The Ultimate Summer Capsule Wardrobe for Men

Do you have any men in your life who could use a little fixer-upper in the wardrobe department? Well, I’m here to help!

Most men don’t love to shop, so keep it simple and get them a capsule wardrobe! Each piece mixes and matches together, making putting outfits together super easy. If you have done a capsule wardrobe for yourself, you might notice that a men’s capsule has a lot of similar pieces and that the same rules apply that we use for a women’s capsule. Pick a color palette that complements their skin tone and add neutrals! Because there are fewer pieces that he will be wearing more often, it is best to opt for quality over quantity. And as always, focus on finding the perfect fit!

These are the top nine items every man should have for the summer! ■

1. The perfect T-shirt

2. Great light denim

3. Casual chino shorts

4. Flat front chinos

5. Weekend lounge outfit 

6. Casual button-down shirt

7. Brown belt

8. Brown loafer

9. Lightweight third piece
