A capsule wardrobe is a wardrobe that’s got all the basics you need to create more involved, layered outfits. It’s got all you need to build up using accessories and layering different patterns. And a capsule wardrobe helps you get dressed much easier every morning, giving you an easy starting point.
We’ve curated a list of those go-to capsule pieces you’re going to want for the spring. From shoes and purses to tops and bottoms, we’ve selected the pieces that you’re going to reach for time and again during this transitional season.
A Blouse for Any Occasion
You need a few good blouses that you can wear with absolutely anything in your closet, and this blouse is one of them. It’s breathable and comfortable, and the fluttering fabric means it pairs with pretty much any of your favorite bottoms, from skirts to pants.
Sweater Weather (20% off!)
It’s sweater weather in the spring, but not quite, right? It’s cool enough to wear a sweater, but sometimes it’s too hot for a sweater. Compromise with this stunning sweater tank top. It’s super stylish and trendy, but it’s also perfect for the weird spring weather.
Prepped for the Bay (53% off!)

A Cardigan with More (44% off!)
This is more than a cardigan; it’s a trench coat of sorts, but because it’s open and flowy, you can pair it with even more ‘fits than a trench. It hits right above the knee, it keeps you warm, and it complements your favorite spring wardrobe pieces.

Get Your Sweat(er) On
We’re a little obsessed with this sweater. The cut and color make it an instant classic and a staple piece you’ll use for years to come, but the shape of the bottom keeps it feeling exciting and trendy, cut to show off the style of your favorite pants.

This gorgeous shirt is a must-have if you’re looking for something that feels professional and elegant and a little bit fun while you’re at work but can also work for drinks after your long work day. It comes in tons of fun colors to fit every style!
Your Go-To Blazer
You can add a blazer to literally any outfit to create something interesting, elegant, and upscale. It’s a professional must-have, but it’s also a great accessory to have for those moments when you’re trying to add a bit of professionalism to your otherwise laidback outfit.

Give ’em the Boot
Boots are great, but sock boots are even better, especially for the transitional seasons. They just work so well with anything in your closet, fitting beautifully under your tighter jeans and looking bold and beautiful under your loose skirts.
A Classic
A trench coat is a classic for spring. It helps break that cold wind that picks up around you, it’s great for the light spring rains, and it pairs beautifully with all your go-to spring styles. This Noa trench from The Drop is top of our radar right now!
Show Some Ankle (61% off!)
These gorgeous jeans hit just above the ankle, showing off just a little bit of skin if you’re wearing sandals or stopping right above the top of your favorite pair of shoes. Something about ankle-length just feels like spring, making these the ultimate spring jeans.
