Autumn is the time to thank summer for the wonderful warm days and the time to hide light sandals and ballet flats away in the closet. But you should not be sad, because with each coming season we get the opportunity to put on new outfits, build our own individual style in clothes and challenge fashion, walking at its speed or even overtaking fashion trends.
How do you start the audit of the contents of the closet? Of course, from the basic wardrobe. As you know, these are basic things that are perfectly combined with each other, leaving the problem of “nothing to wear” by the way side. And yet, you can be capricious, but let it be doubts in the realm of accessories – this or that scarf, a fashionable scarf or hat, boots or light, seductively tight-fitting boots.
In the selection of things for a basic wardrobe, you need to be guided, of course, by your lifestyle – who you work with, how you have fun, where you go on weekends. Of course, these should be things that are suitable in size, that fit you well, and that you are comfortable in. It is comfort that is the foundation for self-confidence, which means that you need to take good care of your loved ones.
Autumn Rainbow
The colors of the basic wardrobe are black, white, gray and beige. It is unlikely that anyone will argue with the fact that they are perfectly combined with each other and other colors. Yellow, orange, red, burgundy, brown colors are also great for autumn. So, burgundy boots go amazingly with brown trousers, and a yellow sweater goes with a black skirt and boots. These are very lively, life-affirming combinations that will never let you look like a gray mouse, even if it is pouring rain, dampness and fog outside.
Warming Up and Fashionable
The must-have of the autumn season is, of course, a coat. It is warm and perfect for working days when you have to get to work, and for walking around the city. The coat looks great with trousers, a skirt, and also jeans. Choose a coat in a base color, and it will go well with any color of clothing.
The second thing from outerwear that does not interfere in the wardrobe is a short jacket or jacket. Universal material – leather. A leather jacket or jacket is versatile and will suit any style and outfit. They will perfectly complement both an urban casual look and an evening outfit of a little black dress and high heeled shoes. You can wear them to work wearing a classic skirt and stiletto boots.
Autumn Shoes
From footwear, it is recommended to purchase at least one pair of boots and one pair of boots (ankle boots).
If it is possible to expand the wardrobe with several pairs of ankle boots for women, then let one pair be a neutral color to match with absolutely any clothes, and the second pair should be bright (for example, orange, red, purple, etc.).
Ankle boots are good with both classic trousers and jeans, as well as skirts of any style. They can be made an “equal” member of the outfit or made the accent of your image. Ankle boots should be combined with outerwear or the color of the bag. If the ankle boots are bright, it is recommended to purchase accessories to match – gloves, belts, scarves, etc.
Half a Dozen Essentials
For autumn, the necessary wardrobe items will be the following:
Sweater and turtleneck. You can’t do without these things on cold days. They go great with skirts, trousers, and jeans. At least one piece should be in a base color (preferably black) to go with the rest of your wardrobe.
Cardigan. Knitted cardigans also go well with warm skirts, jeans and even a short knitted dress. The cardigan can be worn to the office and on a visit. And given that he is very warm, you are unlikely to want to part with him for a long time.
Warm skirt. A short skirt or a piece of medium length made of wool, jacquard or tweed must be in the autumn wardrobe. Original options – skirts in a narrow strip or a cage. Skirts go well with sweaters, cardigans, turtlenecks. They can be worn with both boots and ankle boots, throwing a coat or jacket on top.
Jeans. It is better to put aside thin summer jeans, and take insulated ones instead. At the same time, you can “not change” your favorite styles – just “warm up” a little.
Straight-cut classic trousers in woven fabric. Will come in handy in the fall. They can be worn with any of the basic top options, they look great with boots and boots, a coat and a leather jacket.
Knitted dress. Such a dress should be short or medium length. You can go to work or go to a meeting in a cafe in it, just by changing accessories. Black is considered a classic color, but if you wish, you can choose brown, gray, etc. If you wear a jacket on such a dress, you will get an ideal option for the office.
Accessories
Autumn accessories are gloves, scarves, scarves and an umbrella. By the way, changing shawls and scarves, you will look different every day. In addition, they will save you from the cold wind and the risk of catching a cold.
Perhaps with a basic wardrobe everything. Of course, you can “do not stop there” by adding fashionable things to your basic wardrobe.
