As for underwear, it must also be carefully analyzed and tried on, and left only if:

  • the straps of a bra or bodysuit do not cut into the shoulders, and wide straps are more suitable for large breasts;
  • bra cups fit the chest well, not allowing it to stick out from the sides or from below;
  • the length of the straps is such that the bra just lifts and supports the chest;

But, before you go to the store to buy new models of clothes, think about which option is closer to you?

  1. A closet full of various women's clothing, but at the same time you are constantly tormented by the question "What to wear?"
  2. At first glance, there are not so many things, but they are all perfectly combined with each other, and there is no end to your outfits.

The first situation happens mainly for the following reasons:

All your clothing models have been purchased:

  • at sales (“Oh! what a discount! Yes, and my size, I’ll take it, perhaps”);
  • impulsively ("Blouse-otpad! And what if it comes in handy!");
  • because it is fashionable (“I simply have to buy this hit of the season”);
  • persuaded ("And nothing color, take it!");
  • I finally need to buy something (“I don’t have a single skirt in my wardrobe, I have to buy it”);
  • they gave me a salary (“I need to buy something for myself!”);
  • other options are also possible.

Certainly, sensible woman makes his choice in favor of the second option. In this case, you need to remember a few basic rules:

  1. Make up your wardrobe exclusively from mutually compatible things that will complement each other. How to do it? There are two main conditions for this: simplicity of styles and a single color scheme that best suits your appearance color type.
  2. Without stylish, tastefully selected women's accessories for your clothing models, it will not be possible to create an interesting, attractive, memorable look.

  • tailoring quality must be impeccable

Learned the basic rules for shopping for fashionable women's clothing. Go ahead.

Step 3. Clothes for an economical wardrobe

Now let's answer a specific question - where to start choosing clothes for a new wardrobe?

Firstly, it would be nice to choose the so-called "primary color" of your future wardrobe. Here, each woman, of course, has her own priorities, but it is necessary that the color be to the face, belong to neutral or near-neutral shades, since it will be present in almost all combinations of your wardrobe. It also does not hurt to remember your color type. Neutral colors include black, white, beige, sand, etc. Near-neutral colors include gray, brown, dark blue, cherry, etc.

Secondly, choose a straight comfortable plain dress, suitable shade. The material for the dress can be linen, cotton, wool - it all depends on local weather conditions. The style of the dress is also selected taking into account the features of the figure. We emphasize the advantages as much as possible and hide the shortcomings. Immediately, on the spot, we choose a jacket or cardigan for the dress, knowing for sure that we will wear it with other things too. This means that the length of the jacket should not be higher than the waist line.

Third, we buy ourselves a plain two-piece suit of the same neutral color. The basic rule is that the top and bottom of the suit should be made from the same fabric. Again, we select the style of the skirt and blouse, taking into account the features of the figure.

Fourth, we get another two-piece suit, but already multi-colored. Here we adhere to the following points:

  • in the pattern of the fabric, your main color of the wardrobe, as well as other colors, must be present;
  • the top and bottom of the suit must be sewn, again, from the same fabric;
  • the design of the costume can be absolutely anything, but it will have to match the rest of your clothes;
  • the cut of a multi-colored suit may differ from the cut of a monophonic one; instead of a skirt, there may be trousers;
  • when choosing a suit, remember that we will combine its elements both with the first suit and with the jacket.

Fifth, it's time to choose the second primary color, which should be combined with the first, that is, if the first color was black, then the second will be, for example, gray. We select a sweater (blazer), as well as a skirt or trousers of this color. These things should go well with each other, but do not aim for them to be the same. You can vary with the texture of the fabric.

Next, we select for ourselves two or three tops of one of the colors of our multi-colored suit, but completely different fabrics and styles. There may be buttons, zippers, collars, straps. In any case, all this will be combined with the things already selected. We add a couple more skirts or trousers to everything, again using one of the colors of the multicolor suit.

Thus, we get

  • dress
  • jacket
  • neutral two-piece suit
  • a multi-coloured two-piece suit that will set the tone for your wardrobe and go with everything else
  • blazer or sweater
  • a pair of trousers/skirts in the second base color with an interesting structure
  • several blouses / tops / blouses in a neutral color that can be worn with any things

All this can be combined with each other, giving out many options, especially if you choose the right women's accessories and jewelry. Or add new things in other neutral colors or multi-colored.

