The Perfect Spring Capsule Wardrobe for College
As we finally make our way into spring, it is time for another capsule wardrobe. You may have seen some of our capsule wardrobe posts here on College Fashion, like the winter one I did a few months back. (Check out this post for the basics on how to create a capsule wardrobe.)
Capsules, as you may know, are a great way to make the most of a small wardrobe, save money on clothing items, and have a wardrobe you love to wear.
Capsule wardrobes should evolve with your style, and they can change throughout the seasons. Adding trends and seasonal items along with your favorite basics makes a capsule wardrobe interesting and fresh. Today we are sharing this spring’s capsule wardrobe along three outfits styling the capsule.

Spring Capsule Wardrobe Example
Tops: Floral Blouse – H&M, White Tee – Topshop, Black Tee – Topshop, Grey Tee – Hollister, Striped Tee – H&M, Sweater – American Eagle, Olive Tee – H&M, Polka dot dress – ASOS
Bottoms: Dark jeans – H&M, Sweatpants – Uniqlo, Mom jeans – American Eagle, Skirt – Newlook
Outerwear: Denim jacket – H&M, Trench coat – ASOS
Shoes: Booties – DSW, Sneakers – Adidas, Heels – DSW
I started off with the basics: a white tee, comfy mom jeans, all-white sneakers, and a trench coat. Next, I added seasonal items like spring florals, bright colors to welcome the warmer weather, and light outerwear. Lastly, I finished off the capsule wardrobe with a few of my favorite trends this season: polka dots, pastel colors, and dark denim.
Striking a balance between basics, seasonal items, and trends creates a killer wardrobe that will keep your style fun and fresh while allowing you to remix the wardrobe for lots of outfit ideas. Too many trends and your wardrobe isn’t practical because it will be hard to put wearable outfits together. Too many basics and your capsule wardrobe is boring, lacking the spice of your personal style.
