With that in mind, there are a few pieces every closet must have. We like to think of them as your foundation pieces for the perfect capsule wardrobe to layer and wear season after season. Learn how to build a capsule wardrobe with essential pieces from LoveShackFancy with these 7 key love-forever styles.
A White Dress

Thanks to their ease, white dresses are forever—true story. From vintage-inspired lace dresses like The Minka to throw-on-and-go halter mini dresses like the Deanna and our first-ever style, The Love Dress, a white dress is a wardrobe staple that offers endless styling potential. For example, balance the prettiness of lace with an edgy black sandal and a classic denim jacket. Or, make it flirty, and reach for a chic fit-and-flare dress. Or, keep it simple with a fresh white smocked linen maxi, dressed up with a heel or down with a flat. Lastly, transition a white dress - especially a lacy slip - to fall with a boot or a platform and a leather jacket. Lace and leather will be huge for fall. Trust.
The Ruffle Mini

A forever faithful capsule wardrobe essential is the Ruffle Mini—designed to wear anywhere from the beach to the office, it is the most versatile piece in your closet. Perfect for a spring or summer capsule wardrobe, its effortless ease is perfect for layering. Wear yours to meetings with tailored blazers and a heel or loafer, or to brunch with an airy knit and a flat.
A LBD (Little Black Dress)
 |
 |
 |
A little black dress is a wardrobe essential—yes, even for us.
Of course, pink is always nearby, but black is a non-negotiable for every stylish girl. No matter the silhouette, be it The Natasha Dress, The Minka or The Deanna, the LBD exudes a put-together polish. Wear it with boots and a leather jacket in the fall. Sandals in the summer and a heel for going out. It’s the dress you always reach for. The dress you know always looks good when you don't have time to plan your look… just turn to your summer-ready LBD and go!
The Perfect Pants
 |
 |
 |
Yes! We wear pants, too. Because, trust us, the perfect pair of pants are a must in the rotation. Pants are among the few pieces that can transition seamlessly between occasions by simply swapping your daytime sandals for heels. When styling, a great pair of linen pants can be worn with a lacey tank and strappy sandals for an easy, breezy casual look. Or, turn to crochet pants with a flat and tank or even a blazer with one button, buttoned and a bra for a look that's unexpectedly chic. Reach for a pair of loose silk pants worn with an airy knit.
Strappy Heels
 |
 |
Fleur Flat |
Lilia High Heel |
Heels, heels, heels! We're never not in a heel. Be it a balmy summer night or a crisp fall day, we love a great pair of heels. Moreover, they're endlessly versatile and will go with any outfit, from relaxed suits to floaty summer dresses and tailored pants.
A Bow Blazer
 |
 |
This capsule-closet essential rewrites the story on blazers. The bow-printed Lumine Printed Blazer is an ultra-chic twist on the traditional that's both relaxed and refined. A tailored blazer looks as elegant styled with jeans as a mini skirt and heels—of course! Plus, its white and blue palette offers a summery feel. Wear it with matching shorts, heels, and minimal accessories for the full look! Or pair it with a Ruffle Mini skirt and a platform. Drape it over your shoulders with a white slip dress and a flat. However, you style, it will add instant cool to your look.
