First, let's start with the basic rules that your wardrobe should meet:

• Quality. Why wear a sweater that will be covered with pills after the first wash? There are products that are great value for money, so you don't have to splurge on something expensive. Look at the percentage of natural fabric on the label.
• Compatibility. Perhaps your favorite orange skirt doesn't go with everything. Stock up on things in neutral shades: white, black, beige, light blue. Pastel colors will come to the rescue. Ideally, each item should be combined with two or three others.
• Harmony. Don't mix polar styles. This is a common mistake. Experiments are an interesting business, but they don’t always pay off.

You will need:

Cardigans and sweaters

These are universal “autumn” things. A basic fall wardrobe should include a couple of cardigans and 2-3 sweaters. Such things are not afraid of the cold.

A special trend - a sweater top - goes well with a straight skirt and high-waisted boyfriend jeans.

Cardigans are comfortable and spacious; any girl in them seems taller and slimmer.

In cold weather, they will replace formal jackets.

Jeans

An invariable wardrobe attribute. High or low waist – it’s up to you, it all depends on your figure and taste. Skinny, with or without “turnups,” classic or decorated, with lace, “holes” and more - the choice depends on your preferred style. Comfortable skinny jeans with a zipper at the ankle.

If you like “holey” jeans, you can make them yourself. How? Read in our article about If over time they become sloppy, use our instructions, which describe in detail. But there will be no problems.

“Banana” jeans, as they were called in the 90s: widened from the hips and tapered towards the bottom, they suit slender beauties.

Light-colored jeans are ideal with white and beige sweaters.

Stylists say that it is preferable to take tall ones. Over the knee boots are versatile shoes that never go out of style. They will make a wonderful pair with a dress and a skirt, giving the image maximum femininity.

Sneakers

Nowadays it is fashionable to wear sneakers and sneakers with sports-style dresses and skirts of different styles. A basic fall wardrobe for warm weather should include sneakers that are comfortable for walking. You can choose brogues, loafers, oxfords.

Warm dress

Will be a good addition to your wardrobe. Even in autumn you can be feminine in a dress, highlighting it with the right accessories.

Velvet dresses with a cutout are especially cute - a good evening option.

Cloak

Will add severity and mystery. Raincoats top the list of top looks for fall this season, so they should be included in your wardrobe. A raincoat looks unforgettable over a dress, especially if you choose the right colors and shoes.

Skirt

Straight, “pencil”, “sun”, “half-sun”, with a peplum - the choice is huge. Black with a peplum will go under a biker jacket, “pencil” - under a coat, “half-sun” and “sun” - under a short sweater. Having a skirt in your wardrobe, you can easily create many looks for the whole fall.

Accessories and decorations

Bag

The classic version is black. If you choose a bright accessory, make sure that the clothes are in calmer shades, and vice versa.

Umbrella

It’s better to choose a solid color and neutral so as not to worry that it doesn’t belong in your look at all. – automatic, semi-automatic, wooden. The color range is also varied. It is better not to choose “rainbow” umbrellas; they are more suitable for children. With the right look, a colorful accessory will give you some flair and will make you stand out perfectly on a gloomy rainy day.

If you consider yourself a true lady, you just need to know.

Gloves

Leather, fingerless, under a leather jacket - choose any, most importantly. Otherwise, you will be uncomfortable, and your appearance will deteriorate. Of course, this is not the time to buy down gloves, but you can buy lightweight fabric ones for style. It's beautiful when they match the color of the buttons.

Scarf and hat

A gentle and warm addition that will protect against colds. It is worth paying special attention to the collar - a stylish thing will warm you up in the autumn cold. Bright accessories will go well with black clothes and will successfully highlight your look. If you learn, you can embellish even the simplest image and make it stylish.

Decorations

Everyday gold or silver earrings look expensive and strict. They are good for work and school, as well as for those who love minimalism. But remember that.

Jewelry made from natural stones does not lose its charm. You shouldn't wear jewelry sets, they make you look old. Such jewelry is suitable for holidays, but not for everyday looks.

Summer is a wonderful time, but all good things tend to come to an end, and autumn comes. There is no need to be upset about this, because walks through picturesque parks and streets, Indian summer or the first snow delight us no less than the summer sun. To meet the varied weather in full force, you need to have a basic wardrobe for autumn. In this article you will find many tips and options for looks for different occasions during the change from summer to winter.

What is a basic wardrobe?

