Want to look good every single day this summer without trying too hard? Want the secret sauce that most good looking women use to always look put together? It all boils down to one essential lifestyle hack: capsule wardrobes. A few pieces of clothes that mix and match perfectly. Honestly….It’ll make your life so much easier.

If you look around women who look very nice at the park or at school drop offs, you’ll often see they wear “uniforms”. They mix and match a number of tops and bottoms that fit, and no matter how many times they repeat the same outfit it doesn’t matter because it always looks great.

That’s the exact purpose of a capsule wardrobe and in this post I’m sharing a summer capsule wardrobe that will help you look your best all summer!

Quick Wardrobe Tips for SAHMs

When building a summer capsule wardrobe, here’s what will help the most:

• Choose around 10 core pieces — enough to make 21 outfits without thinking too hard.
• Stick to stuff you know you like wearing: easy fits, nothing too tight or fancy.
• Go for Fabrics that are soft, breathable and easy to wash. Nothing dry clean or super delicate

What Makes a Good SAHM Capsule Wardrobe

The perfect SAHM capsule wardrobe should be practical for everyday mum life. For a piece to be in this wardrobe, it has to check the following boxes:

• Comfort — for all the bending, lifting, and running around
• Versatility — items that work inside the house and out, dressed up or down
• Colours that go together — so you don’t have to think too much when you mix and match
• Stretchy or relaxed fits — for days you feel bloated or your body just isn’t cooperating
• Things you actually enjoy wearing — not what looks trendy but ends up sitting in a drawer
