted Crossbody Bag from Quince; it is just the right size, reasonably priced for real leather and I love the quilt texture. It compact and secure, plus it keeps your hands free to sightsee, take pictures, shop, etc!