A basic wardrobe does not include all possible clothing, from underwear to outerwear. It includes a minimum of things that make it easy to create new images. As a rule, various accessories in the form of scarves, hats, gloves and jewelry belong to the same additions to the main set. The basis is considered to be outerwear, a set of things for being indoors, shoes and bags. We will try to analyze all aspects so that any of your looks look holistic, are practical, comfortable and, of course, beautiful.

Choosing outerwear for autumn

The basic wardrobe for autumn is primarily formed taking into account the right clothes. Between September and November, temperatures can vary from +20 degrees during Indian summer to -10 at the end of November. In addition, unexpected snowfalls are possible lately, followed by sudden warming and constant rain. To always be prepared for any weather conditions, choose any 3 items from all listed below. The first should be suitable for warm September weather with wind, the second should be warm and water-repellent, and the third should retain as much heat as possible in case of the first frosts and snow.

Feminine look

To look sophisticated in the fall, your basic wardrobe may include the following types of outerwear: raincoat, trench coat, coat.

Cloak

A raincoat is a lightweight outerwear that primarily protects from rain and wind, and is made of waterproof, dense material. A raincoat is indispensable in the wardrobe of a sophisticated woman, since it can come in handy both in August, if summer ends too early, and in October, if the weather pleases us with Indian summer. At the same time, autumn is the time of rain and a beautiful raincoat will not only emphasize your femininity, but also protect you from the possibility of catching a cold in a cold downpour or unpleasant drizzling rain.

Trench coat

A trench coat is a raincoat with a lining that retains heat and a waterproof exterior that keeps the rain out. Initially, it was a men's trench coat, which had exclusively protective functions from frost and rain. The modern name for this women's outerwear is trench coat. Ladies have made their changes, and now the trench coat can have all sorts of colors, interesting trims and occupies a central place in the basic autumn wardrobe of women, thanks to its versatility and compatibility with both jeans and dresses.

Coat

The coat is ideal during the first frosts, when rain is excluded, and sub-zero temperatures require warm clothing. This type of demi-season clothing can be of any style - fitted, loose-fitting coat, and also have any length - above the knee, to the knee, below the knee, to the floor. The color palette is also very diverse, which makes it possible to look bright not only in summer, but also in autumn.

Universal look

We all strive to choose universal clothes that will look good and match any item in our wardrobe, be it a skirt, dress or suit. The following items will fit perfectly into your basic wardrobe if versatility and practicality are the main points by which you are used to choosing clothes.

Windbreaker

A windbreaker is a type of demi-season jacket that repels moisture, but, as a rule, does not have a warm lining. It will go well with jeans; this type of outerwear is indispensable for getting to work, to the store or going to nature. It is better to choose models with a hood so that if you don’t have an umbrella you won’t get wet in the rain.

Leather jacket

A leather jacket is a real fall hit. Firstly, the leather repels moisture, secondly, the lining can be warm enough to wear a leather jacket even in November, and thirdly, such a jacket will ideally complement any look - romantic, sporty or casual.

Parka

The parka is a new fashion trend, which is also very practical. As a rule, a parka is a long jacket below the knee with a hood, very popular clothing among teenagers and young people under 25-30 years old. The advantage of such outerwear is that clothes that help maintain health have finally appeared in fashion.

Down jacket

For the coldest autumn times, a down jacket is a must. This basic outerwear has many variations - short and long, fitted and loose, with or without a hood, with many pockets, leather, military colors, with bright patterns or plain.

Choosing casual clothes for autumn

Having practical and comfortable items for every day in your wardrobe, you can easily select looks for any time of the year. In autumn, the most important thing is not to get sick, as the light breeze and rays of the sun can create a misleading impression of warmth, which will force you to choose the wrong clothes for going out. Remember the main rule - summer things remain on the shelves, so shorts, T-shirts and summer dresses can be safely put away. You'll likely need the following fall basics:

1. Jeans - blue or black, bright colors will look out of place, leave them for the summer.
2. A suit - trouser or with a skirt, which is ideal for office work.
3. A thick skirt - a knee-length skirt or a pencil skirt will fit well into an autumn wardrobe, here you can even experiment with color.
4. Several blouses that will look good with both a skirt and jeans.
5. The jumper is a warm and practical item that is suitable for a daily autumn look.
6. A cardigan can be a bright addition to your look or simply serve as an additional warming element.
7. A sweater is indispensable during the first frosts; it can be either bright or muted in color; you can give preference to options with a closed neck.
8. A knitted dress will keep you warm and at the same time maintain a feminine look if necessary.

