A minimum of things in the women's wardrobe. Items from the basic wardrobe. How to choose the right jeans

What is a basic wardrobe and what is it for?

Let's start with the fact that basic things are the basis of your wardrobe. Without this solid foundation, it will be very difficult for you to form your images.

The basic wardrobe consists of basic things. Basic things are things that are simple in cut, neutral in color (based on the color type), fit the figure, are universal when combined, suitable for any occasion, perfectly complemented by accessories of a stylish and fashionable group, allow you to always look different.

If your basic wardrobe is properly shaped, you will make others think that your closet with things is unrealistic! You can easily create a different impression by simply changing the details and adding accessories to the ensembles.

What should the basic wardrobe consist of?

Blouse-shirt. There should be at least two such shirts in your wardrobe. If you work in an office or a bank, then you may have more of these shirts. One of them must be white, and the shade of white should be selected based on your color type. Pure white color adorns the appearance of not many women. This is a versatile wardrobe item that is perfectly completed with other things and is easily complemented by accessories. For example, it is worth adding a bright neck scarf and your image will sparkle with other colors!

Pencil skirt. You have no idea how many sets you can create with this seemingly completely simple classic skirt. A pencil skirt should be chosen according to the type of figure and height. For some, a looser pencil skirt is suitable, for someone up to the knee or just below the knee. But I'm still in favor of this skirt not being too tight, then it will become an absolutely universal thing for any occasion.

Jacket. A basic wardrobe cannot be imagined without a women's jacket. After all, this thing will complement any ensemble, help you always look stylish and elegant. Just imagine its complete set with a skirt, trousers, a dress and even jeans! The jacket is chosen according to the type of figure. It can be straight cut, semi-fitted and fitted. The color of the jacket should match your color palette. It can be dark blue, grey, brown or black. The main thing is that it suits you.

Dress. The dress must be in the basic wardrobe of any woman. That's just contrary to the opinions of many, it does not always have to be black! A little black dress is, of course, a classic, but black, like pure white, is not for everyone. As a basic dress, a sheath dress, an A-line dress, an A-line dress can be perfect. The main thing is that it suits you in shape and color. Such a thing can perfectly fit into an office dress code, and if you replace your everyday bag with a clutch, you will get an almost ready-made evening look.

Pants. Dress pants are a wardrobe staple. The style of trousers can be straight, tapered to the bottom or flared from the hip. Everything, again, depends on your type of figure and height. The color of the trousers is preferably neutral, suitable for your color type. It doesn't have to be black. Let's say dark blue, gray, brown.

Jeans. The most practical and comfortable thing in the wardrobe. What I want to say about jeans is that you should not give preference to such fashionable leggings, jeggings, and also “skinny”. I would say that it is difficult to call them a basic thing, since they are generally contraindicated for some types of figures. Yes, and you need to be able to wear such models correctly. Nevertheless, they can be attributed to the group of fashionable or stylish things. They are very difficult to set up. But many, in pursuit of fashion, simply buy these models without exception.

As a basic model, you should pay attention to straight-cut jeans. They will be versatile and functional. Color - dark blue or indigo. It is worth mentioning the uselessness of decorative elements. Your jeans should be absolutely plain.


When choosing jeans, do not save! This thing will serve you for more than one year, and, therefore, let it be of high quality. Jeans made of poor material immediately give out their cheapness and low quality. You will not get any pleasure from wearing such a thing.

Cardigan. Something you will definitely love! After all, the cardigan is comfortable, functional and can complement any look. You will always look stylish wearing a cardigan over a dress, with jeans or a skirt, with various decorations and accessories. A cardigan is a universal thing for any season. Choose models that suit your body type: loose or with a belt, long or mid-thigh. The choice of cardigans is very diverse.

Cloak. Since the weather in Russia is cool, outerwear must be in the basic wardrobe. The classic trench coat will be a win-win option for you. It goes with any ensemble and always looks stylish. Wearing a trench coat, you will convince others that you have impeccable taste!


