Warm Weather Capsule Wardrobe: Minimalist Essentials For Your Closet And Travel Carry-On | 11 Pieces, 10 Outfits
Since warmer temperatures are here, a lot of us are starting to take vacations. Many of us have warm weather destinations on our itinerary, so you need clothes and shoes that not only are comfortable to wear, but also breathe and keep your skin cool in the hot temps. 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!
Last year I created a Warm Weather Travel Minimalist Capsule Wardrobe | 11 Pieces, 10 Outfits. Several of you had contacted me wanting a travel capsule to wear to warm weather destinations, like Florida, coastal cities, the Bahamas and Virgin Islands. I created another warm weather travel capsule again this year! This capsule wardrobe also has 11 pieces (tops, bottoms, a dress and shoes), which can easily fit in carry-on size luggage. I made 10 outfits from these pieces, but you can make more outfit combinations! All the pieces are neutral colors which coordinates beautifully with one another.

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 you that will love! The Simplified Style: Classic Casual Foundation Capsule Wardrobe, is 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. I highly recommend it! It includes both a large luggage and a smaller carry-on size luggage. We have had this set for about 6 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.
Can I Use This As A Regular Wardrobe In My Closet?
Yes absolutely! If you are just starting to use a capsule wardrobe or your need base pieces for your summer wardrobe, I highly recommend using this wardrobe. Since they are all neutral colors, you can add more clothes and shoes in neutrals and/or colors from your closet to expand your outfit combinations! The linen and cotton fabrics on the clothes and the sandals are great to wear where it is hot and humid, so if you live in the southern states, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, California or along the coast, you will LOVE wearing this capsule wardrobe!
Where Can I Wear This Travel Capsule Wardrobe?
When you are planning your clothes and shoes to pack, look to your destination first, then find out what the weather will be like 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, plus the flowy skirt and dress are soft and easy to wear. All these pieces are great to wear while sightseeing and going out to restaurants.
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!

What If I Can’t Wear Black?
You can sub the Black pieces for Navy ones! For those of you with cool undertones, navy may look better with your complexion. For the pieces that are black in this capsule, use navy ones instead: black tank for this tank in “Radiant Navy”, black linen pants for these linen pants in “Deep Navy”, the black tank dress for this tank dress in “Navy” and the black slide sandals with these slide sandals in “Raffia”. You can also sub the black ribbon straw hat with this straw hat in “natural”.

“Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” – James 5:16
Perfect summer wear! I live in Florida and could use most pieces year round. Ordered the dress to add to my collection. I think a dress is so feminine and easy with not trying to pull together an outfit. One and done. Xoxo
Love it!!!
