If you find yourself staring into the depths of your wardrobe wondering what to wear, it’s probably time to create a capsule wardrobe.
Because editing down your clothing to a curated selection of versatile pieces truly takes away the guesswork of getting ready in the morning.
These fail-safe items are often built around a small selection of staples for summer, like linen, soft cottons and matching sets.

Wondering where to start? JAG — the Aussie brand — has plenty of everyday essentials.
Each can be mixed and matched across work, weekends and even holidays, and are soft and breathable in the Aussie sun.
Ask any fashion expert and they’ll share the same items they recommend for a capsule collection: a linen shirt, denim shorts, a midi or mini dress, and a pair of flattering pants.
Instead of buying a completely new wardrobe, here are the items you could add from JAG.

If you’re after a pair of pants you can throw on with any kind of tee, top or tank — the Zuri style ticks all the boxes.
Crafted from 100 per cent linen with a flattering high rise waist and straight leg, the chocolate colourway is the perfect alternative to a classic black.
But if you’re looking for lighter shades, the pair come in a white colour too.

Instead of reaching for a t-shirt this summer, replace it with a classic stripe shirt instead.
JAG’s Winoma is a fail-safe, in a soft cotton linen blend and relaxed oversized fit, it can be paired with all kinds of wardrobe essentials like denim and tailored pants.
The blue/brown colourway is relevant for all seasons too — meaning you’re guaranteed to still wear it post-summer.

Event in the diary? Spontaneous drinks in the sun? Avoid riffling through your wardrobe thanks to the addition of a gorgeous midi dress.
We’re loving JAG’s Lola style, with a relaxed V-neckline and underbust gather details.
Thanks to the mid-length design, it works for any occasion. And the trending butter yellow adds fun colour too.

Often the most reached for item in a summer wardrobe, a pair of denim shorts has to tick two boxes: comfortable and stylish.
This Loe pair from JAG does both, offering a soft touch denim feel, elasticated waistband and light wash.
Tuck in a tee or pull over swimmers at the beach, or switch to a matching set with the shirt with heels and chocolate accessories if you’re heading out for a meal.

While many fashion girls opt for neutral shades in their capsule wardrobes, it’s always great to have a pop of colour or a print for whenever you need a dopamine boost.
Perfect for plans in the sun, the Rowan Dress does just that.
With pastels colours and a botanical print, it has a fitted bodice and A-line skirt, plus a waist tie to flatter. It’s perfect for alfresco drinks.
