Almost every woman gets out of bed in the morning with a reluctance to choose a new interesting image. I would like not to waste time, but to quickly get dressed and leave the house while feeling comfortable throughout the day. No wonder our grandmothers came up with the expression: “To the feast and to the world.”
Every woman is constantly "watched" by an evil fashionable devil, whose name is "nothing to wear." What to do when the whole closet is really full of clothes, but there really is nothing to wear? There is a way out: make a list of basic things. It is this category that things will never become outdated and will always be in trend. At the same time, from the basic things you can make a win-win one hundred percent stylish images. These things are like your second skin. No women's wardrobe can be called complete if these 50 basic things are not there. Let's choose the main ones. And before that, let's figure out: what is an intriguing basic wardrobe. Interesting? Let's go!
Basic wardrobe, list of things. What is it?
The basis of any style is the basic things that every woman should have in her wardrobe. Thanks to the stylish successful combination and bright interesting accessories, you can create your own unique style.
Review your lifestyle. This is the first thing to do before starting to create a basic wardrobe. Of course, there is a whole list of basic things that stylists recommend. However, if you are a housewife, then you are unlikely to need a trench coat or a pencil skirt. Rather, on the contrary. You will need jeans, sneakers and T-shirts - these things are the "core" of your wardrobe. And if you have a creative profession, then casual style, most likely, is like your own. In this case, you are unlikely to need a business suit.
Second step: pay attention to the peculiarity of your figure.
Third step: remember what shades of colors you look great in.
Let's figure out what are the basic things in the wardrobe? The base is universal clothing, the "foundation" of every women's wardrobe. This is not a random list of things, as it might seem at first glance. The basics fit perfectly together. At the same time, on the basis of one such thing, you can build a full-fledged stylish image.
Basic things like Chip-Chip and Dale always come to the rescue when there is no time or a stupor in the head when choosing: what to combine with what.
Casule and basic wardrobe: differences
There is another type of wardrobe - capsule. This is a set of things that are matched to each other with bright accents and prints. In this list - fashionable stylish directions. The capsule is a ready-made option that does not need to be combined and supplemented with anything. Things inside this capsule are already greatmatched to each other. At the same time, it is even difficult to “embed” any element into a finished capsule. Grab and dress!
A basic wardrobe includes separate things. Simply put, this is the backbone to which you can add other things.
This is the main difference between a basic wardrobe and a capsule one.
Things from the capsule wardrobe are difficult to transform into other images, unlike the basic one. For example, what can be combined with a black little dress? That's right, anything!
Usually ready-made capsules are selected by stylists. Such "blanks" can be seen on the pages of glossy magazines. Moreover, the finished capsules will look trendy. Blindly copying the finished "capsule" in real life is not worth it. It is necessary to take into account the peculiarity of the figure of a woman and her lifestyle.
How to make the right wardrobe: tips
Stylists recommend following the basic rules when creating a fashionable look. So, the basic rules are:
- details in the image should complement each other and be complete;
- pay attention to the proportions of the figure to emphasize the dignity;
- the constituent elements of the image must be combined in form, otherwise disharmony of the set will result;
- place accents skillfully and carefully so that the main style stands out;
- color shades are better to combine taking into account the color type of a woman, so she will look brighter.
If you follow these five rules, then it will not be difficult to create a stylish look. At the same time, age features have nothing to do with it. You can look stylish in your 20s and 60s. The main rule is to choose what you feel comfortable in. Of course, keep track of fashion trends, but don't blindly follow them. In order to develop a personal sense of style, it is enough just to observe modern design solutions.
Another unspoken rule: we create a basic wardrobe, taking into account the woman's age. Of course, at 20 there are no special restrictions. You can easily experiment with length, styles, colors and prints.
But closer to 40, the length of the "mini" and very tight-fitting things will be bad manners.
After 60, a woman can afford to get real pleasure from expensive fabrics. The priority is the quality of clothing.
Creating the perfect basic wardrobe
First rule: determine the main thing that will be the accent and set the style direction of your wardrobe. Be sure to consider the time of year and the event you can wear this item to.
Second rule: we select the rest of the elements of the image in accordance with the color of the main accent. Be sure to take into account the texture of the fabric, style and color. The color wheel will help with the latter.
Third rule: we select shoes and accessories to complete the formation of a stylish image. Without these things, the image will not be complete.
Basic women's clothes have their own requirements, namely:
- good quality;
- neutral colors (beige, grey, brown, navy blue, white, black);
- plain cut;
- minimum number of parts;
- by size;
- purchase a thing only ifwe understand that with it you can create four images with the available things in the wardrobe; for example, buying the right cut skirt, the girl mentally understands that she can combine it with a white shirt, jumper, bright top and jacket. The result is four completely different looks that suit different occasions.
At first glance it may seem that this set is a typical teacher. However, it is not. Basic things in a woman's wardrobe should play the first violin, solo. And other elements only accompany.
Of course, it is good to have bright extravagant things in your wardrobe. However, to create a harmonious stylish image, you will have to try. First, you need an absolute aesthetic taste. Secondly, bright things look good in a solo version. They will not be suitable for a secondary role.
The girl's basic things, if picked from scratch, may not be found as quickly as we would like. This process can even take a year. First of all, we look at what is fashionable now. Focus on fashion trends. Secondly, we adapt the trends to our basic wardrobe. Let's figure out what things should underlie it.
Shirt
A straight cut white shirt is a must have in every girl's wardrobe. It can be loose, slightly oversized and opaque. Ideally made of cotton for casual style and silk (highlights the status).
You can add a denim shirt, which is also versatile. It can easily fit into other stylish images. Photos of basic things below.
Skirt
Be sure to choose a pencil skirt.
