What to buy a girl for the summer. How to dress in summer: summer wardrobe for women - summer style ideas. Trousers and jeans - photo

It’s a big mistake to think that once you’ve fully assembled your basic wardrobe, we will get rid of this problem once and for all. The Internet is full of advice about investment items that, once you buy in your life, you will wear them until the end of your days, and then pass them on to your grandchildren.

Unfortunately, this applies to very, very few things, in our age of consumerism, when manufacturers are trying to force us to consume more and more, fashion changes at the speed of light, and in order to look modern, even such a stable unit as a basic wardrobe, needs to be updated and reviewed periodically.

It would seem that it is clear to everyone that a good “classic” suit must be included in your basic wardrobe. But what does “classic” mean? After all, the concept of “classic” is quite vague. It just implies a stable package that has been proven over the years. This is when we pair a skirt with pumps, and not with sneakers, trousers with a shirt, and not with a T-shirt, etc. But if you wear the same pencil skirt with a hoodie and sneakers, then it’s unlikely that anyone will dare to call such a set classic.

So the word “classic” is more appropriate in relation to the complete set, but not to the clothing model itself (with the very rare exception of “timeless” styles such as the shortened Chanel jacket, and even then it has its own modifications).

For example, below is a frame from the well-known film “Sex and the City.”

It would seem that trouser suits, blouses with a bow and turtlenecks are in fashion now, but how old-fashioned these two heroines look! But not much time has passed since the series.

So, today we’ll talk not just about the basic wardrobe, but about modern basic wardrobe for summer. That is, let’s pay attention not only to the presence of certain things, but also to their cut and the possibility of configuration.

The secret to a good basic wardrobe

The trick is that basic things don’t just have to:

• be a neutral color ( ), which suits you,
• universal in cut (something too extravagant can hardly be called basic),
• match your style,
• fits perfectly on your figure,
• but they still need to be relevant.

Basic items should be your favorite ones that you want to wear again and again. They should be so good that they look great on their own, and not just as a backdrop for more interesting accent pieces.
For example, below are sets made up entirely of summer basic clothing. They look interesting on their own, of course, enlivened with the help of accessories.

Therefore, based on list of things for a basic wardrobe below, it makes sense to tailor it to suit yourself, your own lifestyle, tastes, style and preferences.

List of items for a basic wardrobe and their configuration

I included 15 items in the list: 5 tops, 5 top layers and 5 bottoms. Needless to say, it is best to choose such objects in a neutral color, but here you can deviate from the general practice. For example, if in your wardrobe some accent color (which many would consider not neutral at all) is quite actively represented, then for you it may well be considered neutral, because you can easily combine it with all the objects in your wardrobe.
Also, try to choose neutral colors to match your color scheme: .
Diversify your wardrobe: don't just stick to black, gray and white. There are many other shades that will look just as good.
Go!

This top should not be tight, this is the most important thing (unless you are going to wear it exclusively as a bottom layer). It's better if it's quite loose.
This does not apply to women with large breasts - in your case, it is better to prefer more fitted silhouettes. .

If you are a lover of fashion trends, then you can go even further and complement your basic wardrobe with a linen-style top made of satin, silk or chiffon.

There is no need to limit yourself to these examples of configuration (photo above): such a top will look appropriate even in the office (if it is not equipped with lace), worn under a jacket.
In everyday life, such a top can be worn over a simple T-shirt, creating an interesting multi-layered set for bold fashionistas.

An indispensable item for your everyday summer wardrobe in a casual style. But just like with the top, if you are putting together a basic wardrobe for the office, a similar T-shirt can be replaced with a plain neutral short-sleeved top.

By the way, about color. This also applies to the first point (sleeveless top): in my opinion, the most versatile option is white or its shades that suit you (cream, ivory, oat, ecru, etc.).
If you are a person with low contrast in lightness (), then it makes sense to purchase a T-shirt of some darker color, dark blue, for example.