Step 4. Clothing patterns for an economical wardrobe. Option two

The first selection of clothing models is here.

Having a limited amount of money, you can create the impression of a very extensive wardrobe. To do this, it is necessary to keep all purchased clothing models in one color scheme, consisting of two tones.

What will it give you?

Firstly, absolutely all your clothing models will be mutually compatible. Thus, having shown a little imagination, you will always look stylish and unique, and others will get the impression that you just have a huge wardrobe.

Secondly By choosing simple, classic clothes without unnecessary details, you will create a wardrobe that will be relevant for several seasons, saving a lot of money.

Third, You will no longer doubt whether it is worth wearing certain things together or not, as you will have a fully compatible wardrobe.

So that a wardrobe designed in just two colors does not turn out to be boring and nondescript, adhere to the following rules:

  1. Choose two colors (primary and secondary), which, firstly, suit your type of appearance or color type, and secondly, are fashionable and relevant.
  2. Stick to your chosen shades exactly, you don't need to choose things "almost the same tone" or "close to the chosen one" - otherwise your clothes will not be completely mutually compatible.
  3. When choosing clothing models, pay attention not only to plain fabrics, but also striped fabrics, polka dots, checks, floral patterns - everything that suits your appearance, but stick to the chosen two tones.
  4. Experiment with textures and types of fabrics. If you like knitted or knitted things - feel free to take it. Suede, leather, tweed, boucle, corduroy, etc. - thanks to them, the wardrobe will become even more diverse.
  5. Do not forget about the wide variety of different women's accessories. Neckerchiefs, belts, bags, shoes, jewelry and much more will help to make female image interesting, unique and memorable.

We offer several options for win-win color combinations, choose the color pair that suits your appearance color type, or come up with your own.

  • black and white;
  • dark blue and gray;
  • black and light gray;
  • black and walnut;
  • dark blue and white;
  • dark cherry and white;
  • red and white;
  • Red and black;
  • chocolate and beige;
  • light brown and cream;
  • gray plus lilac, etc.

Thus, thanks to this approach to the selection of clothes for your new wardrobe, you will create your own unique style, spend less money and, moreover, all your clothes will be perfectly combined with each other!

Step 5. Spectacular evening dress at no extra cost

Almost every woman, regardless of her age and social status, faces situations when it is simply necessary to look especially elegant and attractive. For some women, such situations happen very often, for others the opportunity to "go out" is extremely rare, however, both the first and second will feel especially confident in a well-chosen evening dress.

When a woman has fairly large financial opportunities, as a rule, she does not special work choose your evening dress. She can afford to choose outfits for each specific occasion. But what about those who have more modest financial opportunities, or priorities in the family are set differently (perhaps most of the funds go to educate children, or support their parents, etc.).

If you belong to the second category of women, then it would be most reasonable for you to follow the following tips:

Tip 1. Instead of buying evening dress, give preference to two or three elements of an evening suit, which can later be combined with each other. To get started, purchase, for example, an elegant evening velvet skirt or velvet trousers.

Tip 2. Complement this skirt or trousers with a beautiful, shiny, low-cut top, and the evening outfit is ready.

Tip 3. For another occasion, you can purchase a spectacular blouse made of satin or guipure for the same skirt or trousers - that’s perfect for you new version evening wear.

Tip 4. And for a new blouse, if necessary, you can buy, for example, chiffon trousers.

Tip 5 When buying evening wear, you seem to be leading a single chain and, moreover, save money, since a skirt or blouse is much cheaper than an evening dress.

Tip 6 To make your clothes perfectly match each other, choose the classics without unnecessary additional details. Simplicity and elegance are your true friend.

Tip 7. It's no secret that evening colors are mostly dark colors. First of all, of course, black is the color of nobility and sophistication and elegance. No less spectacular is the red color - the sexiest color. Very good for the evening: dark blue, dark green, dark cherry, burgundy. But best solution there will be a choice of the main color for the evening wardrobe from the palette of shades most suitable for your appearance.

