Having quality pieces in your closet that will take you from lounging at home to out and about is essential. Whether you’re dropping the kids at school, running errands, or off to a casual brunch. They are designed to be worn for an active life and everyday wear. Fall is a great time to update your athleisure outfits. Today, I’m sharing a round-up of elevated casual outfits from TravisMathew Women’s line that are versatile, stylish, and comfortable for fall and beyond.

Choosing neutral colors is one of the easiest ways to elevate your athleisure look. These pants (SZ XS) will take you from a day of errands to a night out. The wide leg flows and flatters as you walk, while the delicate botanical print adds an extra bit of detail.

The comfy cloud tank and shoreline wrap top are two of my favorites from the TravisMathew Women’s collection. Both are made out of an incredible luxe fabric. The Shoreline top can also be worn in reverse, making it a perfect option to have in your closet and when traveling!

TravisMathew OutfitThe off-the-shoulder detail of this ponte top (SX S) is the perfect choice to balance out the ponte-fitted shorts. (SZ S)

The Ponte fabric delivers the right amount of stretch and comfort in all their pieces. I love the length of the shorts, and they are much more comfortable than spandex bike shorts.

Sunwashed Denim Shorts Faherty

Sunwashed Denim Shorts FahertySunwashed Denim Shorts

I had given up on denim shorts until I discovered the Sunwashed Denim Faherty shorts. They have a worn-in, effortless vibe I love. The soft denim is comfortable with just the right amount of stretch. They have quickly become my favorite pair. With a 4 3/4″ inseam, they allow for versatile styling with flat sandals or dress them up with a summer wedge.

The Faherty Sunwashed denim shorts are under $100.00, run TTS for me, and are available in four other colors. I’m wearing the color medium indigo wash. Don’t forget will get 20% off when you use my code HERFASHIONEDLIFE20.

Eyelet Top Faherty Womans Clothing

Eyelet Top Faherty Womans ClothingFaherty Carmel Eyelet Top

Summer and eyelet go hand in hand. The details are beautiful on the Carmel Eyelet top. They have added a patchwork style to the eyelet, and I love the shell buttons. This is a summer essential eyelet top! The body of the top is lined, so there is no need to layer under it. Puff sleeves are unlined to show your summer tan through.

I’m wearing size small in this Faherty Carmel Eyelet top in white, with plenty of room; an extra small would also work. It is available in two other summer colors.

Style Tip: If you want more of a v-neck to your button-up blouses, turn the top in at the upper buttons, as I did below!

Faherty Gauze Dress

Faherty Gauze Dress Her Fashioned Life

Dream Cotton Gauze, Lucia Dress

A gauze dress is a summer essential! Faherty has elevated this 100% organic gauze dress with beautiful sewn embroidery details around the collar and the down the front. This gives you a vintage charm detail and gives this light, flowy dress a bit more structure.

Faherty has also added a small piece of fabric under the armhole so you won’t have bra peekaboo. No pockets on this dress mean no bulk, leaving you with a sleek look.

I am wearing a size extra small in the Faherty Lucia Dress in white; it is naturally oversized. This gauze dress is also available in a beautiful rose color as well as a top.

Style Tip: Buy versatile summer pieces you can wear in many ways; this can also be styled as a swim cover-up.

Blue floral dress Faherty Clothing

Blue floral patterns are dominating summer fashion this year. The Sorrento dress is vintage-inspired and perfect for any occasion. I love the timeless design that is comfortable and flattering with a body-skimming fit. The buttons are functional, so you can choose how much leg you want to show.

I’m wearing a Small in the Faherty Sorrento dress. I do suggest sizing down; an extra small would fit me better. I’m 5’6″ for length reference. Flat shoes would work for me in this dress as well.

See my review of each down below!

For fit reference, I am a 34D, 25″ waist, and 120 lbs. All suits below are a size 6. Most are regular, but I noted if they are the long torso option that Summersalt Swimwear offers.

Summersalt Swimwear Review

The Bow Shoulder Ruched Sidestroke

Make an entrance wearing this chic one-piece. This classic black suit has dainty detail with the white bow and will be the best-understated glam at the pool! I love that it has waist-defining seams and an asymmetric open back. The chest is lightly lined with sewn-in padding, so you do not have to worry about the pads getting messed up in the wash.

This suit is also available in a long torso. I’m wearing a size six regular, and it fits perfectly! I love this fun print the suit also is available in.

