The business of selling women's clothing is quite common in our country, but experts still classify it as unpromising. This is due to the fact that existing offers often do not satisfy the requirements of customers - in terms of cost, quality or range of goods. The last factor is very significant, so we’ll tell you in more detail how to correctly formulate the product range in a women’s clothing store in order to increase the number of customers and achieve success.

Targeting a specific segment

One of the common mistakes of novice sellers is a lot of offers without a specific positioning. You can often find stores that have literally everything - office and formal wear, tracksuits, shoes, hosiery, underwear and accessories. But it is very difficult for the buyer to find something suitable in such abundance, and, as a rule, he leaves the store empty-handed.

The situation is completely different in departments that specialize in selling a specific group of goods. Customers come to them for sports or loungewear, evening dresses or underwear, and rarely leave the store without purchasing. If you choose the segment correctly and offer it correctly, you will provide yourself with a constant flow of clients and good revenue for a long time.

Successful narrow niches today include casual clothing, dresses and suits for the office, as well as outfits for plus-size ladies. The last category is the most profitable - finding a well-tailored dress or skirt from size 52 and above is not easy today. Wholesale high-quality plus size women's clothing will help you take your business to a new level and win the hearts of customers.

Selection of suppliers

Having decided on a niche, you should start looking for the ideal supplier. It determines how satisfied your customers will be with the product and whether they will want to return to your store again. A reliable supplier can be identified by the working conditions it offers. Look out for companies that offer the following:

Small or no initial purchase amount.
Increasing discounts based on order volume.
Possibility of purchasing clothes without rows.
Select payment methods.
Choice of delivery methods.

If the wholesale organization is also a clothing manufacturer, this will be an additional advantage for cooperation. Manufacturer and supplier of clothing TD Salome specializes in the production of fashionable women's outfits from sizes 44 to 66. The reputation of the trading house is evidenced by the geography of sales - every year more than one hundred thousand of the manufacturer’s products are sent to Krasnodar, Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod, Yekaterinburg and other cities of Russia and Kazakhstan. A well-thought-out assortment of current models, impeccable product quality, and the absence of a minimum purchase amount have made Salome the main supplier of many women's clothing stores.

Steps to creating the ideal assortment

Once the main segment and suppliers have been selected, it is worth considering how to present the product line to customers as successfully as possible. Advice from retail experts will help you with this:

The area of the sales area should be proportionate to the volume of the assortment.
Clothes are hung and laid out so that the buyer can quickly find the item they need.
Offer related products - tights, belts, scarves, etc.
Skip the shoes - it will be too much work.
Experiment with product display and monitor customer reactions.
Present clothes in sets - on mannequins and hangers.
Receive feedback from visitors - the opinion of customers about the product is important to you.

A carefully formed assortment of a women's clothing store is half of its success. Therefore, it is worth working hard to find the right product segment and your target audience, as well as competently present all the benefits of the product.

When I first started my stylistic quest, I was very passionate about the idea of a capsule wardrobe. (And not just me: we still have one of the most popular search queries on our website -). At some point it seemed to me an absolutely universal system. However, time passed, I sorted out my wardrobe needs and preferences, bought a lot of good things, but the closet remained disjointed (more precisely, consisting of many separate capsule parts that were mixed together in random order and constantly caused annoyance and irritation). Now a stage has come in my life when I want minimalism - get rid of the unnecessary, organize the necessary, choose “less, but better.” And this brought me back to the idea of a single, basic wardrobe, which I am now gradually collecting.

To the roughest approximation, a basic wardrobe is the minimum possible wardrobe: several tops + several bottoms (the combination of “top and bottom” can be replaced by dresses) + outerwear, accessories and shoes, which in the event of a nuclear war of moving, a financial crisis and the inability to update a wardrobe will be enough to exist in them and carry out all of your social functions.

The first rule of a basic wardrobe that I formulated for myself: the base can be anything by color, style and cut. All these canonical lists like Evelina Khromchenko’s look very tempting (and beautiful), but questions arise here.

Classic trousers and beige pumps may be useful for an office worker from Moscow, but what should a mother on maternity leave from Jerusalem, a student from Shakhty, a local doctor from Petrozavodsk, or a front-end developer from Pattaya do with them? Can they become a staple in everyone's everyday wardrobe? Of course not. A basic wardrobe should primarily take into account your lifestyle, climate conditions, type of appearance and, in general, an understanding of who you are.