Coat. It's hard to imagine a modern woman's wardrobe without a coat. It must be made from quality material. Ideally preferably wool or cashmere. There are spring models, there are winter ones. The color palette is wide - dark blue, gray, black, beige. But for a basic thing, too bright colors are not recommended. Remember that the color should suit you.

Bag. A bag for a basic wardrobe is preferable in a classic shape. When choosing a bag, you should consider your scale, but as a base bag, you can choose a medium-sized bag with a minimum amount of decor. It should be very functional, not bulky and complement any of your image. You can always take it without breaking your head whether it will fit your outfit.

Boots. In the basic wardrobe, there must be high-quality long boots. Preference should be given to black boots with a stable heel, with a comfortable shoe. Forget about leather substitutes and varnish. You can choose suede boots. Also forget about all kinds of decor: buckles, decorative zippers, fringe, sequins. This is not for the basic wardrobe. Choose stylish laconic shoes and you will definitely win!

Shoes. For a basic wardrobe, black pumps are perfect. They will fit into any set. Choose a heel that is stable and comfortable for you. Pay attention to the block. In addition to black pumps, there must be beige shoes. The shade of beige should match your skin tone. This magical piece of clothing visually lengthens your legs! Material - suede or genuine leather. As in the case of boots, a leather substitute is not allowed here.

I hope this article will help you understand what things must be in your wardrobe. If you have any difficulties with the formation of a basic wardrobe, you can sign up for an individual consultation with a stylist.

If you need help building a base group for your wardrobe, sign up for an audit of your current items. After it, you will have a clear understanding of what things you need, where you can buy them and how not to make a mistake with the choice of color and style.

The relevance of compiling a basic wardrobe is found, perhaps, in girls at the moment when they get settled or change jobs. The concept of basic things is still inherently connected with the activity on which we spend most of our time. The basic wardrobe for a modern girl today is not only a series of things in which you can come to the office, basic things shape the style. Simply put, the base is all the same must-haves, but only trendy and seasonal, and those that do not go out of fashion over the years. By the way, I already wrote about the basic wardrobe for milking girls of the winter color type. Today I will tell you about the rules for creating your own basic wardrobe. Happy viewing!

Rules for the formation of a basic wardrobe for a modern girl

When compiling your own basic wardrobe, every modern girl must adhere to several rules. Firstly, basic things, as a rule, are worn for more than one season, so you should choose only high-quality clothes. Secondly, the “base” should not reflect any seasonal trends, which means that things will be concise, without any extra details and finishes. Thirdly, all basic things must be combinatorial with each other, i.e. match with each other. Fourthly, the color scheme of the basic things is important, which we will talk about in the next paragraph. Fifthly, the choice of things before the formation of the base directly depends on the field of activity. Agree, it is much more important for a civil servant to have business style items in stock, but for a rock star, leather things flashing about his status are more relevant. And, finally, sixthly, is it worth mentioning that basic clothes should fit perfectly on the figure, emphasize all the advantages.

Basic wardrobe colors

You can not walk all year round only in black or light-colored things. That is why the basic wardrobe of any modern girl can be divided into summer and winter. As you yourself understand, light shades will prevail in the first, and dark shades in the second. From light shades it is worth giving preference to things of white, beige, peach color. The winter base is predominantly dark gray, blue, brown and black things. Agree, it would be boring to wear only such colors every day. That is why there are basic-bright shades that should suit your color type. You can read more about appearance color types in my blog in the Shopaholic Tips section. Basic bright colors in the wardrobe of a modern girl can be found in sportswear, accessories, and prints. The ideal combination in the image is a mixture of all basic colors: light, dark and bright (acceptance). By the way, one of these types of base shades can be your hair or even lipstick.
The color scheme for 4 color types of a basic wardrobe for a modern girl is in the photo below.

