After months of jeans, sweaters, and booties, figuring out what to wear when the temperatures start rising can feel surprisingly overwhelming. You open your closet, you stare, nothing feels right — and before you know it you’ve spent twenty minutes trying on a zillion things and you’re still not dressed. Sound familiar? It’s a frustrating phase, but you are definitely not alone.

That’s why each season I curate a hand-picked Capsule Wardrobe for you, to make getting dressed simpler. Consider the spring capsule your done-for-you style roadmap, packed with versatile, stylish pieces that mix and match effortlessly.

No more decision fatigue, no more staring into the closet abyss. Just easy, put-together outfits that make you feel great — every single day.

So nice, I bought them twice…or 3x or 4x or 5x or more! These are a few of my tried-and-true closet essentials I own in multiples, wear on repeat, and confidently call absolute must-haves.

A high-quality plain white tee is another essential every woman needs in her closet. Linking a few of my faves .

This is how I’d style it to wear it during the day. This slip dress is such a great closet staple. It’s made of silk, so it’s much more breathable than a satin slip dress. It’s under $90 AND it’s washable too—no dry cleaning necessary! I’m wearing size xs.

This white button down became an instant favorite for me. It’s so flattering, the criss-cross effect in the front feels very modern, and the bubble hem means no fussing with how to tuck it or wear it. TTS. 🙌🏻 🤍

#LTKOver40 #LTKSeasonal

These Scottie jeans are sooo soft—they have just the right amount of stretch, making them ridiculously comfortable to wear all day.

The dark wash with subtle center fading is also a major bonus! It visually slims and elongates your legs. It’s one of those small design details that makes a huge difference. TTS.

I’ll link both this pair (Scottie) and the high-rise version (Gwenna) 😉

Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's minimalist style is having a major moment — and for good reason. I’m breaking down the 7 key pieces that defined her iconic 90s look.

Drop a ❤️ if you’ve been watching the show “Love Story” on FX. It’s pretty clear…I LOVE it!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40

I live in these sandals currently. I wear them all around the house every day. They have a really great cushion and are comfy, yet chic. TTS.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40

you’re looking for a sneaker that feels rich, elevated, and is also incredibly versatile, try a pair of brown suede sneaks. From deep chocolate to soft taupe, these earthy tones add warmth and sophistication to any outfit—and suede brings in that soft, luxe texture that makes your look feel instantly more styled.

One pair I have and love is this VB Valentina Sneaker in Espresso. Not only is the color stunning, but the platform sole gives a subtle lift—perfect if you’re petite or just want a little extra height without reaching for heels. TTS.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKTravel

These are so perfect for spring into summer because they are lightweight, slip-on (no lacing up needed), and they have mesh panels so you can easily wear them without socks and be comfortable. I love this color too. It’s called, “bark.”

These run true to size, but narrow. I do not suggest trying these if you have wider feet.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40

Chloé is seriously crushing it this season! These sneakers are white with camel edging—neutral and versatile, but with just the right amount of pop. I plan to pair them with everything from jeans to skirts, dresses, and joggers.

If you don’t love the brown tones, these sneakers also come in white! And, I kind of love the mule version too. TTS.

2026 spring sneaker trends

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40

Sneakers continue to be the hardest-working shoes in our wardrobes—and I, for one, am breathing a sigh of relief that, thankfully, they’re still on trend for spring 2026. (Especially since I still can’t wear heels post-bunion surgery!)

This season brings a wave of wearable, versatile sneaker trends from slim retro profiles to rich textures like suede and shearling, even styles that look more like your favorite ballet flats.

This Paige jacket is such a great lightweight jacket for spring / summer. Fit runs true to size.

Anyone else watching #LoveStory on FX? Like so many others I really admired the effortless style of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. She always looked chic and yet hardly had makeup on, barely touched her hair, didn’t wear jewelry. Her one key accessory was a slim watch and her oval sunglasses. I think the popularity of the show is going to keep this style of sunglasses around for a while.

What do you think of the show and her style?

This sophisticated vest set doesn’t wrinkle, is super lightweight, and looks extremely polished. Both pieces easily mix and match, and this look can take you everywhere from the airport to sightseeing to dinner to shopping and more.

I love it so much that I own the set in multiple colors. The trousers are also available in multiple inseam lengths. (I won FIVE pairs of these trousers.) 🙌🏻

This is THE set I recommend to all of my friends. 💖 TTS.
