Almost every woman gets out of bed in the morning with a reluctance to choose a new and interesting image. I would like not to waste time, but to get dressed quickly and leave my home while feeling comfortable all day long. It is not for nothing that our grandmothers came up with the expression: "Both in the feast and in the world."
Every woman is constantly "kept watch" by an evil mod-draftsman, whose name is "nothing to wear." What to do when the whole closet is really clogged with “clothes”, but really there is nothing to put on? There is a solution: make a list of basic things. It is in this category that things will never become obsolete and will always be in trend. In this case, one of the basic things can be a win-win one hundred percent stylish images. Such things are like “second skin” is yours. Not a single women's wardrobe can be called full-fledged if there are no these 50 basic things. Choose the main ones. And before that, we’ll figure out what an intriguing basic wardrobe is. Interesting? Go!
Basic wardrobe, a list of things. What it is?
The basis of any style is the basic things that should be in the wardrobe of every woman. Thanks to the stylish successful combination and bright interesting accessories, you can create your own unique style.
Analyze 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, it is unlikely that a trench coat or pencil skirt will come in handy. Rather, the opposite. 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, to you as a native. In this case, a business suit is unlikely to be needed.
Second step: pay attention to the peculiarity of your figure.
Third step: remember in which shades of colors you look excellent.
Understand what are the basic things in the wardrobe? The base is a universal clothing, the "foundation" of each women's wardrobe. This is not a random list of things, as it might seem at first glance. Basic things 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 stupor in the head when choosing: what to combine with.
Capsule 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. This list contains fashionable stylish trends. A capsule is a ready-made option that does not need to be combined and supplemented with anything. The things inside this capsule are already perfectly matched to each other. At the same time, it is difficult even to “embed” any element in the finished capsule. Take and dress!
A basic wardrobe includes individual items. 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 wardrobe.
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 with anything!
Typically, 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 woman’s figure and her lifestyle.
How to make the right wardrobe: tips
Stylists recommend that you follow the basic rules when creating a fashionable image. So, the basic rules:
- details in the image should complement each other and be integral;
- pay attention to the proportions of the figure to emphasize the advantages;
- the constituent elements of the image must be combined in form, otherwise the disharmony of the set will result;
- set accents skillfully and accurately so that the main style stands out;
- it is better to combine color shades taking into account the color type of a woman, so she will look brighter.
If you adhere to these five rules, then it will be easy to create a stylish image. Moreover, age-related features have nothing to do with it. You can look stylish in both 20 and 60. The main rule is to choose what is comfortable for you. Of course, follow fashion trends, but don't blindly chase them. In order to develop a personal sense of style, it is enough just to observe modern design decisions.
Another unspoken rule: create a basic wardrobe taking into account the age of the woman. Of course, in 20 years there are no special restrictions. You can easily experiment with length, styles, color, and print.
But closer to 40, the length of the “mini” and very tight-fitting things will be bad manners.
After 60 years, a woman can afford to get real pleasure from expensive fabrics. The priority is the quality of clothing.
Creating the perfect base wardrobe
The first rule: we determine the main thing that will be an accent and set the style direction of your wardrobe. Be sure to consider the time of year and the event that this item can be worn on.
The second rule: we select the remaining 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. With the latter, the color wheel will help.
The 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 things have their own requirements, namely:
- good quality;
- neutral colors (beige, gray, brown, navy, white, black);
- simple cut;
- minimum number of parts;
- to size;
- we get a thing only if we 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, a jumper, a bright top and a jacket. As a result, there are four completely different images that will suit different cases.
At first glance, this set may seem like a typical teacher. However, it is not. Basic things in a woman’s wardrobe should play the first violin, solo. And the other elements are only to accompany.
Of course, it is good to have bright extravagant things in your wardrobe. However, in order 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 basic things of the girl, if selected from scratch, may not be found as quickly as we would like. This process can take even a year. First of all, we look at what is now fashionable. Focus on fashion trends. Secondly, we adapt the trends to our basic wardrobe. Let’s figure out what things should be at its core.
Shirt
A white shirt with a straight cut is a must have in every girl’s wardrobe. It can be free, a bit oversized and opaque. Ideally, made of cotton in casual style and silk (emphasizes status).
You can add a denim shirt, which is also universal. It can easily be fit into other stylish looks. Photos of basic things below.
Skirt
Be sure to choose a pencil skirt.
Basic things can include a denim skirt and a loose cut, in case you are a young active mom.
Trousers
Basic things for a women's wardrobe must include trousers. They should ideally sit on you. Therefore, when buying, pay attention to the fit. If you have slim legs, you can afford to wear 7/8 skinny trousers (to the bone on the ankle).
This length is recommended for everyone. Straight, narrowed, with a normal waistline (and not with an understated one) must be mandatory. A must-have alternative is jeans. If there are pants with arrows in the wardrobe, then visually in them you will look slimmer.