Basic wardrobe list

There are things that certainly have a place to be in the basic wardrobe of a modern girl. And even if your work does not have a strict dress code or you do not need to dress in a certain style at all, sooner or later the moment will come when you will look for exactly the basic thing in your closet. Here is my must have list for a modern girl:
1. White shirt in a classic silhouette.
2. Trench coat
3. T-shirt with thin straps
4. Polo shirt or just a short-sleeved T-shirt
5. Jacket
6. Pencil skirt
7. Dark blue jeans without fraying and holes
8. Evening dress
9. Laconic sheath dress
10. Pants (can be shortened)
11. Cardigan
For a girl, the following shoe models are also needed:
1. Boats
2. Ballerinas
3. Keds
Three bags must be present in the basic wardrobe - light, dark and for evening wear. Bags must be bought leather and high quality. Of the accessories, you must have a string of pearls, a watch.
For you, below is a selection of photos of a basic wardrobe for a modern girl.



















When creating a basic wardrobe, any modern girl should remember that the base should be presented from quality items. You may not feel the need for it, but believe me, the basic things will make your wardrobe "vital" in any situation.

I'm still wandering through the back alleys of my brain, trying to come up with a convenient and understandable blog post about the vast topic of basic wardrobe. I wanted to continue the tactic of itemized enumeration and, following the bags, gut the shoe shelf. But I realized that before that it would not hurt to dedicate one or two posts to excellent tediousness to more global issues. If only because they will arise constantly. So let's better deal with them right away and live in peace.

One of the main phobias about the basic wardrobe is related to the colors of things in it. I have even gotten used to almost every conversation on the subject of the base with a promise that it will not be all gray. I won’t draw feathers in rhinestones there either, but I can guarantee one thing: you can make the basic wardrobe of even the most “gray” color tone moderately cheerful. In short, today about universal shades.

It was not in vain that I mentioned the color type. Bayan, but still once again: the basic wardrobe differs from person to person not only in the list of his personal "universal" things and styles, but also in color scheme. Therefore, alas, there is no single list of shades that each of us can rely on when compiling our base. And such googling illustrations of the basic wardrobe are an absolute evil for the majority:

The other extreme is a literal understanding of "one's own" color at the base of the base. Because this, for example, is also not a basic wardrobe:

It's just a wardrobe capsule created around one particular color. And such a concentrated approach will inevitably lead to an unchanging daily total look. Every day like this - as if bust:

Therefore, to create at the same time a diverse and not boring base, you can and need use almost most of the personal color palette. And she, for a moment, covers all the colors of the rainbow in general with a correction for the color type of a particular person. Here, for example, is a more or less expanded palette of a girl of a dark, neutrally warm color type:

Everyone has such a palette, of course, will have their own. But this fifty-odd shades, in principle, is quite enough to understand the picture of your wardrobe future. At the same time, there is enough for everything: for accents, and for the background, and for the base - even for feathers with rhinestones, it will remain. The point is small: to select in a pile those universal shades that can serve as a basic wardrobe.

I must say right away that the base above is not very typical, because it was compiled for deep coloring in a very creative style. But in any case, from the palette to the basic wardrobe, I usually drag between 50 and 70 percent of the docher shades, depending on the individual. And it's not conventionally gray, black or white. I take a little bit of everyone - but only those that pass the test with my three favorite rules of #hardest-dropout.

So. Rule number one: do not allow white and black to the competition

Okay, I screwed up a bit. Bright and cold color typesmay consider h pure textbook white and black as base colors. Actually, because these are two very bright and very cold colors that are able to kill the appearance of the vast majority of the Slavic population. After all, many of us, as you know, are distinguished by natural softness of varying degrees of severity.

But this is just closer to the second rule, so let's move on.

Rule number two: base shades are the most complex and incomprehensible

This, it seems to me, is a very logical and direct golden rule. The meaning of the basic wardrobe is the ability to easily combine into outfits with absolutely any, even your most extravagant acquisitions. In our today's case - under-tucked in the color plan.