This suit is also ideal for doubling as a bodysuit. Pair it with a skirt or trousers on the bottom to take you from the beach to cocktails!

I am wearing a size six regular.

The Effortless Voile Shirtdress Coverup

Swimsuit//Coverup

This shirt dress coverup is light and airy. The gorgeous fabric feels so soft and luxe. The belt is removable, so you can leave it open or button it up and wear it belted as a dress. I would wear this as a light outer layer over shorts or pants at night and poolside during the day.

I’m wearing a size Medium. You can see the striped option here.

The Ruffle Oasis

“The Ruffle Oasis” is a classic maillot one-piece that comes in several gorgeous colors and prints with sizes rangeing from 2-22! I love the coverage in the front. This suit leaves me feeling very secure and free to move around.

As with most suits from Summersalt Swimwear, you have waist definition and sewn-in soft cups to feel great in this suit!

I am wearing a size six regular and love how it fits!

 

Leopard print one piece summersalt swimsuit

The Marina

“The Marina“ is a staple everyone needs in their swimwear wardrobe. The second I saw this suit in leopard print, I knew it was perfect for me! I love the adjustable straps, flattering diagonal seaming, and sewn-in soft cup padding!

This classic suit comes in several colors, including Summersalt Swimwear’s iconic color blocking! With the perfect amount of compression to create a gorgeous silhouette, I’ll be wearing this in and out of the pool. This suit will be the ideal top under a black blazer and denim for the fall months.

I’m wearing a size 6 Long Torso.

 

Summersalt Swimwear Review

The Fishnet Crewneck Coverup

Swimsuit // Fishnet Top

This chic top is flowy and drapes beautifully, leaving your swimsuit peeking out. I also love to toss mine over my shoulders or wear it with shorts.

The hardest decision about this piece is what color to get, tan, black, or white! The perfect coverup that doubles as a top and travels wrinkle-free!

I’m wearing a size Medium here.

Summersalt Swimwear Review

One piece bathing suit with a straw bucket hat

The Sidestroke

Called the “Unicorn of Swimsuits” by The Today Show, The Sidestroke is one of Summersalt’s best-selling swimsuits and offers superior compression. The back details are incredibly flattering. I love how easily this swimsuit doubles as a bodysuit. Pair it with denim cut-offs or a maxi skirt and heels for a night out!

I am wearing a size six regular.

Summersalt Swimwear Review

The Perfect Wrap One Piece

This wrap swimsuit has a genius design! It is visually a wrap; however, the part that wraps over and ties is pulled over the deep v-neck of this swimsuit. Rest assured; everything is staying in place in this suit. The wrapping allows you to get a flattering fit, and it is available in several prints and colors!

I am wearing a size 6 Long Torso.

Amazon Summer Capsule

If you haven’t discovered the gem of Amazon fashion yet, you will love these Amazon Summer Capsule finds. I love a good seasonal capsule for a sustainable wardrobe option.

Double score when you can get it on Amazon Prime! I have rounded up the latest casual style finds from Amazon that you’ll wear repeatedly.

The trick here is to find items you can wear interchangeably to make a ton of new outfits. This will help take the guesswork out of everyday dressing and maybe even save you a little money!

 

Amazon Summer Capsule

 

Your Staple Accessories

Amazon is a great place to find affordable accessories! There are many popular brands of jewelry that are under $20, made of good quality, and will not tarnish!

Straw Bag

Some of my favorite straw bags have come from Amazon! A cute straw bag is a summertime staple. They give you a much lighter feel than leather. Straw bags are perfect for sitting by the pool, beach, or just your everyday outfits.

White Tee

A year around staple, especially in the summertime! You can easily dress a white tee up or down, depending on your chosen accessories.

Bodysuit

Bodysuits are another staple to wear in the summer to put together outfits. Some of my favorite outfit combinations with a bodysuit include Bodysuit + Denim Shorts, Bodysuit + Linen Shorts, and a Bodysuit + Denim Skirt. Bodysuits keep things smooth and seamless. You can throw a denim jacket or button-down over the top for the chillier evenings.

Tank Tops

Tank Tops are a great summer must-have! Much like bodysuits, tank tops are effortless to style in the summer. You can dress them up with leather shorts and heels or dress down with athletic shorts and sneakers.