How individual should a basic wardrobe be?

There are two main approaches to a basic wardrobe. The first is that it should consist of a rigid set of very simple and universal things (that’s why it’s the base) and, in principle, the list of these things will be more or less common for everyone (hence all these canonical white shirt, pencil skirt, dress - case and so on). The second approach is that the base can include absolutely anything, even a tutu skirt and a T-shirt with Kurt Cobain, even a boho dress with pantaloons, there may not be black and white or there may not be other colors except black and white, the main thing is - what are you wearing? The second approach is closer to me, but I believe that it needs to be treated very carefully, and here’s why.

Even if we accept as a fact that the basic wardrobe can be anything, this will only work if your personal style is expressed quite clearly (due to great awareness or character traits), and your lifestyle is moderately specific. However, what to do if you have neither a clear craving for something specific, nor a desire to stand out in any particular way, nor an innate instinct or observation that allows you to unerringly snatch “your” things from hangers? If you actually work in an office, wear a pencil skirt and just want to look normal and have a comfortable closet? Then there is a danger that, after reading about the Very_Individual_Wardrobe, you will begin to think, should you include motorcycle boots (which you generally like) and an Indian sundress (which really suits you) in your base. And perhaps this approach will simply confuse your wardrobe, making it difficult to combine and non-universal. Therefore, it is important to immediately determine for yourself how bright and specific you would like your entire wardrobe to be and what deviation from the standard list you personally require.

In my opinion, a basic wardrobe could be like this:

And yet, how can you understand that in all cases this is a basic wardrobe, and not just random sets of things? If a basic wardrobe can be anything, why bother putting it together? And the difference is that the base is not things, it is their combination. So that the base is just that, a base and you can string any images on it within the framework of your style and lifestyle, inside the base, all things must be 100% compatible with each other. This, in general, is the main problem of most wardrobes: there are good trousers, but only one sweater goes with them, there is a warm sweater, but it only goes with a black skirt. It seems that everything matches the color, fits, and looks stylish, but the combination algorithms are too complex - and the wardrobe falls apart.

The common rule “when buying a new thing, imagine if you can combine it with two or three” does not work very well in this case either: if these two or three are not basic and do not form a set, then the new purchase may go dead along with them cargo, because there will always be something missing until the complete set is complete. Let's say I have excellent trousers with creases (classic, therefore, basic), they are combined with a white shirt (basic), one jacket (also basic) and shoes. Formally, the rule is followed, but I can only wear this in one combination and in one situation (pants+shirt+jacket, formal look). This set, and not a base, despite all the external signs of a “basic thing”. But in fact, these trousers will become a base if they are paired with a sweater (to create a more relaxed look on a cold day), a T-shirt (do the same, but with a jacket), a sequin top (to go to an exhibition), a matching coat, ankle boots to match height (otherwise how to wear this in cold weather?), hat and so on. Then what comes to the fore is not what these things are, but how they fit together. Therefore, a basic wardrobe is simpler collect whole(for example, create a set in polyvore or a list that will become your plan, and gradually buy more things according to this plan).

Signs of a basic wardrobe

a single color scheme and a single style (it doesn’t matter whether it’s a specific style - “boho”, “romantic”, “business” or it’s your personal story - “Bonnie and Clyde”, “hipster”, “space ranger” or anything else);
all the tops of the base (the base, not the entire cabinet) are combined with all the bottoms of the base both in color and shape;
thin alternates with volume, hard with soft, smooth with textured (this principle helps to avoid duplication of things of the same function and at the same time close the maximum of possible combinations);
the wardrobe is self-sufficient in different situations of the same season (that is, if necessary, these things can be used in the office, on a walk, in the theater, and at a party).

In fact, there may not be so many things in the base - 10, 12, 15, but they all make up such a hard skeleton on which everything else is strung. Some will be comfortable with this minimum, others will add the same amount or twice as much - but both will have a reliable foundation that makes the wardrobe work.