It's only on beautiful street style pictures that under the most incredible thing there is another perfect incredible thing - and together they look like a great set. In our harsh reality, at best, you have to unplanned to spend money on a "companion", which most often turns out to be completely unsuitable for any other use in the wardrobe. At worst - hysteria in front of the closet on the topic "nothing to wear" or put on as is. All options are impassable.

Best of all, it is complex shades that cope with the task of basic things. That is, those in which several colors are already initially involved. Because such "incomprehensible" shades will somehow overlap with any bright or accent colors of your outfit. And therefore - to create a harmonious inflorescence that is pleasing to the eye without any mental effort on your part.

Here I will make it clearer on the example of specific shades. In the top row, I placed a simple shade of red, which was unsuccessful as a base, and its more versatile, convenient counterparts below.

For myself in the store, I usually recognize the basic shades like this: if you can’t immediately name the color or something starts to spin on the tongue with two or three dashes (gray-brown-crimson), then the shade is what you need. We take!

For the sake of experiment, you can now imagine your most incongruous item from your wardrobe and "wear" it with something from complex shades, suitable for your color type. Well, how can you go out to people?

Rule number three: if you don’t know what to choose, buy a golden dozen

This lifeline in the form of twelve shades that go to the vast majority of people has long been replicated on the Internet. Actually, I myself once stumbled upon it on the net, but whoever doubted did not believe it. Therefore, she repeatedly ran on herself and voluntary test subjects. Works. Here is the magic layout:

I specifically brought shades with names, because the color rendition of the screens of our gadgets is better to shoot yourself right away. We definitely won’t understand each other and we’ll all get confused. And the names of the shades will explain a lot. Because the secret secret of universal shades is in their complexity and simultaneous muffledness. That is, in fact, these shades are formed mixing different shades plus adding gray. Here’s the garbage I toiled last night, for example, dismembered the color of the sea wave from the diagram above in Photoshop:

Look at its composition in the spectrum and the level of gray content. Look, gray not only knows how to muffle any bright color, but at the same time brings it half a step closer to the opposite shade on the color wheel (and such pairs are known to create the most curious combinations). In general, all this makes universal colors truly basic and suitable for all color types.

By the way, for complete happiness, my favorite bronze shade is missing here. And he, too, is such a bridge between different metals, combining all their qualities to the state of universality. Remember, I talked about this last time?

Well, actually, and all my color conclusions for today. If you want, you can now create a color base for yourself at your leisure. If something doesn't work, whistle. Let's figure it out.

And I'll remind you about beauty quest who is on his own head. I happily catch beautiful painted faces in a box and will do it until Tuesday 17 November. Come on, who has not yet decided on a make-up, go for it. It’s Friday night, there’s a reason to create a trendy face :) Well, where to create it, take a picture there. And if you take a picture, then send it already.

Nothing to wear is the main headache for most women. A lot of the same type of outfits or a chaotic accumulation of fashion trends that do not match with each other is a frequent picture in the closet of modern girls.

And everything from the fact that there is no basic wardrobe - classic universal things that can help out in any situation and serve as the basis for fashionable experiments. The basic things in the wardrobe do not bother, blend well with each other and do not go out of fashion. This is a great investment that will allow you to look stylish and elegant without spending crazy amounts and just complementing the base with the trendy details of the season.

Stylists recommend ratio 70/30, that is, 70% of the wardrobe is reserved for simple, basic things, and 30% for bright, fashionable novelties. As a rule, the basic wardrobe of a modern girl consists of and is most consistent with and.

How to make a basic wardrobe and what is included in the top of the most versatile things? The answers are in this article.

