My summer coastal capsule wardrobe has you covered for every event, whether you’re spending the summer at home or heading to the water. Dinner out: Nothing says summer like a gingham dress. It has that retro, Jackie O. charm with a classic A-line shape that's perfect for my pear shape (Size M). These espadrilles are so charming, and a white cotton sweater is perfect for chilly A/C. Cocktail hour: This red tee dress (Size L) has that same A-line shape. This denim utility jacket is my new fave, and a fresh take on a denim jacket that adds structure and keeps the vibe casual. Boardwalk stroll & ice cream: Keep it laid-back with denim shorts (TTS), a blue and white striped tee, jelly shoes, and a gray sweatshirt. Sightseeing & exploring: A light blue tee dress (Size L), two-strap sandals, and a striped tote bag work perfectly. Tie on a sweatshirt for air-conditioned spots. Beach day: As someone who always stays on dry land under an umbrella, I go for shorts with a cute swimsuit (Swimsuit: L, Shorts: TTS) and keep them on all day. Wine tasting: This striped shirt dress from Amazon doubles as a cover-up. I picked it up last year. Then I saw celebrity chef Katie Lee Biegel on Instagram wearing it on a beach day, it’s that good. It’s 100% cotton, has drop sleeves, and fits oversized (Size S). Brunch: Gauze pants (Size M petite) feel like pajamas. Pair them with a red tee and a denim jacket for cold A/C. Beach pictures: All white is a classic look. Try gauze pants and a white button-down and jelly shoes. They're easy to take off and carry in the sand. Pool time: This time I've got white denim shorts (TTS) over my bathing suit with a linen shirt around my waist in case I need it for extra coverage from sun, rain, or A/C. 📏For reference, I’m midsized, 5’6”, slightly short-waisted, 36-B bust, and wear a small or medium top with size 10/12 jeans LTKOver40 LTKMidsize LTKTravel