For bold fashionistas, stylists recommend culottes - cropped wide trousers.
Jacket
Things of a woman’s basic wardrobe (photo below) must include a jacket and a blazer.
If you want the image to look stylish and not boring, then be sure to purchase it. In addition, you will wear it for more than one year.
A jacket or a blazer are basic things that should be loose-fitting and elongated. Please note: the fitted and shortened jacket is already out of fashion.
A modern blazer should be elongated, without hard shoulders. This form is considered universal, as it looks great both on a slim girl, and on with mouth-watering forms. Most often, designers offer a jacket without buttons. It must be worn unbuttoned. If you need to comply with a business dress code, you can tie a neat leather belt over the blazer.
A bomber jacket is a stylish alternative to a jacket. He is a hit of the latest fashion seasons. In addition, he will make the image more casual.
Jacket
In the list of "Basic things" must necessarily be a leather jacket-jacket. She has her own character, which is manifested by straight lines and sharp corners. Always choose a jacket with an English collar (from two triangles). A stand-up collar or rounded will add you a few years.
The jacket should be as simple as possible, with a minimal amount of decor. The best option is without it at all.
Pullover
Another must have basic wardrobe - 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. Such a style does not fundamentally change the shape of the figure. And tight-fitting sweaters have long gone out of fashion.
Before buying, pay attention to the texture of the sweater. The thin texture will not add volume, unlike the coarse knitting fashionable this season.
Sweatshirt - a sports alternative to a sweater. It is also free cut with elastic at the bottom. Sweatshirt is perfect for a slim girl with a small breast size. Stylists do not recommend putting on sweatshirts for girls who are overweight or with large breasts. Sweatshirt will only emphasize the available volume.
A turtleneck must also be in the base wardrobe. Knitted knitwear, wool, cashmere - relevant materials today. It is better to wear a tight-fitting turtleneck under the bottom, and on top - a stylish cardigan or jacket. See the photos of basic wardrobe items below.
Dress
The basic dress does not have to be in the form of a “case”. Moreover, this style is not suitable for all types of figures.
The basic things for a women's wardrobe dresses can be of different styles. These include a fashionable dress-shirt and a straight cut.
Never wear a blouse under the bottom of a sheath dress. It looks like a teacher. Wear it as it is: with bare hands.
Tops
Basic things for a women's wardrobe necessarily 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 it without a jacket on top. At the same time, a woman in the top will feel much more confident than in a T-shirt.
Actual models of tops: straight free cut without decor.
A less formal option, but necessary is a t-shirt. It should be loose cut like oversize. It can be easily refilled at least completely, at least partially with trousers or a skirt. It is fashionable to tuck a t-shirt only in front, indicating the waist.
Accessories
It is difficult to imagine a truly stylish wardrobe of a modern girl without interesting accessories.
The first basic accessory is a shopping bag. This is a bulk bag that can be worn on the shoulder and in the hand. It should be concise and reflect your character. The shapeless bag testifies to the soft nature of the owner. If the girl’s goal is to immediately demonstrate the steel iron character, then the straight, clear lines of the bag will help you with this. Smooth rounded lines on 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.
In the third category, there are gloves, a stole, several universal jewelry on the neck, earrings and classic sunglasses.
Footwear
As for shoes, there must be demi-season boots and ankle boots. A few pairs of shoes. For example, loafers and high-heeled pumps. In the summer - open sandals.
And if you need to complete the look in a casual style, be sure to have sneakers or sneakers in stock.
For seasons
The seasonal basic wardrobe is selected taking into account two categories: spring-summer, autumn-winter.
The spring-summer season is always associated with bright saturated colors. The day lengthens, and nature becomes more colorful. These shades should abound in the wardrobe for this period.
Always relevant shades of beige, light gray, blue, pastel pink and peach. As well as white, blue and red.
In the autumn-winter season should be muted shades. Nature dictates colors by changing its surroundings: a grayish sky and wet asphalt.
We 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 must be boots or ankle boots, a warm coat or a fur coat.
Common mistakes
Often, a woman does not manage to independently achieve the desired stylish image. Even after the advice of stylists. Why it happens? We will analyze common mistakes:
- poor quality of clothes;
- brand race;
- blind copying of trends;
- uniformity of the wardrobe;
- fear to change.
The last mistake leads the girl to dullness and imagery in clothes.
What to add from the trends of this year
Fashion trends always bring a certain freshness and new breath. However, you need to be “friendly” with them carefully.
- Skirt-trousers or culottes are suitable only for slim and tall girls. If you are not tall, then putting on culottes, you can "steal" a few more centimeters.

It seems to be a small detail. But it is the details that create the uniqueness of style. Don't be afraid to experiment with vibrant colors.
