Summer Capsule Wardrobe Lookbook

It's time for another lookbook video - this time for my Summer Capsule Wardrobe!

Please forgive the lighting, my office is currently in a big transition mode (yes, this is the room that used to be bright purple!) and I haven't quite figured out my filming set up yet. If you have any tips for me I would LOVE to hear them!

Watch it here or on YouTube!

If you have a capsule wardrobe I'd love to see it! Leave a link in the comments and I'll check it out :) If not, let me know which outfit was your favourite!

Summer Capsule Wardrobe

It's summer in the city! Ever since I returned from the Disney Wonder, Toronto has been seriously hot. I had planned to continue wearing my cruise capsule for another month or so, but it's too warm out for that by far! As you know, my cruise capsule wardrobe was about 50% clothing for the heat of Mexico and the Bahamas, and 50% clothing for around the ship (a highly air conditioned environment). At this point I'm in need of a 100% warm weather wardrobe, stat!

I'm jumping into my Summer Capsule Wardrobe which I plan to wear for June, July, and August of this year. Let's get into it!

Summer Capsule Wardrobe // Plant Based Bride

Summers in Toronto can range from mild sunny days to extreme heat and humidity, usually averaging about 25 degrees celsius (but regularly creeping over 40).

I need a wardrobe made up of lighter weight fabrics to keep me cool and pieces that work for me time as well as work in a casual retail environment.

As always, I stuck with 40 pieces total...

You may recognize some pieces from my fall, winter, and cruise capsule wardrobes in here, but I also picked up a couple fun new items!

As always, my wardrobe is almost entirely void of colour. I like dressing in black, white, and gray for the versatility and how classy it makes me feel! The one struggle I foresee is a lack of sandals... I might end up replacing a pair of docs with a strappy pair if the summer gets any hotter. I also felt the need to include a couple colder weather pieces, just in case the heat is a bit of a fluke and we go back to spring temperatures for a while. I've been loving high waisted bottoms with crop tops lately, and you can definitely see that reflected in my capsule!

I feel like this iteration of my capsule is a good mix of old and new with 8 new pieces and 32 standbys from my wardrobe. For anyone interested in the pieces featured, the following is a list of exact or similar items:

TOPS (22)

BOTTOMS (9)

DRESSES (1)

white lace backless dress

SHOES (5)

OUTERWEAR (3)

See my capsule in action in my Summer Capsule Wardrobe Lookbook!