Basic wardrobe for a woman

Deciding to organize your wardrobe - 13 components worthy to be in the closet of any woman:

  • light cotton blouse, reminiscent of the style of a men's shirt. Choose a fitted or semi-fitted silhouette, from materials - stretch cotton is preferable. The snow-white color is not for everyone, so choose a blouse that suits yours - pearl or ivory. Remember - the blouse should not be noticeably lighter than the shade of the tooth enamel.
  • classic dark pencil skirt with a high waistline should fit well on the figure and taper slightly towards the bottom, visually adjusting the silhouette. Length - from just below the knee to a little higher (preferably no more than a palm). The degree of fit of the skirt depends on the features of the figure - choose the one in which you will look especially advantageous.
  • The basic wardrobe of a modern business woman cannot be imagined without an elegant trouser suit black color. The cut of the jacket is a classic pull-fit, with a natural line of the shoulders. Pants - classic straight or slightly tapered, with an arrow. It is very important that the suit fits well (use the services of an atelier to achieve a perfect fit). The universal black color will allow you to combine the suit with a blouse for work and with an elegant top for an evening event.
  • Cardigan or jumper beige, gray or black - one more mast-have versatile wardrobe. A turtleneck of similar shades will not be superfluous. They will go with everything: trousers, skirts, jeans, any shirts. The V-neck of the jumper is the most advantageous, but if a round neckline suits you, choose it.
  • Without jeans it is impossible to imagine today's life, as well as the basic wardrobe of a modern girl. Straight classic dark blue models without scuffs and noticeable details are the most versatile thing. Do not skimp on jeans - a solid, dense fabric with a small percentage of lycra and a cut that suits you should emphasize the dignity of the figure, hiding the flaws.
  • classic sheath dress black (the famous "little black dress") - should still be in every woman's closet. It is better if there are two such dresses - discreet black or gray for work and brighter in color and cut - for special occasions. Compromise - a black cocktail dress with a laconic cut, appropriate anytime and anywhere.
  • Knitted t-shirts and tops is never enough. Three necessary options - a T-shirt with sleeves, a white or black T-shirt with straps and your favorite vest.
  • How can you not do without a classic double-breasted raincoat with lapels and a belt - trench coat(trench coat). Universal colors are black, beige or khaki. This useful purchase is the leader of the off-season wardrobe and never goes out of style.
  • classic cashmere coat pastel shades (beige to camel) will stay in your wardrobe for a long time. Provided a laconic cut and the length and silhouette that suits you. Short girls should not choose a coat longer than the middle of the knee, maxi length - only for tall ones.
  • An indispensable classic accessory - bright silk scarf size 70×70 centimeters with an interesting print. The main thing is that the color scheme suits your color type and “refreshes” your face. It has many uses - as a light scarf, a headdress, an addition to a handbag. An exquisite pashmina scarf is a priceless purchase and a great addition to many looks.
  • Quality comfortable shoes- perhaps the main item of expenditure. A smart purchase - classic laconic stiletto pumps in black and flesh-beige. They will go with almost any ensemble you create. For relaxation and walks, soft sneakers and ballet flats made of suede or matte leather will not be superfluous. The color is still neutral.
  • An important component of the basic wardrobe is at least two bags. A voluminous, capacious bag of a universal color for every day and a small clutch on a chain for an evening out. If possible, it is better to add a medium-sized image bag for important meetings and business negotiations, as well as a summer bag. Remember, a black bag in the summer is bad manners, so choose a white beige or color model.
  • Several necessary accessories- a watch of a laconic form, aviator glasses (a classic form that suits the majority) and two belts - a simple black and a colored one, with an interesting clasp. A long string of natural or artificial pearls of good quality is a current classic. You can add a massive cocktail ring, an interesting bracelet, an exquisite brooch to the minimum program. Jewelry can be completely replaced with good and stylish jewelry.

The basic wardrobe of a modern girl is in front of you. You should not save on it, because these things will fully pay off, having served you more than one season.