As for the cut, just like with a top, it is better to choose a T-shirt that is quite loose, so that it does not fit tightly to the body and does not evoke the beginning of the 2000s. Make sure that the sleeve does not tighten your arm, but hangs freely from your shoulder.

I recently came across a video of some girl on YouTube who calls herself a fashion blogger. She tried on her wardrobe there. After wearing a similar T-shirt, she called it an oversized T-shirt. Apparently, a tight T-shirt is normal, not oversized, for her. So this is a good fit, as in the examples above. This is exactly what you should look for to make your basic wardrobe look up-to-date.

And this is what a real oversized T-shirt looks like (photo below). By the way, it can also be included in your basic wardrobe if you like this silhouette.

You can wear a T-shirt/top with absolutely anything. It will give a pencil skirt and formal trousers a more relaxed casual look, and by adding a trouser suit, you will turn your office set into a smart casual style, which will instantly rejuvenate it and make the look more relaxed.
You can wear it as a bottom layer under a jacket, sleeveless jacket, cardigan, bomber jacket and any jacket, as well as under a slip dress.

Don't be surprised, a graphic T-shirt can be considered a basic tee if it's a neutral color. The fact is that this print can be combined with absolutely any other pattern; this T-shirt is no less versatile than the plain version, but it looks more interesting. On the one hand, this is a basic item, and on the other, its print will add an interesting accent to your image. Therefore, even when combining such a T-shirt with other basic things, you do not risk putting together a boring, banal set. With such a T-shirt he will already have a twist!

As for the requirements for cut and packaging, they are exactly the same as for a plain T-shirt. For now, put off too-tight options until better times.

I noticed that we are not very fond of this object, but in vain. I never tire of including it in my list of basic items because it is truly unique.

The vest looks fresh, ironic, interesting, always very young and stylish. I especially recommend that mature women pay attention to this object - nothing rejuvenates a set (without the risk of vulgarizing it) like a vest.

Stripes go fantastically with any other print, be it a graphic print (check, polka dots), flowers or abstraction. .

By the way, there is no need to be afraid that the transverse stripe may make you look fat. If you choose the right stripe, then, on the contrary, it can even visually make you slimmer. A wide, very contrasting stripe will look fat, but rather narrow stripes located from each other at a distance equal to their width will have the opposite effect.

As for the cut, I will repeat here: it is better to choose a vest that is quite loose. Although, unlike a top or T-shirt, it is not forbidden to wear a tight-fitting vest, but then you need to do it with taste, carefully thinking through the set. A vest that fits more loosely on the figure does not carry any risks, so I still recommend going with this option.

It’s incredibly easy to assemble this item: you can wear it with almost any bottom and top layer. It looks especially interesting. For example, in the first photo above you can see a combination of stripes and a checkered jacket.

It is in white or blue that the shirt is most versatile, but if you have other color preferences and, for example, a pastel pink shirt or something else will fit into your wardrobe, then why not.
It is very important to choose the appropriate shade of white or blue. Make sure it matches the temperature of your paints: pure white and cool blue are suitable for those with a cool color scheme, while cream, ivory and warm blue are suitable for those with a warm color scheme.

If you don't wear shirts at all (and this happens), then this item can be replaced with a minimalist cut blouse so that it is not inferior in versatility to a shirt.

Why is the shirt great? Firstly, it always looks appropriate, it can be used not only in everyday outfits (with jeans, chinos and even joggers) and in outfits for work with formal skirts, trousers and dresses (sheath dress), but also to create wonderful looks for way out by adding a smart skirt (with sequins, for example) or chic palazzo pants.

Secondly, there is no body type that it would not suit (as, by the way, all the other participants in this list of summer basic wardrobes).
Thirdly, it looks good on any type of appearance if combined with things that suit you.
Fourthly, if a T-shirt or vest instantly turns any outfit into a more casual one, then a shirt, on the contrary, takes it to a higher level. Jeans worn with a shirt, complemented by appropriate accessories (for example, metallic pumps, beautiful large earrings or necklaces, an elegant clutch), can be worn to some celebration, but you can’t do this with a T-shirt.