A very rough list of basic wardrobe items

In each individual case, the composition of the wardrobe will be different (some need more dresses, others trousers), but if you are more comfortable focusing on lists (yes for me), then here is the general ratio of items in the basic wardrobe, which I formulated from viewing numerous sets basic wardrobes. ( I remind you again that this is a list just for the base - there can be at least 50 pieces/pairs of T-shirts/pants/sweaters/sandals in the wardrobe, but among them there should be a minimum in which everything goes with everything ). And this minimum is:

Tops - Bottoms (tops/t-shirts/shirt - whatever goes to the body): 3 different items.
Tops - second layer (sweaters and cardigans): 2-3 different items - something thin, something thick, something long: for example, a small tight-fitting cardigan or jumper, a large chunky knit sweater, a duster.
Bottoms: 3 different pieces (more formal and less formal) such as jeans, trousers, skirt.
Versatile quick top: for example, a basic dress or jumpsuit.
Shoes: at least a pair for the season (boots, sandals) + 1 pair of universal comfortable shoes (sneakers, sneakers, timberlands) + 1 pair of universal formal shoes (pumps, pointed ballet flats, patent leather loafers - depending on the overall style).
Tops - third layer (jackets and coats): minimum one item per season
Bags - large/backpack (less formal) and small/clutch (more formal)

Wait a minute, you say, so little? It's a good old capsule! (Not really)

This is a capsule

How is a basic wardrobe different from a wardrobe capsule?

A capsule is a small closed system. . Moreover, additions won’t really help here. There may be several capsules in your wardrobe. A basic wardrobe is precisely a universal skeleton that can be overgrown with meat and supplemented, such a necessary minimum for different occasions, but for it to work fully, not be boring, meet trends or fulfill some other goals, it requires additional accent items that these will not necessarily be combined with each other.

And there is one more important difference.

Basic wardrobe colors

The main paradox of the basic wardrobe is that the more monochrome and boring it is, the more varied combinations can be made with this base.

Therefore, the ideal colors for a basic wardrobe, no matter how punish it may sound, are basic: black, gray, beige, brown, dark blue... And the basic things themselves should be of the simplest possible cut, without unnecessary decorative details that complicate compatibility.

For example, this base, as it may seem at first glance, belongs to a sad bore who, by the end of September, will howl with melancholy in these colors.

But if you remember what it is base, and not the entire wardrobe, then life becomes more fun. When there is a base that matches each other, then you can buy a variety of things that match in color, and they will give many ready-made combinations. So, for example, a pink fur coat from Cheburashka could settle as a dead weight in any wardrobe, but in our case it can be worn with black trousers, and with leather leggings, and with a skirt, and with a white shirt, and with a rough sweater, and with a gray dress - and everything will be fine. Without hesitation, you can take a “banana” bag with any combination of basic things. And even striped flares, which most women will rack their brains over in the store, figuring out what to wear them with, our imaginary bore can easily fit into her wardrobe.

Of course, there are limitations here too. It is unlikely that you will be able to add cute retro to this base (although you can try adding something from the 1920s); it will compete with ethnicity, rustic style, and so on. The set of combinations will still revolve around rock, grunge, pop art and romance, set by colors and basic things. But even in this form this is already a lot, and for most people three or four styles are more than enough to express themselves and not get bored.

(I made this seemingly obvious observation when I went through my entire closet and discovered that there were a lot of great things in it that suited me, but there was not a single simple black top that would allow me to wear all my pants. And only after drawing basic kit in polyvore, I saw things that need to be added).

Yes, as for "add"...

Should a basic wardrobe be expensive?

There are two main strategies for allocating your wardrobe budget (and they both make sense). The first is to invest in basic items, because you will wear them more often than others, which means they should be of the highest quality, and complement them with inexpensive and short-lived trendy or unusual things (which will quickly go out of fashion or just get boring). The second is to use the simplest and most impersonal basic things (including those from the mass market) and quickly change them as they wear out, and create an image with the help of more expensive designer accessories and shoes. ( It is clear that it is even better to be healthy and beautiful, and to have the best everything, but still most of us have to choose).

Both strategies have their own arguments, pros and cons, and only you can determine which one is more appropriate in your case. I can only assume that if your wardrobe is focused on greater display (for some reason you want to emphasize success, belonging to a certain social group, or follow the norms accepted in your circle), then it makes sense to choose more expensive accents (they are more noticeable). If a conservative approach is closer to you and comfort is more valuable, then most likely, investing in the base will give you what you are looking for.

