A Mini Colorful Capsule Wardrobe
This simple and fun mini colorful capsule wardrobe is casual and comfy yet elevated so you feel chic and stylish while going out and about, working from home, or even hanging out with little ones.
The pieces, while colorful, are still great for layering, can be mixed and matched, and add color to your style without being overwhelming.
I personally love neutrals so creating this capsule pushed me out of my comfort zone but I’m really happy with how it turned out.
Also, because I had to stay true to my natural instincts, I chose to stick with more muted colors rather than bold colors. If you are into bold colors, just make adjustments accordingly when creating your own colorful capsule wardrobe!

Tips for a Cohesive Colorful Capsule:
What you need to consider when it comes to a colorful capsule wardrobe, is adding the right pops of color to create a connected look as opposed to a rainbow that’s exploded (my 4 year old daughter would be all over that, lol!).
While some people do love to throw on tons of color and combine all kinds of patterns (no judgement here!), in general, most people prefer colorful outfits to still have a cohesive look.
Here are some tips to achieve cohesiveness in a colorful capsule wardrobe:
|
striped sweater // mauve sweater // floral dress // green sweater // pink slip skirt // white jeans // blue jeans // ivory cashmere cardigan // denim jacket // nude woven mules // green glove boots // blush heels // white sneakers // leather tote bag // pink crossbody bag
Colorful Capsule Wardrobe Checklist:
For a mini colorful capsule I recommend including the key pieces below that will give you versatility and also many different combinations.
- 1-2 pairs of jeans/bottoms – distressed blue denim or a muted colour denim like sage/olive green, or cream.
- 1-2 muted color denim or chore jackets –an oversized style is current and trendy
- 1-2 color long sleeve shirts or sweaters – cashmere, wool, or a blend for an elevated look and feel
- 1 neutral knit cardigan sweater – for cooler days and in a cashmere, wool, or a blend for an elevated look and feel
- 1 striped color knit pullover sweater – cashmere, wool, or a blend for an elevated look and feel
- 1-2 neutral t-shirts or tank-tops – great for layering (not pictured in capsule graphic)
- 1 printed color dress – that can be dressed up or dressed down
- 1 solid color midi skirt – that can be dressed up or dressed down
- 1 pair of white sneakers– easy to pair with colors
- 1 pair of nude flats – easy to pair with colors
- 1 pair of color boots – for cooler weather, to dress up or down
- 1 pair of color heels – choose a style of shoe that best fits your lifestyle
- 1 neutral leather tote bag
- 1 colorful crossbody bag
These items will change slightly as the seasons change – in the winter you’ll need warmer pieces so you may opt for a sweater dress rather than a summer dress. You’ll also swap out the denim jacket for a warm wool coat and so on.