Choosing shoes

In the fall, choosing the right shoes will also be important. Give preference to natural leather and wool to avoid catching a cold. Since the weather in autumn is very unpredictable, the choice of shoes is very large:

1. Shoes - classic pumps or ultra fashionable high heels, it all depends on your own preferences.
2. Boots - to prevent your feet from getting tired from heels, buy boots with a small heel of 1-2 cm made of genuine leather; such shoes will look good with both jeans and a dress.
3. Ankle boots are universal shoes that go well with a coat and trench coat, as well as a leather jacket.
4. Boots or ankle boots - here you choose whether you need a heel, the height of the boots and their colors.

Choosing universal accessories

The choice of accessories is important. You choose the style, color and other subtleties to your taste. The main thing is to take into account the color and style of outerwear and shoes, because a patent leather bag should be worn with patent leather shoes, and a silk scarf will look comical in combination with a windbreaker.

Bag

You can choose one bag that goes with any outerwear and shoes, or create 2 looks. For example, restrained, with a predominance of calm colors (beige, gray, black) and bright, where a red bag and shoes, blue bag accessories, etc. will be successfully combined.

Scarves and shawls

Choose scarves that will look good in a romantic and sporty look, or also create 2 looks - for a romantic outing in a coat and a sporty hike in a down jacket. Alternatively, you can purchase a stole; it will look good with a coat or leather jacket.

Headdress

In the fall, many ladies may prefer hats or simply choose hooded clothing to keep their heads warm and not ruin their hair. Regular hats are acceptable, you can choose the style and type to suit your taste, depending on your outerwear.

Gloves

Gloves can be washed leather or wool, the color depends on your taste, but at least 1 pair of black should be in your wardrobe for all occasions.

Umbrella

An umbrella is necessary in the autumn wardrobe, let it be one, neutral color or, on the contrary, rainbow, the main thing is that the umbrella fits into any of your handbags.

Jewelry and watches

There are always 2 types of women, some wear classic gold or silver jewelry, others love jewelry and natural stones. Depending on what type you are, you can finally complete your autumn look. You can also wear your favorite watch alone or change it depending on your look.

The autumn wardrobe is very diverse, as is the weather during this period of time. If you walk a lot, choose comfortable shoes and practical outerwear; when you need to emphasize femininity, coats and heels will help you. Depending on the style and rhythm of life, it is easy to choose the clothes in which you will feel comfortable.

The phrase: “Nowhere to hang, nothing to wear” is relevant at all times, but it gains special momentum during the change of season. So, to get ready for fall 2019, we'll be breaking down the fashionable wardrobe staples for this time of year. Each girl has her own basic wardrobe, depending on her lifestyle and needs. A young mother will have one, a girl working in a bank will have another, a freelancer who loves traveling will have a third. I chose to talk about an urban everyday wardrobe that will suit most girls and women.

A little about basic things

It is generally accepted that the basic wardrobe for autumn is black, white, beige or gray things. However, nothing is more boring than this. Choose colored things! An article about how to combine colors is coming, learn how to combine them with each other.

Question: why does one girl look chic in a T-shirt and jeans, while the other looks like something from the last century? The point is that you need to choose modern basic things. After all, even white T-shirts are not all equally useful.

What are basic things? These are things of a modern style and simple cut. That's all! In this case, any colors can be used.

The modern style is semi-fitting and elongated. Let me show you what and how to wear this fall! :)

Nice coat

A beautiful coat is the key to a successful autumn! In fashion, as last season, (or as they are also called Max Mara coats, named after the designer who first proposed this item). No frills on coats, tulip skirts or puffed sleeves (unless you want to look 10 years older).

– a comfortable, warm and cozy thing does not give up its position. Choose an elongated model, as the short version can easily turn into a ball.

A minimum of decor and fasteners on the coat - and your wardrobe will be relevant for a long time.

Short straight models are also relevant. For other fashionable coats for fall-winter 2019-2020, see the link.

As always, at the height of fashion. Choose a large check if you are a fragile nymph, otherwise it is better to stick with a small print.

A fur collar will add a touch of glamorous chic to your look.

Light down jacket

As autumn begins to turn into winter, beautiful is the best cure for the rainy blues. Fitted models with inserts, cocoons (for lovers of the sport-chic style), as well as trapeze down jackets are trendy.

Trench coat

Choose a bright color. It would be good if it had water-repellent impregnation.

If you want something new, then buy it. It will only last you a few seasons, but it will make you stand out from the crowd.

Pay attention! Modern ways of wearing are with a long belt, or with a belt, but without fastening it all the way.