Make Your Style, where it is more convenient: V

Do you know what basic items for a woman's wardrobe go perfectly with any of your clothes? How can you look different every day by adding or changing just one piece of clothing?

Most likely, you have been in a situation where you have a lot of clothes in your closet, but nothing to wear (again!). Or, you buy a new item, and when you get home, you realize that it doesn’t fit well with your wardrobe.

This monotony makes your everyday life even more boring and gray.

And if you try on a new look every day, your mood improves, your confidence and self-love increase. Is it true? In addition, an elegantly dressed girl with a sunny smile always attracts attention.

“Where can I get enough clothes and money to change my look every day?” - this question is most likely ringing in your head right now.

Yes, when creating a basic wardrobe there are also rules. And if you take them into account, then be sure that your daily images, like magnets, will attract the admiring glances of others. All you have to do is enjoy everyone’s attention and interest in yourself.

These are the rules:

Choose basic items in restrained shades that suit your appearance color type: cold or warm. This will help you perfectly harmonize your clothes with each other in color and complement your look with bright details.
Stylists strongly recommend creating a base - using a classic cut in clothes. This way, it will be much easier for you to create fashionable and elegant looks, without a hint of pretentiousness.
Avoid an abundance of decor on the products of your universal base. Choose clothes that are monotonous and calm in design.
When filling your closet with new, versatile pieces, consider your body type. And buy clothes that highlight your strengths and hide your weaknesses.

Since basic items are a universal and long-term contribution to your attractiveness, it is worth choosing quality clothes that will last you for several seasons.

Stylists believe that a woman's wardrobe should consist of 70% basic items and 30% fashionable new items. This ratio will allow you to stay on trend without spending significant amounts on trendy looks.

How to choose the basic color scheme in clothes

In the first rule for choosing a women's basic wardrobe, we wrote that things need to be selected in calm colors that suit your appearance color type. Our online test will help you determine your color type and find out your ideal color palette for clothing.

Stylists, conventionally, divide the colors in clothes into winter and summer shades.

Winter shades are a predominance of dark tones - from black to gray. Dark green, brown, dark blue are also cool winter colors. Winter shades serve to impart rigor, elegance and presence to their owner.

Summer shades contain light, delicate, pastel colors. Such as: white, peach, pink, cream, blue. These shades emphasize femininity, elegance, and softness in your look.

It is important to remember that all basic colors should be chosen in neutral and calm tones. This way you can harmoniously combine them with the bright and fashionable trends of the season. Which will certainly add zest to your image and make you stand out among the drab, bored city dwellers.

We've figured out the basic rules for creating a basic wardrobe. It's time to find out what universal clothing allows you to create a large number of looks for every day.

Your irreplaceable dress No. 1

What dress do you think has remained the main and indispensable part of a basic wardrobe for almost 100 years? Well, of course - the little black dress that the incomparable Coco Chanel gave us!

When choosing your basic dress, pay special attention to its cut. It should be classic. The universal length of such a dress is just above the knees. But, if you are a thin girl with beautiful slender legs, then you can choose a mini. Also, for those with a toned figure, a tight-fitting sheath dress will suit you.

If you are a lady with a body, take a closer look at those styles that will hide your flaws and emphasize your advantages. Perhaps an A-line shift dress will suit you.

In any case, a black dress looks appropriate at business meetings and special events.

What to wear with

Pearls and a little black dress are probably the most perfect combination. It’s no wonder that French women, who are deservedly considered the trendsetters of style, love to dress up like this.

To give a more delicate look, tie a silk scarf around your neck, and you can highlight your waistline with a strap or belt that matches the neck scarf.

To make your look memorable for a long time, you can wear it under a strict black dress. This will highlight your beautiful legs. But here you need to know when to stop. If your tights are too bright and original, the opposite, undesirable effect is possible.

A loose-fitting shirt can be worn with jeans. If you pair this outfit with classic pumps, for example, you will get an interesting formal style. To avoid discomfort when walking around the city, just wear flat shoes.

Plain T-shirt or tank top

In the warm season, this is an indispensable attribute in your closet. It is advisable to have several different lightweight jerseys.

You are unlikely to have any difficulties in choosing a style. The main thing here is that you feel comfortable and comfortable.

