June Sunset Blues Capsule Wardrobe

7/5/2025

CEFR Level C1-C2

Summer style is all about bright colors. But what if you prefer more muted shades? Nature has your back! Here is a wardrobe color palette inspired by a June sunset.

Dark trees stand in front of a large grey and blue cloud. The sun shines with gold and peach colors in the center of the cloud and white beams of light streak across the light blue sky behind the cloud. Below the photo are seven rectangles of colors representing colors found in the photo.

Here’s how you might create different outfits from that color palette. If you mix up the different outfits and are willing to wash clothes more than once a week or to buy duplicates, you could have an entire summer wardrobe right here.