Teddy coat

Last year’s trend will remain with us this year, but it has finally left the fashion Olympus. It is cold in winter in such a fur coat, so it is suitable for the demi-season period.

The right autumn sweater
Finding the perfect sweater is no easy task. It should be warm, not prickly, hide what is not needed and emphasize what is needed. For a basic sweater this fall, choose a V-neck with a dropped armhole. The style is semi-fitting and elongated. This sweater can be easily combined with anything.

A simple crew neck jumper is also a good option.

Knitted cardigan
An absolutely comfortable and convenient item for the chilly autumn of 2019. Long knitted models are trendy. If it is decorated with an applique or fringe along the hem, it’s just fire! :)

Or a non-knitted cardigan.

White shirt.

There are a lot of white shirts, how to choose the right shirt for this season? It should be straight cut or slightly fitted, preferably made from natural materials. Lace, jabot, and other similar decor remained in the last five-year plan.

Shirt dress.
A variation of the classic shirt, only longer. You can use it as a separate item of clothing or combine it with a skirt or trousers.

T-shirt or shirt with an inscription or black and white print.

A dress for all seasons!
If you want your dress to serve you faithfully and not go out of fashion for a long time, buy a semi-fitting sheath dress with long sleeves. Length – knee-length or below. This model is universal - from the feast to the world, as they say...

Long sleeve vest.
Vests have been in fashion for many seasons now, and this is their insidiousness. How to wear them without looking like most people on the streets? Decorate the vest with a playful appliqué or combine it with other prints.

There is one trick: if you don’t know what to wear with a vest, imagine that you are wearing a completely black thing.

Pant suit.

This fall, pastel colors and laconic cuts are on trend. One right suit – and a thousand successful combinations and looks!

Cashmere suit.

A truly basic item that can be worn with anything - a down jacket, a coat or. In addition, trousers and a jumper can be worn separately.

Denim jacket.

This fall, trendy long denim jeans with fraying, applique and inscriptions. If you want to buy a jacket for more than one season, take one without decoration, but be sure to have an elongated and loose style.

Pencil skirt.
Makes any figure divine! It also goes with an incredible amount of things.

Jissy is the head of everything!
– look here. And don’t forget that the combination of ripped jeans and has long gone out of fashion. What to wear?

• mom jeans;
• shortened flare (for the brave);
• simple high-waisted jeans.
• very wide legs.

Trousers

Pants with stripes have already sunk into the past fashion season. In the fall of 2019, wide trousers (leather or textile) came into fashion.

Or you can choose classic pipes.

What's on your head?

An excellent solution for cold autumn -. Suitable for everyone. Especially for those who find it difficult to choose a hat due to small facial features. Large knitting will make the face more noticeable. Hats made of large yarn are especially relevant.

The hat is also suitable for a basic wardrobe for a warm autumn; hats are still cool in November. A little secret: choose a hat with a square crown. A round crown will instantly add 5-7 years of age.

Beret. Glossy leather berets are already out of fashion, but the classic beret is always in fashion. Please note that it is better to wear it high along the hairline.

Headband. An exotic headdress can add zest and mystery to any look. A good option when it’s still hot in the hat, but your ears have already started to freeze :)

Shoes for autumn

• Over the knee boots or just high boots.

I can already foresee “cries from the audience” about the appropriateness of this thing for adult women. Ladies, just leave the whip at home and wear them with simple things, not with fishnet tights, otherwise it will be “you know what” :)

• Sneakers, sneakers, sneakers.

It’s good that the question has long since sunk into oblivion! Where are we now without them? It's not only stylish, but also incredibly comfortable! They can also be worn with a suit, skirt, dress and jeans. Choose chunky models (so-called ugly sneakers) or sock sneakers. They are the ones that are trending right now.

• Boots with flat or almost flat soles.

Without them, no basic autumn wardrobe is unthinkable. Choose what you like best: - classics of the genre.

I bet you already have the beige ones. :) Shoes are not for long walking, but you can’t do without them in the fall. Especially shown to those with beautiful legs.

Current bags

Choose a roomy bag with a simple geometric shape: to wear it in the fall, and not worry about what it goes with.

Crossbody bag with chain. I'm sure you already have one, and more than one.

Backpack. A very comfortable and stylish thing. Choose a small compact model; it is better to purchase a huge backpack for travel separately.

The round bag is a definite hit this year! They look very unusual and can make any set in your wardrobe stylish.

