What are steps to create a beach travel capsule wardrobe for women?

  1. Choose three tops in the same color palette.
  2. Select two bottoms that coordinate every top.
  3. Add a layering item.
  4. Pick a comfortable multi-purpose dress.
  5. Accessorize!

Step 1: choose three tops

First, choose three tops in the same color palette. Include some variety in material and pattern. The tops will set the tone for the capsule wardrobe, so focus on these three items to achieve the look you want. Do you want three graphic t-shirts, for a super-comfortable relaxed look? Or maybe some solid cotton shirts with a unique flare, like gathered sleeves, or other accents. If you are unsure of what colors go well together in a single palette, reference a color palette resource site, such as this one.

Step 3: add a layering item

Next, add a layering item that you can use with any of the outfits. Even the beach has a chilly day now and then, plus restaurants and stores tend to run the air conditioning colder than I like in the summertime. I also like to wear my extra layer during the travel to and from the beach. Pick a solid color in to coordinate with the tops. Some options to consider are a denim jacket, cardigan, zip-up hoodie, or a button-up shirt. If you never get cold, you can always omit this item.

Step 4: pick a comfortable dress

Now pick a comfortable dress that can serve as both a swimsuit cover-up and an outfit for a casual night out. I like a loose-fitting t-shirt dress that I can toss in the dryer if it gets wet. A sundress is also a great choice. Pairing either of these with a denim jacket for a dinner out looks fabulous.

Step 5: accessorize

Accessorize! Choose a pair of flip-flops and some sandals, and add in a cute bag – maybe even one that can serve as your beach bag too. You’ll want to wear your flip-flops on the beach, so make sure they can get wet without damage. Will you be walking a lot? Make sure the sandals are suitable.