LBD or LWD

The white dress I’m wearing here is from Amazon. I didn’t have high hopes, but it is incredible! I love the quality and the fit of it. Perfect to have in your summer rotation. It’s available in several other colors. I need the black dress now!

Matching Set

Matching sets are trending. I love not having to overthink my outfit when I wear a matching set. Great for those days when you don’t feel like putting much effort into your outfit! The sets below can be dressed down with sandals for a pool/beach day or dressed up with wedges for a fun day out.

PJ Set

One of my favorite ways to elevate my nighttime routine is wearing pajamas that I love. My go-to for pajamas is light and breathable fabrics. I love silk sets that are cooling to the touch.

Gauze Button-Down

Gauze my go-to light fabric for summer. It is lightweight, airy, and can be styled in many ways. Easy to pack because it doesn’t wrinkle much.  I love to wear a gauze button-down as a coverup or with denim shorts!

Coverup

I love to wear coverups that can double as dresses for those quick times you want to grab a bite to eat or run an errand.

Denim Shorts

An Amazon Summer Capsule staple that I don’t think will ever go out of style! I style mine with t-shirts for a more casual look, bodysuits or tanks for a day out, and blouses for a more elevated look.

Linen Shorts

Linen is of my favorite fabrics for summer. It is so lightweight and breezy it won’t leave you feeling sweaty and sticky. Not sure what to style them with? Swap out your favorite outfit with denim shorts to a pair of linen shorts and give your look a fun summer twist!

Denim Skirt

Just as denim shorts are a timeless staple for summer, so are denim skirts! Denim skirts are incredibly chic and flattering. I like to opt for a longer skirt with a slit. This makes for a classier outfit, but the slit will add the perfect sexy detail!

Your Favorite Summer Shoes

When it comes to shoes, I stick to three main categories in the summertime. Flat sandals, sneakers, and heels! Those three categories will have you covered all summer long. I prefer neutral colors when sticking to a capsule wardrobe for more outfit combinations. For example, I will wear white sandals or sneakers and then black heels to compliment my evening looks.

Hello, springtime in Texas! This season is one of my favorites.

I’ve rounded up the latest EIGHT spring outfits from multiple retailers all in one post today. Whether you’re looking for casual, dressy, or work-appropriate outfits, I have options for everyone.

Spring Capsule Packing List
Spring Capsule Packing List 1516 1120 Tammy Caciola

Spring Capsule Packing List

Another winter has come and gone, and we’re officially gearing up to face the glorious spring and summer days! It also means that we’re digging our spring wardrobes out of storage and swapping our boots for our sandals. The bright colors, lightweight fabrics, and beautiful textures of spring fashion always feel like a reward after a long season of winter wear. With spring and summer come lots of fun trips! That is why I have put together the perfect Spring Capsule Packing List for you.

What Is A Capsule Wardrobe?

The simple definition is that it’s a curated wardrobe made up of versatile pieces you love to wear. Creating your capsule wardrobe should be a testament to your personal style.

A capsule wardrobe consists of a set of tops, bottoms, dresses, outerwear, shoes, and accessories that can be easily mixed and matched together to be dressed up, down, and anywhere in between. It means your closet has less trendy pieces that will only be worn for one season and more high-quality, classic pieces that stand the test of time and can be worn for years. The best part? While it might feel more expensive at the moment, you’ll actually save money in the long run since you won’t be going through so many fast-fashion pieces.

Once you master a starter capsule wardrobe, it can be curated and swapped from season to season. It makes it easy to pack up and take out clothes for the appropriate season because every time you pull them out, they’re just as in style as when you bought them.

How To Build A Spring Capsule

To create a capsule wardrobe, begin by examining your current clothing. Assess each item to determine if it’s an essential piece you want to keep. (More here on how to decide that) Remember to include shoes and accessories when editing your wardrobe.

Then, sort each item into one of four piles:

  1. I love it and will wear it tomorrow: These pieces fit your body and lifestyle, and you’re happy wearing them. Put these back first.
  2. Maybe: These pieces might not fit perfectly, have sentimental value, or you just can’t put your finger on why you don’t wear them more. (If you haven’t reached for it more than once, it belongs in this pile too). Put all of these items in a box and store them in a place that’s easily accessible. If you find yourself reaching for an item, put it back in your closet after; if you haven’t reached for it by the end of the season, keep it in the box to take to donate. This is noncommittal (for now) and allows you to change your mind later.
  3. Hard no: Whether it’s because it doesn’t fit or you just decided you don’t like it, pack these pieces up to donate them.
  4. Seasonal: There’s no need to keep a cashmere sweater next to your summer tank tops. Move all of your seasonal pieces into a storage location that will be easy for you to swap out once the time is right.

