A minimalist wardrobe or basic capsule pieces – (have almost identical meanings) these are the clothing pieces that are successfully combined in under any premises, and within each other. They are appropriate almost any occasion such as work, birthday parties, and walking around town or running errands.

Therefore, it is quite important to have such basic fundamental pieces in this hectic rhythm of life. Plus, you will save a lot of money. Think of basic staples pieces as an investment into your wardrobe. When you have a high-quality white tee in your wardrobe, you’re able to make A LOT more of stylish outfits, unlike T-shirts with a print or a logo, which are usually impulsive buys that you never wear.

16 Minimalist Staples You Need For Your Spring Capsule Wardrobe

1. WHITE T-SHIRT

The easiest and most fashionable outfits always start from the basic elements of the wardrobe. Therefore, you should update your capsule wardrobe every season, for the most trendy outfits. For example, this year, the most trendy tops are either ribbed tees or oversized and relaxed tees.

2. TANK TOPS

You might already have a white classy t-shirt, but let me tell you the amount of times a tank top saved my life is just countless. It’s necessary to have at least one white or black tank top but other neutral colors are also perfect. These are so chic and stylish and easy to dress up or down.

3. CLASSY BLAZER

A good quality classy blazer is definitely a must have nowadays. A blazer is no longer considered to be a part of workwear ONLY wardrobe essentials. A great fitted blazer is either a masculine oversized blazer or a double-breasted blazer but the main key here is that all blazers no matter the model type have to be relaxed fit. My most worn blazers are either black or cream / white blazers, and that’s not something new. Neutral colors will always have a higher priority and they will always pull off any look.

4. A WHITE BUTTON DOWN

A good quality white button down is definitely an investment and you don’t even have to work in the office to be able to wear a white button down. I’ll share some ways for you to wear one without looking too nerdy lol. It’s just as important to have a high-quality white button down as a classy white t-shirt. And honestly I really don’t know why I have it listed as a number 4 it should be the second most important item after a white tee!

5. CARDIGAN

A knitted cardigan will be a really stylish and cozy addition to your spring capsule wardrobe. Go with a neutral staple piece because you can have more variations with outfit combinations when styling your cardigan. From the updated models some of my personal favorites are chunky cardigans, boucle cardigans, oversized knitted and long elongated cardigans. So, there are plenty of styles for you to choose from.

6. WHITE HOODIE

I feel like nowadays everyone has some sort of a hoodie, but I would catch your attention to an oversized white hoodie. These are literally everywhere and you’ll be able to style a white hoodie with something more elevated like a pair of sleek trousers and sneakers, a shirt dress, and the most trendy combination yet is with a tennis skirt.

7. SWEATER

Another great spring staple piece is a relaxed sweater. but if you want to step up the game then a Breton striped sweater is a must. Also, a cashmere lightweight sweater could be a great classy addition.

8. BUSINESS CASUAL TROUSERS

At least one pair of smart casual trousers will be perfect for a stylish spring capsule wardrobe. Trousers can even replace jeans because all of the looks I share jeans and trousers are interchangeable. And that’s the best part about a great fit wide leg trouser.

9. JEANS

A great fitted pair of jeans is really important, its a must have for sure. But, for spring you can try to get out of your comfort zone and if you always wore dark denim give a try with styling a chic pair of fitted light denim jeans. Some, of the popular denim trends are mom jeans, high-waisted straight jeans, and straight jeans with frayed hem edges.

10. LINEN SHORTS

Linen shorts for some regionals are an essential part of spring capsule wardrobe. This is definitely for a warmer weather or future spring vacations. They’re so easy to pair with a tank or tee and throw on a cardigan for a warmer layer.

11. SKIRT

As with the trousers, a black skirt or a skirt in neutral tones of white, beige and grey, will do. And if the mini doesn’t often work out too well, midi is an option that is appropriate for any event at any time of the year. A really popular midi skirt in 2023 is a denim midi skirt with a front slit.

12. LEGGINGS

Such an inseparable part of an everyday women’s outfits! I was really debating whether or not to include leggings into a minimalistic spring capsule wardrobe, but then again think about how many times a week you wear leggings? The answer will vary due to everyone’s lifestyle but majority will agree that leggings became a necessary piece in our daily wardrobes!

13. DRESS

I won’t talk about how necessary a little black dress is, but I will insist and encourage to have at least one black dress to begin with. However, today I want to share how important a neutral / pastel dress is in a minimalistic spring capsule wardrobe. Look into beige dresses, wrap, linen, tweed, denim, or silk. When there’s a stylish cut, model and texture incorporated all in one dress you really don’t have to think on how to style it to make it look presentable and chic.

However, a simple neutral linen dress will be a great fundamental basic piece to work with, which will give you more freedom to play around with layering or accessorizing!

14. TRENCH COAT

A trench coat is a universal piece and an essential staple for an all year round capsule wardrobe. Some pieces are timeless and versatile and stick to the capsule wardrobe all year round and for many years to come. You just may need to update your trench coat every decade or so for a more modern and trendy fit.

15. LOAFERS

Most updated version of your outdated flats from the early 2000’s! Loafers have always been part of a classy women’s capsule wardrobe. Plus, there’s many models of loafers for you to choose from, some are more edgy like the high-platform chunky loafers and many look like the oxfords!

16. SNEAKERS

Sneakers have always been combined with more casual outfits but now is the time to try to wear your sneakers with everything elevated for more modern chic looks. A white pair of sneakers go well with certain trousers, skirts and even dresses! See for yourself!