Like any other basic item, a shirt complements interesting accent objects well.

The modern shirt is also rather loose, straight cut. Beware of fitted shirts: they are more suitable for creating office looks, so they lose in versatility to a straight cut.

No matter how strange it may seem, a light pullover is also necessary for the summer basic wardrobe of those who live in a less than tropical climate. The weather can be cool, especially in the evenings, this should also be taken into account.

A similar pullover can be purchased from cotton jersey; a mixture of linen and silk also works well. If it is quite thin, then it can be worn not only untucked, but also tucked into trousers or a skirt if you have a slender silhouette.

Main, Beware of thin, cheap knitwear. Not only does it look ugly on its own, it quickly loses its appearance (if it had one at all), but it also emphasizes all the imperfections of the figure, and sometimes creates them where there are none!

It is also better to choose such a pullover that is quite loose.

Those who live in central Russia, as well as in places with a variable climate, may consider a cotton sweater.

You can wear with anything not only a plain neutral pullover, but also a monochrome striped one. You already know that this is the most versatile print. Then such a pullover, despite the fact that it is basic, will look interesting even with other basic things (first photo below).
A small digression: a stripe like this, when wider stripes alternate with thinner ones, really visually expands the silhouette. Therefore, this version of the strip is suitable for those with an A (pear) shape or a very slender H (I) silhouette.
.

If you choose a solid neutral color option, wear it with either accent objects or other basic pieces, but in this case, jazz up the set with interesting accessories (for example, shoes like the one in the second photo below work well in this regard).

Another alternative top layer for cool summer days.
With denim it's not so simple. Often people buy a denim jacket, but then don’t wear it because they don’t like it or they don’t think it fits their wardrobe.
With the right denim, this shouldn’t happen.

First, pay attention to the cut. The current model is also somewhat loose, wide in the shoulders, it should not tightly fit your chest, maybe even oversized, but in no case tight-fitting to your figure. This is the cut that will look modern.

Secondly, it’s easier with jeans, since they are located on a part of the body away from the face. But denim is very close. Therefore, when choosing this jacket, pay attention to its color. Evenly colored denim is suitable for everyone who has clear colors in their appearance, that is, those who suit fairly bright colors. But denim with scuffs is better to choose for people with muted colors.

Accordingly, it also depends on whether it will match your clothes or not. If muted shades dominate your wardrobe, then distressed denim, as if faded, will be just right.
On the contrary, if the colors of your clothes are mostly clean, bright, then a uniform denim of a fairly rich or bright color will be combined with it.

With jeans it will make a very casual, rather banal set, if you don’t liven it up with unusual accessories, but with various skirts, dresses, culottes, wide trousers, denim can look very interesting. By the way, if you wear it with elegant dress or a skirt, then they will instantly turn into everyday ones, and they can be worn even during the day. The same applies to elegant tops, metallic, lace or with sequins, for example.

A biker jacket can most likely be attributed to early autumn or spring, but sometimes it can be needed in summer too. What can you do, what a summer, what a summer wardrobe.

Just like denim, a biker jacket can be combined with completely different stylistic trends: you don’t have to create only a biker look, it will look great not only with jeans, but also with dresses, both minimalist and sports shoes or boots in men's style, and with airy lungs, completely summer.

You can wear it with a formal pencil skirt or with joggers: there are many options!

If you buy a leather model, then try to choose some neutral color (black, cognac, camel, beige, burgundy), since bright colors can quickly get boring, but this is not a cheap purchase, and you will be wearing it for a really long time.
A good quality biker jacket is one of the few things I would truly call an “investment.”

If we are talking about a trendy cardigan for a basic wardrobe, then it is best to pay attention to the elongated model. But it has other advantages besides its relevance: such a cardigan will suit almost any body type, and it is also good for correcting the silhouette, as it creates two long vertical lines on the sides.