Now, look at what’s left in your closet and evaluate what your personal style is and what holes you have. Maybe you’re completely set on jeans, but you could use a new jacket for spring. Now that you have a clear vision of what you’ll be able to pair that jacket with, you’ll make a better selection for what fits your closet. This doesn’t mean you have to entirely forego trend pieces and forever live wearing button-ups and jeans—it just means that when you do purchase trendier pieces, you know that they’ll have a place in your wardrobe and that they’ll get worn.

Spring Capsule Packing Pieces

White Tee

I always bring a couple of white tees because I find myself wearing them frequently. They are perfect to wear by themselves or layer. My go-to white tee is a cropped, boxy silhouette. I love this Varley tee. It is of incredible quality and so soft. A great look-for-less option is this Everlane tee! 

 

White Button Down

A white button-down is a hero piece in any capsule wardrobe. With numerous styling options, it can be worn as a light jacket, tied up over a slip dress, or even as a swimsuit cover-up. Its versatility makes it a staple in the fashion world.

Flattering Jeans

A great pair of jeans are an essential piece to pack for vacation. Opt for a comfortable pair that can be worn casually during the day and dressed up with heels at night.

My Favorite Jeans are linked here. 
Look for less Jean

Long Denim skirt

This is a trendy piece that I have been wearing non-stop. It’s pretty much taken the place of shorts for me. Think about styling this skirt with either a button-down, plain tee or a bodysuit with a sweater tossed over your shoulders. Cute flats or heels work with this look. This one from Mango is my absolute go-to!

Slip Dress

A slip dress is a classic, versatile cut that I always make sure to pack. For a casual look, simply layer it with a cozy sweater or wear a tied-at-the-waist button-up top over it and pair it with sneakers. To dress it up, wear heels and accessorize with your favorite bag. This perfect piece easily adapts to changing temperatures through smart layering.

Vince Dress
Look For Less

Cotton Sweater

I love to bring a striped sweater and a color-of-the-moment sweater when I travel. These are great for wearing alone or layering over shirts, jackets, and dresses. See the style hack of how to do that here!

Chambray Shirt 

Combine this timeless button-up shirt with your fresh white pieces for an effortless look. With denim on denim being a popular trend in 2023, this outfit is an excellent way to stay on-trend using your spring capsule wardrobe pieces.
Frank & Eileen Famous Denim Shirt
Look For Less 

Spring Jacket

Denim is a classic choice when it comes to spring jackets. I love this one when going for a white denim. White denim is incredibly chic and offers versatility in styling options!

Jogger Set

A cozy with a jogger set that can be worn as pieces separately or together is always in my luggage! My personal favorite is the Spanx AirEssentials Jogger and matching crewneck. They feel like you’re wearing a cloud and are of amazing quality.

Here is a post where I review the AirEssentials line. Spoiler Alert: It is incredible!  You can use my Spanx discount code FashionedLifeXSpanx for 10% off plus free shipping and returns!

They just came out with a new washable silk top and bottom set I love! I grabbed the sky blue color in S.

Linen Pants

Tis the season of linen, and these are my current favorites! Linen pants are my favorite in the spring and summertime. They are lightweight, breezy, and can be styled in so many ways! I’m wearing a two below, which I exchanged for a 0, and they fit much better and are the perfect length!

Swimsuit Coverup

The older I get, the more important my swimsuit coverup is!! I want it to be chic, luxe-looking, and versatile, so I can also wear it out during the day or night. My go-to is anything The Shoreline.

Going Out Dress

This can be your favorite LBD or LWD.  I always bring this one because not only is it flattering and easy to dress up or down, I literally roll it up in my luggage, and it comes out wrinkle-free!
This beautiful dress is also a favorite piece I always look forward to wearing. The fabric is soft and luxe. Use discount code Herfashionedlife15. 

Shoes

When it comes to shoes, I like to stick to 3 categories. One great pair of sneakers, neutral and comfy heels, in addition to your favorite spring/summer sandals, to finish out your Spring Capsule!
