Lands’ End Summer Capsule Wardrobe

Sometimes I scroll through a retailer's New Arrivals, and a capsule wardrobe pops into my head. I was inspired by the colors and lean lines of the Lands' End New Arrivals, ordered some, and knew I had to create a Lands' End summer capsule wardrobe.

This Lands' End summer capsule wardrobe is a good choice for those who aren't focusing on work fashion, but having fun in the sun. Maybe a summer vacation, time at the beach, kayaking on the lake, visiting a resort. These are the pieces that will get you through a getaway, offering enough room for you to show your personality with what is in your existing closet.

linen tunic | linen blazer | sweater | tote | striped tank | coral tank | striped UPF/rashguard shirt | black refined tank | linen pants | black refined shorts | coral skort | navy active shorts | one-piece swimsuit | two-piece swimsuit | UPF cap | bracelet | sunglasses | leather sandals
Not featured, from other retailers: straw hat | belt bag (ALISON10 for 10% off) | waterproof sandals (read my review of these sandals) | sneakers

All the pieces are available in misses and plus sizes, with some also available in petite and tall. Even the straw hat comes in sizes!

As always, I get your capsule wardrobe sartorial juices flowing with sample outfits from this collection. To see the images larger, click on any of them. Use your arrows, swipe, or tap the arrows to advance through the collection of 20 outfits. Click outside the image to return to this screen.

Summer is a time when you can mix activewear, swimwear, and streetwear together. Linen does double-duty as swim coverups and daily attire. UPF-friendly shirts can go from morning hike to afternoon on the beach, to early evening dinner dockside. When colors are cohesive, you will find more versatility.

You don't need a lot of clothing to achieve a lot of style. You also do not have to update your closet each season. I specifically chose Lands' End because the style is relatively timeless, the fashion very versatile, and Lands' End does a good job of having the same color through different categories of apparel.

As someone who owns several pieces in this capsule wardrobe (same and different colors), I will be replicating these looks and creating new ones all summer long. Follow along on Instagram and LTK!