The color scheme of your basic lightweight top should be neutral tones. Black, white, gray, brown, beige colors are perfect. This way you can harmoniously combine them with different wardrobe items. And it is important that your basic T-shirts are completely plain, without prints.

By the way, many fashionistas actively supplement their basic set with vests. It is also considered universal and matches many wardrobe items.

What to combine with

A plain T-shirt, T-shirt and vest go well with different clothes. With jeans, shorts, skirts... and even classic trousers.

Lightweight sneakers, sophisticated ballet flats, sandals and high heels will also look good paired with your basic knit top.

It could be a turtleneck, sweater, jumper. It is advisable if your wardrobe contains at least two of the items listed. The first one for cold weather is made of chunky knitted wool. And the second one is made of lighter fabric.

Choose the most restrained shades: black, brown, beige, white, gray….

What to combine with

A long sleeve sweater goes great with jeans. If it's a turtleneck, then throw a jacket over it - you'll get a good ensemble for a working day.

A basic jacket will also look good with a classic bottom (skirt or trousers). To prevent your look from being boring, add bright, memorable accessories (belt, jewelry, handbag).

Cardigan

This item is simply irreplaceable in cool weather. In addition, it fills your feminine image with warmth and comfort.

Like any other basic clothing, choose a cardigan in neutral colors. The style of such an elongated sweater can be different. It all depends on your taste. With a belt or with buttons - it's up to you.

What to wear with

The cardigan goes well with almost any outfit.

Wear it over a shirt or blouse. With trousers or jeans. With a classic skirt and even a dress. Each of these looks will exude elegance and sophistication.

Classic jacket

Even if you don’t wear formal suits, your wardrobe simply must have a fitted classic jacket, cardigan or blazer.

Firstly, it has a positive effect on your posture. A woman in a jacket automatically straightens her back, and her gait becomes beautiful and proud. Accordingly, the figure takes on more graceful outlines, thanks to the cut.

Secondly, the jacket is ideal not only for office style, but also for everyday walks with loved ones. And even at the grocery store, you'll look appropriate in a classic fitted blazer.

When choosing a color, focus on shades such as black, dark blue, gray. Pay attention to the buttons of the jacket. They should not be too conspicuous - otherwise it will be difficult for you to choose accessories. It’s good if you choose a model with so-called invisible buttons.

What to wear with

To create a business style, combine a jacket with a classic skirt or trousers. This look must include pumps. If your jacket has a chest pocket, you can put a scarf or other appropriate accessory there.

Do you want to go out with friends on a weekend evening? Wear an ensemble of a loose jacket or T-shirt, with jeans and, to keep warm, throw on a blazer. Ballet flats, sneakers or pumps are suitable as shoes.

Basic bottom: what to choose

To harmoniously complement your top basic set of things, you need to have a universal bottom. These are trousers and skirts that will perfectly match your wardrobe and help you create elegant, perfect looks.

Stylists distinguish three main types of basic bottoms in clothing. These are classic trousers, jeans and a pencil skirt. Let's go through each thing separately.

Regular fit trousers

Classic trousers are an indispensable staple of your basic wardrobe. They are ideal for creating a large number of stylish and feminine looks. Looks that will make you look great both on weekdays and on weekends.

There are enough styles of classic trousers to accurately choose one that suits your figure. Tapered models suit tall, slender girls, while straight or slightly flared ones suit curvy ladies.

If your ankles are thin and graceful, feel free to choose cropped trousers, capri pants or culottes. If, on the other hand, you have full ankles, stick to a standard length when purchasing pants.

Choose black or navy blue to easily create new stylish looks.

What to combine with

You can pair classic trousers with almost any outfit. For example, for a business meeting or to the office, you can wear a composition consisting of a light blouse or shirt, a jacket and the trousers themselves. This is the most common option.

If your work dress code is not particularly strict, then instead of a jacket, you can wear a cardigan or jacket. The image will be softer and more comfortable.

A great option for walking, this is a combination of trousers with a sweatshirt and sneakers. Just choose a sweatshirt without obvious sporting attributes. The fewer inscriptions, stripes and patterns on the sweatshirt, the better.

In cool weather, you can wear a knitted sweater with trousers. If it's a summer evening, then wear ballet flats, and if it's late spring or early autumn, wear boots.