Let's decide on the shore: there is no basic wardrobe for everyone without exception and for all occasions. A white shirt, a black pencil skirt, black pumps and a square scarf, if they are a standard set, are only for an average secretary in any field of activity where extremely conservative, read, archaic, views on life and wardrobe prevail. It is easy to guess that the second stylistic decision of a young lady with such a base will be a black trouser suit with the same white shirt and stilettos, which in case of tired legs will be replaced with ballet flats, regardless of the size and characteristics of their owner's foot.

At one of my workshops, a woman of indeterminate age approached me. Her parameters were far from those of Victoria Beckham (why this is important, you will understand a little later), but her figure was attractive. She was dressed in a black sheath dress on the palm below the knee and lacquer pumps, and in her hands she flaunted a bag that received the common noun "Birkin type" among the people. She proudly declared that she finally put together a basic wardrobe in the best traditions of some fashion gurus, but could not understand what her personal style was. Needless to say, the twenty-five-year-old girl looked at all 45? That the black color did not decorate her features at all, but rather erased them with an eraser, emphasizing the “youthful” imperfections of the skin? That dramatic shoes and a classic brunette bob exacerbated the effect of a "sultry woman - a poet's dream"?

She admitted that she was annoyed at the wasted efforts, money, time, youth, as well as the lost individuality.

To prevent this from happening to you, remember: the base is the basis of the wardrobe, and everyone should have it. The specific set varies depending on age, social status, lifestyle, size and texture of appearance. The basic wardrobe is not universal things that suit everyone without exception and are equally appropriate in any life situation. They should be universal only for you and the life period that you live. Universal for all - faceless.

Also, there is no investment "for the ages." Exceptions can only be unique, rare and legendary branded items. To assemble them into a stylish, up-to-date image is within the power of people with a developed aesthetic taste, well-versed in the field of fashion trends and fashion history. Any things tend not only to wear out, but also morally obsolete. And the "eternal classic", in the understanding of the majority - a business suit and a cashmere coat, will not be an exception. A black and white striped pantsuit bought in the 90s, in 2018, will look old-fashioned for a number of reasons, and the fashion for this era will not save it. Everything is changing: cut features, fabric compositions, color schemes, new prints appear. Finally, we are also changing. So let's leave the idea of ​​"investing for the ages" and start investing wisely in your appearance today. Believe me, with this approach, tomorrow you will feel great.

The basic wardrobe should be modern. A modern basic wardrobe - color. Black, gray and beige, as the basis of the wardrobe, are outdated. In addition, not everyone manages to "save face" in such colors.

In addition, you must clearly understand that the new basic wardrobe is not specific, must-have items. If a trouser suit is on the list, this does not mean that it should be the same for everyone: a lawyer is most likely to suit a business suit made of good-quality fabrics without unnecessary details in restrained elegant shades, for an actress - an extravagant version of velvet or jacquard in bright colors, and for it - girl - avant-garde cut double-breasted jacket oversize with wide plaid trousers. Please note that all three suits have every right to be in the wardrobe of one woman and be used on weekdays, on a holiday and on a relaxed Sabbath day.

I have collected 30 cases that will help you create a basic wardrobe for a modern woman. Sunglasses were not included in this list, since it is possible to give general advice in such a matter only in theory, but in practice - “well, the good old aviators don’t suit everyone.” In addition, all units of shoes in the basic wardrobe must fit all sets and be interchangeable. I also specifically included more items so that you can ignore items that are not close to you without compromising the quality and functionality of the wardrobe.

The main rule: there should be three or four tops on one bottom. Thus, with only one trousers and one skirt, you will get not two sets of clothes, but from 8 to 16.

Before each item, boldly put the definition of "relevant" and remember that the choice of model is yours:

Coat

You definitely can't do without this wardrobe item. Current models are oversize, crombie, chesterfield, trench coat. Buying a couple of models at once is not forbidden.