However, it will be easier for you to choose an evening dress if you take into account a few recommendations.

A few tips for choosing an evening dress for a full woman:

  1. The first step in choosing a stunning evening dress is taking your measurements. It is better to entrust such a thing to a professional - for example, in the same store for full ones for a small price they will definitely help you. But, if you prefer to measure yourself, then it is better to use a vinyl or cloth meter for measurements and be sure to measure over your underwear. Measure your waist, hips, bust and write down your measurements in inches (1 inch = 2.5 cm) and centimeters.
  2. When choosing an evening dress, remember that they hide perfectly excess weight in the abdomen, thighs and legs ball dresses. If you have puffy chest, pay attention to V-necklines, if you want to look slimmer - choose an A-line dress. Use various accents to draw attention to the advantages of your figure, such as frills, ruffles, etc.
  3. Remember that evening clothes are usually one or two sizes smaller than everyday clothes, so when choosing an evening dress, be guided not by the size, but by the parameters of your figure.
  4. Do not be discouraged if the first time you do not find anything suitable for yourself, keep looking. Let you spend some time looking for an evening dress, but in the end you will find a dress in which you will be irresistible and feel great.

The dream of every woman is to look perfect, but nature has not awarded everyone with perfect proportions. Often an outfit that looks great on a mannequin may look different on a real person. The thing is that everyone has their own, special body structure. Some have a narrow pelvis and broad shoulders, others have rounded hips and a poorly defined waist, and others have a small bust but large buttocks.

Each figure has both advantages and disadvantages. the best way their correct is the choice of clothing according to the type of figure.

The owners of this type of figure are distinguished by wide hips, a noticeable waistline and small narrow shoulders.

To visually correct the figure, it is necessary to focus on the upper body and expand the shoulders. You should choose outfits with a dark bottom and a light top. Clothing for the pear figure type should have a voluminous top, puffy sleeves, shoulder pads, deep cuts and decorative details on the bodice.

Things with a boat neckline or a square neckline will help to visually expand the shoulders. Suitable clothes with breast pockets, trousers and skirts with a loose fit and made of thin fabrics, dresses with a cut-off waist and an extended bottom.

What to avoid:

  1. It is not recommended to choose jackets or blouses that end at the widest part of the buttocks or hips, they must be higher or lower than it.
  2. Do not wear tight blouses or blouses.
  3. Tulip skirts will add volume to the hips.
  4. Avoid extra details on skirts or trousers and things with straps that connect at the neck or tie at the back.

Suitable clothing examples:

The owners of this type of figure have a rounded shoulder line, not very lush hips, slender legs, a poorly defined waist, often wider than the hips and shoulders.

In this case, the main problem area is the middle of the body. It is necessary to visually stretch the body and focus on the neckline and legs. It is recommended to give preference to things with a straight silhouette.

A sheath dress would be a winning option. A simple straight cut and no sleeves will balance the silhouette. They help to visually stretch the figure of a dress with a high waist, they will hide the stomach and emphasize the chest. Asymmetric, oblique and trapezoidal models will help to lengthen the body. Dresses are recommended to choose monophonic.

For women with such a figure, knitwear, blouses that fit the chest and are loose at the waist, as well as jackets that are hip-length, are suitable. On all things, additional details should be located at the top of the bodice, or below the hips. It is worth choosing clothes from soft, draping, flowing fabrics. From trousers fit wide with an overestimated or underestimated waist.

What to avoid:

  1. It is not recommended to choose loose or tight-fitting outfits.
  2. Bulky and puffy sleeves will look bad.
  3. Clothes made of hard and dense fabrics will give the figure extra volume.
  4. Do not create accents in the waist area, for example, wear belts.
  5. It is better to refuse outfits with large prints and horizontal stripes, they will only add volume to problem areas.
  6. Avoid contrasts between top and bottom.
  7. Not suitable for short and tight skirts.

Suitable clothing examples:

Clothing for hourglass body type

This type of figure is considered the most proportional. Its owners have an equal width of shoulders and hips, a clearly defined waist and chest line.

