A capsule wardrobe is a small, sharp collection of interchangeable clothing pieces, offering more storage, fewer clothes, and cohesive outfits. Building one requires versatility, elegance, and simplicity across tops, bottoms, accessories, and layering. A menswear expert with nearly a decade of experience has selected key items from MyTheresa for a summer capsule wardrobe.
The Essentials
The T-shirt: A white T-shirt is a staple. Polo Ralph Lauren’s option is durable and lightweight, made from pure premium cotton jersey with a small embroidered logo.
The shirt: A well-cut bowling shirt adds charisma. Commas, originally a swimwear label, offers a relaxed-cut shirt with a dynamic, palm-tree embroidered design, reflecting Sydney’s sunny spirit.
The layer: Acne Studios’ zipped sweatshirt serves as a stylish halfway house between a sweatshirt and jacket, ideal for summer evenings.
The shorts: Calvin Klein Collection’s striped shorts feature a breezy, knee-length cut and tasteful branded waistband, addressing common hesitations about wearing shorts.
The trousers: Our Legacy’s wide-leg trousers are lightweight, breathable, and available in a versatile greige hue, channeling a Scandi cool-guy vibe.
The trainers: Salomon XT-6 mesh sneakers in off-white avoid the awkwardly-white period and provide a worn-in look.
The sunglasses: Jacques Marie Mage’s ‘Devaux’ sunnies are crafted from high-quality cellulose acetate, a durable and hypoallergenic plant-based material, in a universally flattering square frame with soft rounded corners.