Belt bag. Those who have already pampered themselves with this baby have already appreciated the undoubted convenience of this baby, because your hands remain completely free. The only negative is that it only holds a phone, card and keys. Ideal for walking, but for workdays you will have to look for a more spacious option.

Two bags at once - delirium or reality?

This is still a current trend that will soon leave us. But this fall we will still have time to grab him by the tail. Just like fluffy pom-pom keychains. You can find such tiny handbags both in luxury brands and in the mass market. For example, Zara, Marmalato, Lady Collection stores, as well as children's clothing stores.

How to create a basic wardrobe?

All these things go well together. With even half of them, you can create dozens of fashionable sets. Don't believe me? Look at the photo again :) And I say goodbye to you. Good luck and have a great fashionable fall 2019!

Each of us goes crazy at the sight of branded fashion items, but let's think rationally and, above all, fill our closet with stylish and versatile things that will allow you to create chic looks at an affordable price. All we need is to create the basics, that is, a basic wardrobe for the fall.

Basic wardrobe for autumn

Classic coat

The coat is the basis of a basic wardrobe for autumn, due to its versatility and ease of wear. Stylists advise choosing models in a masculine style, but with a slightly fitted silhouette to add a touch of femininity. You can wear this coat every day for more than one season. The same cannot be said about the insanely expensive coat from Kenzo, which you can only wear once a month at best.

For a more noble appearance, we suggest buying expensive, beautiful buttons and sewing them on instead of those with which the coat was sold. This will allow even a budget item to look much more expensive and fashionable. You can do the same with cardigans and blazers.

Jacket or blazer

Such a fashionable and necessary detail as a jacket forms the basis of a basic wardrobe for autumn. This means that if you have not yet purchased this item, be sure to take the trouble to find and purchase it. You can pair it with trousers or simply wear it with jeans. It is very convenient during the off-season, when you don’t want to wear a cardigan, but it’s already cold to wear one blouse, for example, to the office.

Trousers

Trousers form the basis of a basic wardrobe not only for autumn, but also for summer, winter and spring. It is better to give preference to banana trousers with arrows in a neutral monochrome color. These trousers can be worn with or without a blouse and blazer. A blazer can easily be replaced with a cardigan, which adds a touch of romance to the look.

Autumn skirt

So, the classic of the genre is the skirt. Of course, your basic fall wardrobe should include a mid-length pencil skirt. As a rule, a pencil skirt that fits above the knee always looks very elegant and feminine. Stylists recommend choosing a length that does not go along the knee line, that is, choosing options a little lower or a little higher. Bohemia is in fashion, not vulgarity, so you shouldn’t focus on choosing a mini skirt.

Also pay attention to the fashionable cut of the full skirt and A-line silhouette. Such skirts are worn with blouses, sweaters, cardigans, and blazers. You can create a dozen variations with this element of the basic autumn wardrobe. It can be made of leather, suit fabric, knitwear, denim. For the office, choose simpler models, but for walks and going out, choose more trendy and interesting style solutions. In other words, never deny yourself the opportunity to look amazing.

Dress made of thick knitwear, denim or jacquard

When choosing a dress for autumn, it is better to stick to calm tones, and in extreme cases, choose a graphic print. This could be a sheath dress or just a loose-fitting model.

Shirt for autumn

A shirt is an absolute element that every lady should have in her arsenal at any time of the year. As for color, neutral tones closer to the pastel spectrum are available. A white or simply light shirt can be worn to work or to any other event. It looks good in combination with a pencil skirt, trouser suit and jeans.

Loose women's sweater

When buying a sweater, pay attention to the composition of the fabric. It is better to give preference to natural wool, as synthetics pill very quickly. Here it is worth shelling out a little for a pullover in the mid-range price range. It is of better quality and will look much more noble. Let us remind you that bohemianism is in fashion, which means ivory, beige, powdery, light brown are just what the doctor ordered. A voluminous sweater is best worn with trousers and jeans, but can also be worn with a skirt.

Black shoulder bag

When choosing and purchasing a bag, pay attention to options made from genuine leather. You should not buy suede, as it very quickly takes on an unsightly appearance. It is best to complement your basic wardrobe for fall with a textured, geometric bag. Texture refers to structured leather.

Ankle boots

You can’t do without ankle boots in the fall, as they have long become a timeless fashion classic. The basic wardrobe for autumn should include classic options with heels.

Scarf or stole

A scarf is a must-have for your basic fall wardrobe. It will not only provide additional warmth, but also protect from wind and bad weather. It can be tied both under outerwear and over it.