Dark blue jeans

Every modern girl has at least a pair of denim pants in her wardrobe. This attribute is so popular that absolutely every person in the world wears it, starting from a very young age. And it’s not surprising that jeans are on the list of basic items in a woman’s wardrobe.

Your versatile jeans should be dark blue. You can have other colors, but this one is a must have in your wardrobe.

The cut is classic, without unnecessary details in the design. That is, without rhinestones, abrasions, stripes and holes. The style of jeans, like trousers, is chosen according to the structure of the figure. Straight models suit some people, skinny ones with a high or low waist for others.

What to wear with

Classic cut jeans go perfectly with absolutely any shoes.

For walks, you can choose a sweatshirt or T-shirt, jeans and sneakers. You can combine jeans with blouses or shirts, combined with ballet flats.

For work, a look consisting of a jacket, blouse, jeans and high-heeled shoes is well suited. If desired, the jacket can be replaced with a cardigan or jumper with buttons.

Jeans also go well with boots of any height.

Pencil skirt

This feminine product has a number of undeniable advantages.

Firstly, it will always be in trend. Because it is an unshakable classic.

Secondly, a pencil skirt magically shapes your silhouette, making the curves of your hips even more attractive.

Thirdly, it easily and simply harmonizes with any detail from your wardrobe. This allows you to create a huge number of different styles for every day.

When choosing a classic skirt, do not forget that it should also be a neutral color. For example, beige, gray, black or dark blue. Avoid excessive decoration on the product. The simpler the model, the better.

The length of the skirt can be 5-10 cm above or below the knee. Or be up to the knee. Whether you choose a very narrow or loose fit depends on your body type. Those with curvy hips should take a closer look at looser models. And for skinny girls, tight-fitting styles are suitable.

The most important thing when choosing a skirt is that it fits your figure perfectly. Otherwise, you will have to constantly pull it back and correct it. And this will have a very negative impact on your entire image.

What to combine with

The pencil skirt harmonizes perfectly with both light blouses and knitted jumpers, cardigans, and sweaters.

And in combination with a fitted jacket, it will highlight your circumference and bring your figure closer to the hourglass type.

What outerwear always remains in trend and in the basic women's wardrobe?

For the cooler months, you also need to have one or two basic pieces in your closet. This could be an insulated coat or a light raincoat. And it’s better if there is both.

Classic-cut raincoat

By choosing a raincoat of good quality and in a classic style, you will wear it for many years and at the same time always remain fashionable. In addition, this item can be worn in spring, autumn and even summer (on cool days).

White, black, brown, gray, beige are the basic colors for a raincoat. The optimal length is just above the knee. A basic coat should be fitted and have a belt with a buckle, a double row of buttons at the front and a slit at the back.

Coat

Just like a cloak, it serves its owner for more than two seasons. Provided that it is made of high-quality natural materials, such as cashmere or wool. And has a classic cut.

Basic colors - black, white, gray, beige, light brown. The basic length of the coat is 5-10 cm below the knee.

What to wear with

The coat and raincoat look great with any shoes. Be it sneakers or legendary pumps. And also low boots or boots below the knee.

It is important that your outerwear is in harmony in style with other parts of your basic wardrobe: trousers, jeans, pencil skirt and little black dress.

Every fashionista's must-have versatile shoe

Basic shoes will help you create a complete stylish look. Stylists identify three main pairs of shoes that should definitely be in every fashionista's closet.

Pumps

Pumps, which never lose their popularity, will perfectly complement your outfit with their elegance. They are ideal for business style, and also perfectly suit everyday looks.

The best choice would be beige or black shoes. By the way, nude-colored shoes visually make your legs slimmer and longer. And they look perfect with any look. Black is also universal, but in some cases, it can fall out of the overall picture of an elegant look.

Choose matte models made of genuine leather. They are more versatile than lacquered ones. This means they will fit harmoniously into any of your outfits.

For convenience, stylists advise having two pairs of shoes. One, with high heels, for going out. The other, with a small comfortable heel, is for everyday wear.

Ballet shoes

Not every woman can walk in high heels every day. In addition, orthopedists advise wearing high-heeled shoes only 3-4 hours a day. Naturally, your legs need rest. And ballet shoes are a universal lifesaver for the health of your feet. They also elegantly emphasize your femininity.