It is better to choose clothes for the hourglass figure type that will emphasize the waist and demonstrate the smooth curves of the body. Almost any outfit will suit this type. The main thing is that their cut repeats the lines of the figure, but things that will be characterized by fluidity, lightness, and waviness will look better. To emphasize the waist, it is recommended to use belts. Favorably highlight the hips of pencil skirts.

What to avoid:

  1. Avoid straight-cut clothing.
  2. Too tight clothes are not recommended.
  3. Rigid, dense fabrics will make the figure fuller than in reality.
  4. Avoid things with large patterns and clear geometric motifs.

Suitable clothing examples:

The owners of this type of figure are distinguished by narrow shoulders and hips, a poorly defined waist and flat buttocks.

It is necessary to create the appearance of rounded shapes and soften the angularity of the figure. You should choose clothing models that will help define the line of the hips and emphasize the waist. Semi-adjacent things will cope with the task, repeating the outlines of the figure, making a soft emphasis on the waist. Undercuts, decorative seams, folds, pockets located on the hips, converging to the waist, contrasting bottom and top will help create a shape.

Since clothing for a rectangle body type should indicate the waist line, it is recommended to wear belts and belts. Wide models distract attention, while thin ones emphasize the waist. Nai in the best way they will present the figure of a dress or skirt that creates volume in the hip area, for example, a tulip skirt, things with draperies or peplums.

From trousers it is better to choose models with folds at the waist, narrowed to the bottom, straight, flared from the hips. Patch pockets at the back will help visually add volume to the buttocks.

What to avoid:

  1. It is best to avoid tight clothing.
  2. Do not pick up things from thin flowing fabrics.
  3. Clothes cut on the bias will not work.
  4. It is not recommended to wear elongated cardigans and jackets.
  5. Models of elasticated skirts will not look the best.

Suitable clothing examples:

This type of figure, which is also called "T", is distinguished by the presence of straight, expressive shoulders, larger in size than the hips. The waist is poorly defined, and the lower part seems much smaller than the upper.

Clothing for a triangle body type should add volume to the hips and visually reduce the shoulders. Fit things or sets with a tight-fitting top and a flared or fluffy bottom. It is recommended to choose outfits in which there is an emphasis on the hips in the form of draperies, ruffles and bows. To add volume to the lower honor will help a light bottom in combination with a dark top. Things with a V-neck, a soft round neck and an American armhole will look good.

When choosing models of dresses, it is worth considering the height: for short women, the length of the mini is suitable, and for tall women it is worth choosing outfits up to or just above the knee.

What to avoid:

  1. Puffy or flared sleeves, draperies and ruffles in the shoulder area will add more volume to the upper part.
  2. Tight-fitting and monophonic things will not work.
  3. From tight skirts, especially narrowed to the bottom, should be abandoned.
  4. It is not recommended to wear clothes that have a large pattern at the top.
  5. It is worth abandoning things with wide collars and a large, round neck.

Suitable clothing examples:

Every woman knows that finding clothes that will fit her perfectly is very, very, very, very, very, very difficult (especially jeans).

What to look for when choosing clothes, so that later it would not be a shame for the time and money spent on choosing?

Pants and trousers

When choosing trousers or pants, there should be enough room in the waistband so that you can safely stick two fingers in there. This gives you plenty of room to "manoeuvre".

Christine O'Donnell, boutique manager at the Madame Paulette Museum, says women's sizes can fluctuate a little depending on the day and even the time of day. And if you suddenly have puffiness, there should be some free space in your pants.

Remember this rule if you don't want to get into an awkward situation when your pants come apart at the seam in the most piquant places at the most inopportune time;)

Also, do not forget that:

  • If your pants are wrinkling or puckering at the front of your thighs, they are too tight. If the fabric of your trousers puffs up like sails when you sit down, then they are too loose for you.
  • Don't worry if the pockets look a little weird and funny. Even if you have chosen the perfect pants, the cut of the pockets has its own specific features and they will always bulge a little while sitting. If they bother you too much, you can easily get rid of them. To do this, you just need to find a good seamstress.
  • The length is easy to change. You can always cut them to the desired length. The recommended length is 2.5 cm from the floor if you want to show off your shoes, or about 7 mm from the floor if you have wide pants and you like it when they practically reach the floor.