Just like with a pullover, make sure that the knitwear is of high quality and does not look cheap, so that it does not hug your arms above the elbow unsightly. For corpulent beauties, we can recommend models made from thicker knitwear.

There are two points here at once, since a trouser suit consists of a jacket and trousers. You, of course, can choose trousers and a jacket separately, but this is a more universal option, since, logically, together such trousers and a jacket make up a suit. And you can always wear them separately.

The suit can be of some bright color, but this risks quickly getting boring, so neutral colors are still more reliable in this sense. If pastel shades suit you, then they can also be considered as an option.
Also, the suit can be in thin stripes; you already know that this is a very versatile print.

Try to choose a jacket with a modern cut. The style depends on your body type, but the fit of a basic jacket should be impeccable. You can even have the jacket you like tailored to your tailor if there is such a need.
Pants can be either shortened (narrow or wide - you decide) or long. Based on what shoes you wear most often.

You can pair such a suit not only with your usual shoes, but also with men’s-style shoes or sneakers or sneakers. If you want to achieve a smart casual look, wear a T-shirt with a suit instead of a shirt or blouse. Looks beautiful with a suit and a lingerie-style top.

Basic jeans can be considered the ones that you can wear with most of your tops. This is where you start when choosing a style for them. And, of course, they should fit your figure perfectly, and even adjust it if necessary.

Summer trousers made of lightweight fabric can take their rightful place in your basic wardrobe. Pay attention to light cotton fabric or a blend. Linen wrinkles very much, so it’s best to save it for a top (jacket, top, shirt) or dress, if you like it.

It is better to choose a shortened model of any modern style that suits you.

Here you need to pay attention to where the culottes end. Ideally, if the culottes are just below the calf, they should not break off at its widest point.

As for the cut of a pencil skirt, the optimal length for the basic version is just below the knee or covering the calf. Try both and choose the one that suits you best.
By the way, you can consider not only the usual classic version of such a skirt, but also its very current modifications: a pencil skirt with a slit, a wraparound or an asymmetrical hem.

When creating a capsule wardrobe, do not forget about your color scheme:

For example, something like this summer basic wardrobe Suitable for people with cold and muted colors, of whom, by the way, there are a lot of people among the population of our country:

Dresses and sundresses in the basic wardrobe summer 2017 photo

Dresses and sundresses are king in the 2017 summer season, so light, flowing dresses and sundresses should dominate. Choose models made of cotton, linen, chintz, silk, chiffon, avoid fabrics that are heavy in appearance and feel. The color scheme in the basic summer wardrobe of 2017 is not limited to monotony; outfits can be colorful, decorated with prints, but dark palettes, unnatural colors, metallic, gold and other flashy shades, as well as excessive decoration with rhinestones, sequins and other decorative materials, are absolutely not suitable.

Trousers and jeans in the basic wardrobe summer 2017 photo

If you work in an office, then you will need trousers. In the summer season of 2017, it is better to opt for cropped, tapered trousers with a length of 7/8 or a straight cut style.

Swimwear in the basic wardrobe summer 2017 photo

Usually, when going to the sea, the first thing we do is go to the store for a swimsuit, which must be present in the basic summer wardrobe of 2017. It is very important to choose the right style of swimsuit, because with its help you can easily highlight all the advantages of a woman’s figure. Fortunately, today summer collections offer a wide variety of models: bikinis, bandeaus, tankinis, one-pieces. They differ from each other in the different shapes of their bras and panties. A bikini swimsuit opens up the maximum area of ​​your body for tanning. Its top is often decorated with ruffles and pleats, and the straps can be detached. The “tankini” model consists of a top and swimming trunks of any shape, from shorts to thongs. The peculiarity of bandeau swimsuits is the top without straps or with one that is thrown over the neck. With the help of a closed swimsuit, you can hide minor figure imperfections, as well as emphasize your individuality, since most often girls choose separate options for the beach.

