Create a fun yet practical True Spring capsule wardrobe for spring and summer around your color season’s palette.

2026 is bringing the forest to your closet and I’m so excited about it. I’m seeing a continuation of nature-inspired aesthetics from the cottagecore trend, but this time it’s focused on more delicate and sweet details. I’m loving the soft organic textures, fawn or woodland prints, and jewelry that incorporates dragonflies and cicadas. These are so fun to include in big or tiny doses to your capsule wardrobe.

Your True Spring Spring/Summer Color Palette

As a True Spring, your best colors are warm, clear, and naturally bright. Think warm coral, golden peach, grass green, and warm aqua. They remind me of the colors in a sunlit spring garden.

Core Neutrals:

Warm ivory and cream
Camel and warm tan
Light warm golden beige
Bright warm white (with yellow undertone)

Accent Colors:

Warm coral and soft orange
Golden peach and warm apricot
Bright grass green and warm yellow-green
Warm aqua and golden teal
Clear golden yellow
Warm sunny pink

Essential 15-Piece True Spring Spring/Summer Capsule

Light Layers: 2 pieces

#1 Open Drapey Cardigan in Warm Peach, Apricot, or Coral. I love a longer, open-front drapey cardigan that can be thrown over everything.

Lightweight Cardigan Sweater in Coral Pink

#2 Grass Green or Warm Turquoise Lightweight Zip-Up or Short-Sleeve Sweater. The green/pink combo is one of the easiest outfit formulas for this season.

#3 Warm Coral or Terracotta-Peach Fitted Tee or Crop. A well-cut fitted tee or a crop top in warm coral or terracotta peach is endlessly versatile, tuck it into your skirt, pair it with wide-leg trousers, or wear it under your green cardigan.

#4 Golden Yellow Tank or Cami. A golden yellow tank or spaghetti-strap cami is your warm-toned accent piece. I love the peter pan collar on this one, it’s just a bit more elevated.

Start Building Your True Spring Capsule Wardrobe for Spring and Summer

Take stock of what you already own before shopping. A True Spring capsule does not need to be built all at once. Start with your neutral linen pieces and build toward your signature coral and golden accents.

Before buying anything new, assess what you have versus what you think you need. It helps me to pull out all my warm-weather clothes and look for gaps. A well-curated True Spring Capsule Wardrobe for spring and summer is versatile and you know you will always look beautiful in every piece!