Blazer

When choosing a blazer, first of all, you need to pay attention to how it sits on your shoulders. To do this, you need to stretch your arms forward and arch your back. If it's too tight, try a size up. If you prefer to wear your blazer open, disregard the discomfort that can occur after you button it all the way down.

  • The shoulder straps should be straight on your shoulder and not slide down onto your arms. If the seam strip extends beyond the shoulder, the blazer will be too big and loose.
  • The length of the sleeve can be different - it all depends on your preferences. Cuffs can be a couple of centimeters below the wrist or above.

Jeans

As I said above, jeans are my pain and sorrow. And I'm not alone in this. Finding the perfect jeans is tricky because every company sews to a specific pattern and it's not guaranteed that you will fit.

When choosing jeans, remember that:

  • The fabric must be of high quality and sufficiently elastic. Since most fabrics now contain lycra or spandex, which means that they will stretch over time. This happens because heat badly affects the fabric and over time it loses some of its original qualities. In order to avoid this, it is advisable to wash them in not very hot water and do not dry them on a radiator.
  • In most cases, we shorten purchased jeans, and in order for this not to be noticeable, ask the dressmaker to shorten them and sew on their "native" hem.

Shirt

When choosing a shirt, pay attention to how the seams look when you put it on. They must remain flat. You also need to look at how the gaps between the buttons look when you fasten it. If the distance between the buttons is too large, and you like the blouse, this is not a reason to refuse it. You can always sew inconspicuous hooks into the gaps.

It is also worth remembering that:

  • The cuffs should fall just below the wrists and peek out a little from the sleeves of your blazer.
  • Make sure the shirt fits well on your hips. If they are too full, a fully buttoned shirt will bulge. Therefore, before making a final purchase decision, walk around the dressing room a bit and see how it will behave on your body.

Dress

Just like with a blazer, your shoulders are the hanger for your dress. The next place to pay special attention to when choosing a dress is your hips. And if you choose the right dress, then it will sit well both on your shoulders and on your hips, since they are on the same straight line.

It is also worth remembering that:

    The bust line should be in place. If it doesn't suit your proportions, it's better to find yourself another dress.
  • The same applies to the waistline - it is better not to buy dresses with a built-in waistline. In order to make sure whether it suits you or not, stand up and bend over first to one side, then to the other. In place of the bend and will be your waist. Dresses without a built-in waist fit almost any figure.

Proper clothing greatly enhances self-confidence. If you are uncomfortable or cannot find the right clothes it's time to find the perfect outfit. There is no exact formula for the perfect outfit, but you can choose what you feel comfortable in. The ideal outfit will be different for each person, so you will have to try on a lot of clothing options and dilute the look with accessories. Have fun with the process and don't be afraid to experiment.

Steps

Part 1

Tidy up your closet

    Throw away clothes you no longer wear. A large amount of unnecessary clothes is a headache for many. Sort through all your clothes to decide which pieces to give away, which ones to sell, and which ones to keep. If you don't know what to keep and what to throw away, ask you:

    • Does it still suit me?
    • Can this be put on right now?
    • Are you sure about the following statements?
    • Do I feel good in these clothes?
    • Is there any chance that I will wear it again?
  1. Redo your old clothes. Review all the old clothes that you haven't thrown away but rarely wear. You can use clothing pieces to make something new out of them. A classic example is cutting off old jeans and making shorts out of them. But you can make a lot more unique clothes out of old clothes. Try the following:

  2. Sort out the shoes. You should have shoes for all occasions. To make it easier, make sure you have shoes for work (dressy or casual), sports, everyday, and formal occasions. For example, you will need:

    • For an active lifestyle: sneakers, boots
    • For formal occasions: heels, stilettos
    • For every day: sandals, boots, moccasins and flats
  3. Pick up outerwear. Hang all your jackets, scarves and hats in a prominent place. You will need to do this every 4 months before the start of the next season. Winter outerwear is very different from spring or summer. Here are some examples of what you will need:

