This Summer I’m sharing more capsule wardrobes starting here with the Sezane Summer Capsule Wardrobe, using 12 pieces to create 48 outfits! You may have a lot of these staples in your closet already, but if you don’t this guide will help you figure out what you need.
The first fact you’ll learn here today is that a capsule wardrobe doesn’t have to come all from the same brand. Second, not everything needs to be neutral or boring. While this post is centered around one of my favorite French brands, Sezane, don’t forget to think about what you may already have while you read through. The looks below should serve as a guide to Summer outfits and a good idea about what you may want to add to your closet.
Having at least twelve items you can mix and match can create endless outfits or in our case, 48 outfits.
If you add one item to your wardrobe this season it has to be the white maxi dress. It’s so easy to dress up or style casual and offers you the epitome of the chic Parisian outfit. Wear it with white sneakers for a more casual look or with some strappy sandals for something a bit more effortless. Maybe that’s just me, but you will definitely get a TON of use out of this dress on hot summer days.
Now, let’s get you the Sezane Summer Capsule wardrobe of your dreams.
Sezane Summer Capsule Wardrobe – 12 Pieces 48 Outfits
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12
If you’re just starting your capsule wardrobe, you don’t have to load up on all twelve items. It’s best to add one or two items you can see yourself wearing often. Like white sneakers or jeans. See how many outfits you can make with items you currently own! This will help you decide what’s missing.
Sezane’s items are more tailored so consider this when selecting your size. For blouses and shirts for a more tailored look, I get a size 6, for a more casual fit I get an 8. In knits, I go for a medium for the space in the arms. The blouses will carry you right into the Fall. When going for prints I love a neutral base. Like I said above, a capsule wardrobe doesn’t have to be boring and color is okay! Opt for solids and smaller prints with a main color vs. tons of colors.

Tops
Max Shirt & Tomboy Shirt
I own both of these in a few color and print variations. The main difference between the Max shirt and the Tomboy shirt is the fit. The Max shirt is the perfect oversized boyfriend button down. It’s not boxy and loose in all the right places. The Tomboy shirt is a straight cut which I find more tailored. It’s not as long as the Max shirt. I take a size 6 and the fit is true to size on me.
Valentine Blouse & Marcelo Top
The Valentine blouse is sheer and comfortable in the heat. It has just the right amount of give and stretch. I wear my normal size.
A tank is a summer staple, so I had to add the Marcelo top to this roundup. I love the high round neck line with necklaces layered over it. It’s a perfect addition to your closet that you’ll grab for years to come.
Dress
Romina Dress
There’s something so elegant about a long-sleeved maxi dress. I was drawn to the embroidery and round frill neckline on this one. The top portion is unlined making it breathable. While I wouldn’t wear this on a humid summer day, I would otherwise grab it. This would also be a perfect dress for a bride-to-be!
Denim
Le Crop & Brut Sexy
Jeans are so easy to pair with just about anything in your closet. If you haven’t tried the le crop, they’re one of my absolute favorites. A wider, baggier let but perfectly fitted in the waist. I’m usually a size 26/26 and I take a size 6 in these. If you have a more narrow frame I would try the brut sexy. Mid-rise with a slightly tapered straight leg.
Accessories
Justine Basket Bag & Isabelle Bag
If you’re looking for the perfect raffia bag for Summer look no further. The Justine basket bag is it. I would opt for the golden raffia as it’s a bit less out there, but any of the colorways work. Throw it over your shoulder or carry it by hand!
If you follow me on Instagram I recently got the Isabelle bag in pistachio and I couldn’t be more in love. After almost two years of decluttering and creating a capsule wardrobe, I knew I needed some color. This shade of green goes with just about everything.
Sam Sneakers, Elsie Low Sandals & Gloria Sandals
These three shoes will get you through the entire summer. Sneakers are necessary in my book and I love the woven panel on them. I own the Elsie low sandals and while the first wear was a bit tight (I have a high instep and wide-ish foot), they molded to my feet. I’m so happy I broke them in. I took my normal size. Finally, the Gloria is a perfect sandal when you need some height or for a more elevated event.
Jewelry
Danae Necklace, Arya Necklace, Leo Bracelet
I have several Sezane jewelry pieces in my collection. They’re some of my favorite and most durable pieces. I recently grabbed two Leo bracelets. They are a great size and catch your eye. If you have a larger wrist these aren’t adjustable and are quite fitted. I’ve had my eye on the Danae necklace for a while. I love the green color!
