Tailored Shorts

"Shorts are trending this season, and here's a bonus: They're comfy too! They're also super versatile and come in many different colors, materials, and styles. I prefer a higher-waisted, looser fit, but wear what you feel best in." — Wright
Flat Sandals
On Wright: Sam Edelman sandals
"A couple of pairs of neutral, flat sandals is key to any summer capsule wardrobe, and I'll never be without mine! Super versatile, easy to pack, and always stylish, you'll wear them all the time." — Wright
Raffia Bag or Tote
On Wright: Clare V. bag

Colorful Dress
On Wright: Farm Rio dress
"Summer dresses in different styles are a smart choice for your capsule wardrobe. For example, this Farm Rio beauty can be dressed up or down, and the bright red is perfect for the season. Keep three or four summer dresses in your rotation and wear them everywhere." — Wright