When choosing ballet shoes (like any other shoes), approach them as responsibly as possible. They should not only be beautiful, but also comfortable. It’s good if the ballet shoes are made of natural material: leather or suede.

Color range of neutral shades: cream, white, black, gray. Without a variety of decor.

Boots or boots

For the cool season, you should definitely have shoes or boots with stable heels. It is better to choose boots with ankle height, and boots - 5 cm below the knee.

The color is better to choose black. The abundance of straps, studs and other decor should be excluded. The material is naturally natural and of good quality.

What to wear with

Any of the above pairs of shoes looks perfect with a classic-cut raincoat or coat. Even with ballet flats, you can throw on this outerwear on cool summer evenings.

Pumps and boots go great with a classic pantsuit. This strict style is ideal for business negotiations, a working day in the office and even for special occasions.

For everyday walks, pair iconic pumps, ballet flats or boots with jeans. You can wear a blouse with a jacket or cardigan over it. A turtleneck, jumper, long jacket or universal T-shirt will also harmonize perfectly.

Pumps and heeled boots go best with a little black dress or pencil skirt. In some cases, you can replace heels with ballet flats.

A dress is generally considered the most feminine item in a girl’s wardrobe. And pumps and ballet flats go perfectly with different styles of dresses.

Conclusion

Well, now you know what basic items are simply irreplaceable for a woman’s wardrobe. How to combine them with each other to get many impeccable images and amaze others with your elegance. Choose the right clothes and always be on top!

Finally, we have collected all the basic things in a list to make it easier for you to remember them.

Selection of analogue models

Having studied the prospects for fashion trends in the dress assortment, an analytical study was carried out on products of similar assortments developed by Russian and foreign designers.

The presented models are analogues selected from fashion magazines. They correspond in form and design to fashion trends.

Red evening dresses are trendy today.

Rice.

An asymmetrical neckline on one shoulder is very popular in evening dresses - an asymmetrical cut of the bottom of the dress.

Rice. 2.

Rice. 3.

This season, the emphasis is on color, pattern, texture, fabrics and accessories. Decor must be used in the dress. Dresses with sequins look very original. Lace trim. Gold-colored dresses are trendy this season.

Rice. 4

When developing a collection of dresses, you should pay attention to the relevance of the color scheme and the figure of the girl for whom this dress is intended and what color type of appearance she belongs to.

Selection of materials

At all times, fashion has dictated to us what to wear, what makeup to choose, how to comb our hair. The choice of materials for costumes plays an important role in the production process of a collection.

In addition to the fashion for clothes, there is also a fashion for fabrics, on which, perhaps, the relevance of the outfit largely depends, since even the most fashionable style of dress can be hopelessly ruined if you choose the wrong fabric. The latest trends allow you not to make a mistake in your choice, but do not limit it either.

Fabrics are conventionally divided into casual and luxurious. Sometimes fashion dictates to abandon boring everyday options and brings holiday charm to everyday life.

To create a collection of evening dresses with the motto “Movement of Life”, you need fabrics that create movement on the figure:

Taffeta is an elegant, crisp fabric, dense to the touch, with a characteristic, pronounced structure - a rib on the surface, a “dry” ink and an unobtrusive shine. Rigidity is imparted by finishing (chemical treatment) and therefore taffeta wrinkles a lot. Another drawback is friability and tendency to shrink, which must be taken into account when cutting.

It’s worth talking about each of these elements of clothing for a woman’s look separately and figuring out what characteristics this or that item should have.

Light blouse

Most women are not completely happy with their body and want to hide flaws and highlight advantages with the help of clothes. By choosing the right colors and cut, you can easily correct problem areas, delicately hiding them from prying eyes. One of the easiest ways is to use black and white colors.

For example, women with a pear shape should give preference to a dark bottom. The ideal option would be pipe trousers made of lightweight material. It is worth remembering that dense fleecy fabrics add volume.

For thin girls, such trousers, on the contrary, are unacceptable. Black color will only emphasize thinness and attract additional attention. In order to hide this flaw, it is worth choosing lighter colors. Volumetric fabrics such as velvet and velor will help balance the proportions of the body.

For short ladies, items with a high waistline are suitable. They will visually add length to the legs and give a more elongated appearance.
