Veronica Beard Summer Wardrobe Workshop

Jennifer Sattler Stylist shopping at Veronica Beard on Melrose in LA

Veronica Beard is the best brand to build a capsule wardrobe with and consistently designs and delivers quality closet essentials that are fashionable and extremely versatile. I wear their classic Miller blazer more than any other wardrobe staple in my closet, and it continues to be the glue to my casual, professional, and dressy outfits all year long. Their Carolee top, Renzo pants, Mason Baseball tee, and Miller blazer have been the superstars of my most popular capsule wardrobes. If you embrace a less is more approach to your wardrobe you’ll love the Veronica Beard Wardrobe Staples I find for you. I recently shopped at the Veronica Beard store on Melrose Pl in LA. I tried on some new summer styles that I think you’re gonna love, feel good in, and want to incorporate into all your capsule wardrobes.

Top it Off

Trust me I know you can find tee shirts for less than $20, but you’ll never find a top that fits and feels as good as the ones from Veronica Beard.

I just tried their new Birke tank top. I was hesitant because the arm holes and scoop neck looked low, but I LOVED it on. It was so soft, thick, and stretchy. It fit me (5’4″ size 32a) perfectly in a size xxs. The ribbed texture was flattering too. This would make an amazing basic black or white tank all year long. If you are between sizes I’d recommend sizing down in most of their tops.

A great crisp blouse stands alone with shorts or white jeans in the summer. These two new styles are my favorite from Veronica Beard this summer. I’m wearing both of them in a size 2 but would have preferred the fit of my regular size 0.

Better Than Basic Blouses With Collars

This classic blue and white striped button-up with a twist has a matching short. The set would be perfect in my Homebody Capsule.

This top (xs) was a bit of a wild card, but SO pretty. It’s sheer so it requires some styling. I’d recommend wearing it over a strapless dress or bandeau.

Shop the Set

The Coralee puff sleeve top is a Nordstrom 6 favorite and was featured in my First Look at Fall Capsule Wardrobe last year. It looks great layered under a vest. This white lace-sleeve version is on sale here.

I’ve been wearing my new Veronica Beard Mason baseball tee with caramel color sleeves on repeat. A baseball tee is one of the key pieces in my Chic Casual Capsule Wardrobe checklist I debuted last winter but can easily be modified for warmer weather.

I included most of the tops in this post in my new Top Shop which I’ll be refreshing for you regularly with all the best tops from a variety of brands.


I’m a Sucker For Stripes

Seersucker is a summer staple. A classic seersucker blazer looks good layered over your favorite sundress or with a simple white tank top and jeans. I love this new oversized seersucker collection at Veronica Beard. The relaxed blazer is ultra-lightweight and looks great with the sleeves pushed up and tossed over solid or patterned pieces. The buttons are beautiful too.