    • Winter: a warm coat(for example, woolen), voluminous warm scarf, beret or hat
    • Spring: jackets (for example, knitwear), cardigans, pullovers, blazers, felt hat
    • Summer: light jackets (e.g. denim), baseball caps
  4. Collect accessories. Find all your glasses, jewelry, bags, belts, ties and watches. These accessories are the necessary touches to your look, so try to diversify it. Look for accessories in stores, antique stores, and garage sales. You must have:

    • Sunglasses: a pair of plain black, tortoiseshell, bright and aviator
    • Jewelry: earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, watches, cufflinks
    • Belts: Plain black or brown belt, or wide patterned belt
  5. Change the style. Try something else. Pay attention to clothes of different textures, colors and patterns. If you don't plan on buying new clothes, try matching things you haven't matched before. You can find a new combination that will freshen up your look.

    • Go against the rules of fashion. Try pairing bright or patterned clothing, or mix and match different textures to give a new twist to old pieces.

    Part 2

    The combination of outfits
    1. Consider an event or day. The right outfit should be appropriate for the specific day or upcoming event. If you're going to the gym, then you'll need activewear. If you are going to a meeting, then take a classic suit. For an evening event, you should choose dressy style only if it is not a party at your place where you can be in comfortable clothes.

      • Don't be surprised if you have to change clothes throughout the day, depending on your occupation. Just be ready for it and change according to your needs.
    2. Consider the weather. Your wardrobe should already be in season, but you should also consider the weather during the day. You don't need to wear a warm wool suit if it's 32 degrees outside. Also you will regret if you wear light dress when it's snowing outside.

      • Check the weather forecast the day before or look out the window before getting dressed. It's better to be safe if you don't know what the weather will be like. Take an umbrella, put on a cardigan, or take a change of shoes with you if you are afraid that the weather might change.
    3. Choose the main detail of your image. Focus on one piece of clothing you want to wear and build your entire look around it. For example, you can choose a colored tie or a bright blazer. To give the image simplicity, choose only one bright thing.

      • Don't worry about wanting to add accessories. The purpose of accessories is to emphasize the outfit in such a way that one can avoid merging into one color patch of the same type of clothing (for example, a striped shirt with striped trousers and a striped tie).
    4. Wear outerwear that complements your outfit. After choosing the main part of the outfit, choose outerwear that will emphasize your style. Avoid a complete combination of colors in clothes. Such an outfit will not look harmonious. Instead, focus on the main detail of your wardrobe.

      • For example, if you chose a bright navy blue blazer, you can pair it with a simple white shirt and brown pants. Or if you have chosen a yellow flowery skirt, then you should wear blue or denim shirt, instead of pairing it with a yellow or colored blouse.
    5. Wear suitable footwear. Any perfect outfit will look out of place if you're wearing the wrong shoes. Be sure to consider weather conditions. Do not forget that you should be as comfortable as possible. For example, it is quite obvious that when you go for a walk, you should wear running shoes. Or maybe you should consider the circumstances of a particular day. For example, if you're wearing a simple dress that goes well with both heels and flats, but you have multiple appointments throughout the day, it's best to choose shoes that you'll be comfortable in.

      • If you plan to be on your feet for a long time, you can take several pairs of shoes with you at once so that you can change your shoes.
    6. Try adding accessories. You can accentuate your outfit by adding an interesting accessory such as cufflinks or a scarf. This will help make your outfit more interesting or add color to it. A simple scarf will help balance your look in a bright outfit. Don't be afraid to try several options until you find the right one.

      • When adding jewelry, do not wear too many of the same products. You will look too pretentious in them.
    7. Wear your chosen outfits. By picking up a few outfits that you really like, you can easily stick to this style in the future. This way you will significantly speed up your morning preparations, but if you wish, you can look elegant or stand out from the crowd. Make sure you dress up to date. Avoid graphic T-shirts or sweatshirts that you wore 20 years ago. To keep more modern style choose:

      • Leather bracelet or classic watch.
      • A casual sweater and a white or colored shirt underneath.
      • Apply more bright makeup, highlighting the eyes or lips (but not both at the same time).
      • Wear smarter shoes than usual.
      • Add some perfume or cologne.
    • The colors of individual items in your image should not be mixed with each other. Wearing black trousers, black shoes and a black top, it is better to choose a colored shirt or change shoes.
