Capsule Wardrobe For Your Staycation

With the current situation at the moment we’re sure that most of your holidays or Summer plans have been cancelled or if not postponed. Many people are now getting in the spirit of attempting to holiday at home whether that may be going to put your camping tent up in the garden, imagining you’re in the Maldives by having a tropical barbecue every evening with a paddling pool as your ocean, or even spending the night in your  caravan on the drive. Whatever your staycation is, doing it in style is the most important thing.

 

We’ve put together a capsule wardrobe of everything you should need for your staycation consisting of seven items, including wardrobe staples that are timeless and will be worn again and again.

 

First up, you’re going to need a pair of sunglasses. There’s no doubt about it, wherever you are in the world you’ll need a stylish pair of sunnies to not only protect your eyes in the bright sun, but also to complete your outfit. Try a pair from our A Kjaerbede range; They’re super on trend and there really is a style for everyone.

 

Next up you will obviously require a pair of shoes. We suggest going for a pair of trainers as they’re the most versatile type of shoe and pretty much go with every single outfit. Our ‘Superga 2790 Nappa Leather Trainers’ would be the perfect choice.

 

Now to get down to the clothes. A flowy maxi dress is such a great piece to wear on any holiday as it will look stylish and chic and will also be versatile in different weather conditions and temperatures. We recommend our ‘Adini Daniella Dress’. It has a gorgeous summer pattern which is just what we all need in this weather, and can be worn with a jacket.

 

Speaking of jackets, that’s going to be our next piece! A jacket is clearly an essential to wear on cooler days and in the evening once the sun has gone in. We would suggest our ‘Sandwich Faux Suede Short Jacket’. It’s just the right thickness to keep you warm, and you could also wear draped over your shoulders. The camel colour is not only timeless, but also goes with most colours that you’ll have in your wardrobe. It’s definitely a must in our eyes.

 

Our next item is a classic bag. Everybody needs one and we all take them everywhere with us. Our ‘Inyati Thalie Faux Leather Backpack’ is not only practical and stylish, but is also a timeless piece that isn’t going off trend anytime soon. A backpack is the most ideal thing to carry when you’re on the move and have other things to carry such as a tourist camera.

 

The classic t-shirt is next on the list. We all know how far a basic white tee goes in the world of styling- you can wear them with absolutely anything. Our ‘Foil The Frill Of It All Slub Tee’ is a great choice as it has a basic frill detail at the bottom of the t-shirt giving it a little bit of an exciting touch.

 

Lastly, we have a good old pair of denim jeans. Our number 1 go to at Gemini is the ‘Robell Star 09 Power Stretch Cropped Skinny Jean in Light Denim’. It’s a classic cut skinny jean in a gorgeous denim colour that can and will be worn with any kind of top and your trusty pair of trainers. Your capsule wardrobe is now complete! You have all the great wardrobe staples that can be mixed and matched with all sorts of clothes in your existing wardrobe, and as promised, you will wear these time and time again.