Bags in the basic wardrobe summer 2017 photo

A woman and bags are a romance for life. However, as for the basic wardrobe for summer 2017, you can limit yourself to two or three. One is for the office. Strict, roomy, business style. The other is for everyday life. Comfortable, beautiful, bright, summer. This could be a small handbag with a long strap or a large string bag. If you are lucky and manage to find a bag that meets the requirements of both the office and your free life, then congratulations, you managed to save money! You will need one more bag for the beach. The ideal beach bag should be comfortable, roomy and lightweight. But again, it can be combined with everyday wear. If you're lucky.

It is very important for mothers to look good in order to energize their child and husband. But often mothers do not have time for cosmetics. There is no time to apply tone and even out the skin - the main thing is to have time to get dressed and jump out for a walk before the child gets tired in the stroller or becomes capricious. What to do in this case? This is where the secrets of stylists come to the rescue :)

The first is knowing your best clothing colors. With them you will look healthier, younger and more well-groomed, even without makeup. It's simple. You wear your color and it does everything for you. It will reflect freshness on the face and even out the skin, remove redness, yellowness or grayness of the skin.

Second - the best styles. Choose clothing silhouettes that suit your figure.

• If your figure has a pronounced waist (hourglass), then do not hide it. Hiding it will make you appear larger than you actually are.
• If you have a straight figure without a waist, then it is better to hide your waist with a straight silhouette of clothes and draw attention to your face with accessories.
• If you have pronounced hips and rounded buttocks, then you need to hide them with the help of skirts and A-line dresses. Draw attention to the face and add volume to the upper body so that the top and bottom are balanced.

Third is the choice of style. If you are a mother and spend all your time in sandboxes and shops, then you do not need formal jackets, suits, sheath dresses and high-heeled shoes, so business style, feminine and dramatic style are not your everyday options. Casual style, natural styles (safari, military, nautical, country, ethnic) are suitable for you; grunge may be suitable, but it is too gloomy for communicating with children and mothers. If you have a bright appearance, then the sport-chic style will suit you well.

Remember that your clothing style depends on your social role. In addition to the role, there is also a time and place for this or that clothing. You cannot shine in rhinestones and evening dresses during the day, especially if you are on a walk with a child. Women in stiletto heels and bandage dresses look very stupid in supermarkets and playgrounds. Every time I am touched when I see such girls. There are things for every situation.

So, what does mommy need in the summer? You need convenience and interchangeability of things, i.e. basic wardrobe for summer. Basic items are universal and quite simple in color and cut; they are elegant and do not scream, without unnecessary details or decoration. A mother’s basic wardrobe consists of relaxed and comfortable clothes made from natural and pleasant materials and soft textures. These are knitted items, jeans, long knitted skirts, cotton dresses, cardigans. You can wear sweatshirts, fashionable bombers, motorcycle jackets and boyfriend jackets, there is room for your imagination to run wild.

A basic wardrobe is a minimum set of things that combine perfectly with each other and are complemented by other clothes and various accessories, thereby creating a complete stylish set.

So what should be in a mother's wardrobe? As an example, we take the most popular semi-straight figure and the Slavic type of coloring - muted:

1. A pair of long dresses made of natural fabric (cotton, viscose, linen), the style of the dresses should be chosen based on your appearance and psychological preferences. In the example, I chose a casual dress and a boho dress.
2. Jeans

3. Knitted skirt

4. Chinos

5. Knitted short dress

6. Knitted jacket, denim, linen or cotton cardigan

7. Three T-shirts, a couple of plain ones and one with a print

8. Linen or cotton jumper for cool weather or evening.

9. Dress for going out with your husband (restaurant, cinema, guests, but not weddings and banquets; for these events we select dresses and items separately).

10. Casual version of a bag, a strap, sandals with solid soles, closed summer shoes, such as slip-ons or espadrillesyee, wedge shoes for going out with your husband.

Now look how many sets you can get with these basic and interchangeable things. We ended up with 27 sets and that’s not all, we can come up with a dozen more :)

And for special events you buy beautiful outfits extra.

As a result, mom’s wardrobe is ready for the summer!

See you again!