Basic items can include a denim skirt and a loose fit, in case you are a young active mom.
Pants
Basic items for women's wardrobe necessarily include trousers. They should fit perfectly on you. Therefore, when buying, pay attention to the fit. If you're the owner of slender legs, then you can afford to wear skinny pants 7/8 length (to the bone at the ankle).
This length is recommended for everyone. Straight, tapered, with a normal waistline (and not low) must be required. An obligatory alternative is jeans. If there are trousers with arrows in the wardrobe, then visually in them you will look slimmer.
For daring fashionistas, stylists recommend culottes - cropped wide trousers.
Jacket
Things of the basic wardrobe of a woman (photo below) must include the presence of a jacket and blazer.
If you want the image to look stylish and not boring, then be sure to get it. In addition, you will wear it for more than one year.
A jacket or blazer are basic things that should be loose and elongated. Please note that the fitted and cropped jacket is already out of fashion.
A modern blazer should be elongated, without hard coat hangers. This form is considered universal, as it looks great on boththin girl, and on with appetizing forms. Most often, designers offer a jacket without buttons. It must be worn unbuttoned. If you need to comply with a business dress code, then a neat leather belt can be tied over a blazer.
Bomber is a stylish alternative to a jacket. He is a hit of the latest fashion seasons. In addition, it will make the image more casual.
Jacket-leather jacket
In the list of "Basic things" there must be a leather jacket-leather jacket. She has her own character, which is manifested by straight lines and sharp corners. Always choose a leather jacket with an English collar (two triangles). A stand-up or round collar will add years to your life.
The leather jacket should be as simple as possible, with a minimum amount of decor. The best option is without it at all.
Sweater
Another must have basic wardrobe is a sweater. It should be oversized or straight cut. If you are afraid that such a style will not emphasize the harmony of the figure, then in vain. This style does not radically change the shape of the figure. And tight sweaters are out of fashion.
Before buying, pay attention to the texture of the sweater. A thin texture will not add volume, unlike the coarse knit fashionable this season.
Sweatshirt is a sporty alternative to a sweater. It also has a loose fit with elastic at the bottom. The sweatshirt is perfect for a slender girl with a small chest size. Stylists do not recommend wearing a sweatshirt for overweight girls or with large breasts. A sweatshirt will only emphasize the existing volume.
A turtleneck should also be in the basic wardrobe. Knitted jersey, wool, cashmere are relevant materials today. It is better to wear a tight-fitting turtleneck under the bottom, and on top - a stylish cardigan or jacket. See photos of basic wardrobe items below.
Dress
The basic dress does not have to be sheath shaped. Moreover, this style is not suitable for all body types.
Basic items for women's wardrobe dresses can be of different styles. These include a fashionable shirt dress and a straight cut.
Never wear a blouse underneath a sheath dress. It looks like a teacher. Wear as is: with bare hands.
Tops
Basic items for women's wardrobe must include tops. These are not ordinary t-shirts. They have a presentable stylish look. T-shirts are not always appropriate. There are no relevance issues with the top. In addition, the tops have wide straps, so you can wear without a jacket on top. At the same time, a woman will feel much more confident in a top than in a T-shirt.
Current models of tops: straight loose fit without decor.
Less formal, but essential, the T-shirt. It should be free cut type oversize. It can be easily tucked in at least completely, at least partially with trousers or a skirt. It is fashionable to fill a T-shirt only in front, indicating the waist.
Accessories
A truly stylish wardrobe of a modern girl is difficultpresent without interesting accessories.
The first basic accessory is a shopping bag. This is a voluminous bag that can be carried both on the shoulder and in the hand. It should be concise and reflect your character. A shapeless bag testifies to the soft nature of the owner. If the girl’s goal is to immediately demonstrate a steely iron character, then the straight, clear lines of the bag will help you with this. Smooth rounded lines on the bags are irrelevant.
The second basic accessory is a watch. Universal are those that are made in a masculine style. A voluminous dial, a wide strap - it's all about the chronograph. Thin wrist straps and small numbers are a thing of the past.
The third category includes gloves, a stole, a few universal pieces of jewelry around the neck, earrings and classic sunglasses.
Shoes
As for shoes, there must be demi-season boots and ankle boots. Several pairs of shoes. For example, loafers and pumps with high heels. For the summer - open sandals.
And if you need to complete your look in casual style, then be sure to have sneakers or sneakers in stock.
For the seasons
Seasonal basic wardrobe is selected based on two categories: spring-summer, autumn-winter.
Spring-summer season is always associated with bright saturated colors. The days are getting longer and nature is getting more colorful. Such shades should abound in the wardrobe for thisperiod.
Timeless shades of beige, light grey, blue, pastel pink and peach. And also white, blue and red.
In the autumn-winter season, there should be muted shades. Nature dictates colors by changing its surroundings: a grayish sky and wet asph alt.
Choose "dirty" shades in this period: muted and dark. Dark blue, red, burgundy, black, dark gray, dark brown, brick and blueberry. Photos of basic wardrobe items in winter are below.
In the winter wardrobe, among the basic things, there must be boots or ankle boots, a warm coat or a fur coat.
Typical mistakes
Often a woman cannot achieve the desired stylish look on her own. Even after reading the advice of stylists. Why is this happening? Let's analyze typical mistakes:
- bad quality clothes;
- race for brands;
- blindly copying trends;
- clothes uniformity;
- fear of change.
The last mistake leads the girl to boring and imagery in clothes.
What to add from this year's trends
Fashion trends always bring a certain freshness and new breath. However, you need to be careful with them.
- Skirt-trousers or culottes are suitable only for slender and tall girls. If you're short, wearing culottes can steal a few more inches.