Angelina Jolie in a light coat

Light coat

A light coat is an indispensable basic item for early autumn, late spring and cool summer. The most versatile and elegant model - without a collar and buttons, with a rounded shallow neckline, straight cut, two palms above or below the knee, with or without lining. Despite its lightness, the coat should be made of high-quality durable materials that hold their shape well. Give preference to light or bright shades, interesting prints and textures. The “summer coat” category includes all variations on the kimono theme, as well as quality cardigans, if you just can’t part with them.

Cloak

The most current model is the trench coat. However, this is not only the legendary Burberry, its sharp angles, length, respectable color and conservative attitude cannot adorn everyone. The trench coat is now worn to the floor, midi and just below the knee, flared or straight, classic and bright colors, made of cotton, leather, jeans or silk. If you don't like the idea of ​​a trench coat, pay attention to more feminine models with a rounded collar and slack closure, swallow pockets, and a small vent. This model can be worn with or without a belt.

The principle of choice has not changed. If it's not yours, ignore it. If you do not know what it is - come to my master class.

Sweater (winter and summer)

A model of a free (that is, not tight) laconic form, plain, of any color that suits you is suitable. Practice shows that the colors that "love" one woman are perfectly combined with each other. For winter and off-season, choose warm, possibly with braids, for spring-summer - from light, but not loose knitwear.

Sweatshirt (winter, summer)

Here you can also roam. Restrained monochromatic models of delicious or watercolor colors are suitable for conservative people, daring sports colors for progressive ones, creative ones with a pop art pattern or loud slogans and catchy inscriptions.

Shirt

Boiled white I recommend for people with dark skin and a flawless smile. This means that the color of your teeth and the whites of your eyes must be competitive with your shirt. The basic version is a masculine type, without decor, “their own” color, according to the principle of choosing a T-shirt. In your wardrobe, you have every right to also have a checkered shirt (choose individually) and a denim shirt.

Cara Delevingne in a shirt

Chiara Ferragni in a T-shirt

T-shirt

The same principle of choice as in the case of a sweatshirt. The most basic option is a straight-cut model, not tight-fitting, keeping its shape. It can be white, gray, blue, lime, orange, pink, lavender and other colors.

Sleeveless top

Silk, chiffon or mixed fabrics. The choice of model and color is yours, the main rule is as few details and decor as possible.

Linen top

Without lace! Can be worn under a jacket, light coat, bomber jacket, raincoat, and also over a T-shirt.

Blazer

Classic blue double-breasted with metal buttons, copper, brass, silver, gold, with anchors or heraldry. It is the fittings that distinguishes the blazer from other members of the jacket family. Has the right to be any other deep color.

Kate Moss in a blazer

Julianne Moore in a casual jacket

Casual jacket or sports jacket

Any jacket that can be worn to the grocery store, to the child at school or for a walk on a Sunday. It can be velvet, in a fun pattern or print.

Jeans

Jeans are all about quality and fit. Choose models with a minimum amount of elastane in the composition, which keep their shape well and miraculously collect the figure. Low rise is losing its position in fashion, high-waisted models are relevant, shortened and straight, or shortened and flared. And yes, jeans have every right to have not only dark blue, but also light gray, graphite, blue.

Gigi Hadid in jeans

Olivia Culpo in culottes

Culottes or any other trendy pants

Strange cropped "pants" came into fashion a few seasons ago and are not going to go out of it. The main rule is to choose a complementary length.

Skirt-modification on the theme of "pencil"

I conjure: do not buy a "black" pencil! Give preference to current models with an interesting cut or unexpected drapery, with an asymmetric hem or a wrap.

Celine Dion in a skirt

King Philip VI and Queen Letizia in a pleated skirt

"Flying" skirt

Everything that flies, flows, shimmers, leaves a train will do. A pleated skirt is a great choice.

Pantsuit

As I said, choose the option that suits you. This applies not only to the figure, but also to the event to which you are going to wear it.

loafers

A pair of loafers goes well not only with pantsuits, but also with simple, slightly cropped jeans, a T-shirt and a casual jacket. Considering how many such combinations can be added, the versatility of such shoes can not be overestimated.
