The 2022 summer capsule wardrobe is here! Of course it is mom friendly since I am a mother of 4 who loves to look put together but also rarely does heels or other “fancier” clothing. I truly love putting together these capsule wardrobes because not only does it give me inspiration for my own wardrobe but they’re really fun to organize and think through. I will be putting a capsule wardrobe together like this for each season (and each trip we go on). I hope that you find them helpful! At the end of this post you will see 15 outfit ideas using items from the capsule. I could probably come up with at least 15 more making 1 outfit for every day of the month but I kept it at 15. If I have enough interest, I can also put together a pregnancy/nursing friendly capsule as well for each season, just let me know in the comments or send me an email!
2022 Summer Capsule Wardrobe + Outfit Ideas
Many of these items are ones in my own wardrobe that I love and can assure that it’s great quality and well loved. With each item listed below you will also see a widget with other items that are similar in all different price ranges. Some of the items in the capsule are expensive and investment pieces so I wanted to make sure that I included similar items that are at different price points.
TOPS
Jenni Kayne Cashmere Cardigan | try HELLOFIFTEEN for first users or BRINGITHOME for 15% off | I have been eyeing this cardigan for years but the price tag is STEEP. I finally scooped one up for $100 less on Poshmark with some money I had made from clothing I sold! Woot!

Rag + Bone Open Stitch Sweater | I love a great open knit sweater because it’s cozy but not overwhelmingly hot. I love the way that a sweater like this looks with denim or layered over a dress

Reformation Mason Pant | I discovered these through my friend Karla. They are incredibly comfortable and can be worn dressed up or down. I am currently having mine hemmed at the bottom because they’re a bit too long on me (5’5). I debated getting the petite ones but they’re also smaller in the waist and I didn’t want that! I went up one size in the regular length.

Midi Skirt with Slit | the slit on these midi skirts makes them incredibly flattering and I love wearing mine year round with a sweater in the winter and a simple tank in the summer.

I absolutely LOVE this. Please make one for every season?! ๐ I love seeing you on LTK also, those little videos are very helpful
This is so helpful! I STRUGGLE with summer outfits, and can’t even explain how helpful this is. Thank you! Looking forward to the others seasons as well! ๐
Love your style and appreciate the capsule! Currently in a season of being pregnant and would LOVE options for pregnancy and nursing friendly options!
Hii Lynzy, it would be very much appreciated if you posted a pregnancy/nursing friendly capsule. Struggling at 27 weeks pregnant here.
Really enjoyed seeing this! Iโve seen many capsule wardrobes but enjoy yours the most! Thank you.
Lynzy!!! I have always loved your style and I love these capsule wardrobes youโre putting together. This is my goal to have an Alaska appropriate seasonal wardrobe. I Am still breastfeeding 20 months post partum and have no plans to fully wean for the next year so Iโd love to see a nursing friendly capsule wardrobe as that would be what I gravitate toward ๐
Love this!! Would love to see a nursing friendly capsule for every season. I am struggling to look out together. Thanks!
Due with my first baby is September I would love to see nursing capsule!
Iโve been working on my summer capsule wardrobe and this pallet is perfect! Thanks for the ideas. Miss you on Instagram but so glad to have your blog/newsletter
