We’ve shown you how to put together a capsule wardrobe for fall, winter, spring, and now we’re preparing you for summer. If you’re unfamiliar with the concept of a capsule wardrobe, it’s a mini-closet comprised of absolute style essentials that you can mix, match and repeat.

But paring down your wardrobe to the basics can get a little tricky if you’re someone who likes to hold on to that concert t-shirt from eight years ago. Once you’re ready to let go and build out your capsule, here are 16 summer basics for a seasonal capsule.

Here are the 16 pieces that should be on your summer capsule wardrobe checklist:
