A woman's wardrobe plays an important role, with its help you can emphasize your own individuality, highlight the advantages of your figure and give your appearance the necessary style. Summer clothes for women are selected more carefully, they must meet all the necessary requirements: be light, fashionable, universal, hide flaws and add that very necessary "zest" to the image.
Basic wardrobe
A basic wardrobe is a real find for women. It is enough to have relevant and popular things that can be combined with each other, and thus be harmonious in any situation. Before choosing basic things, it is necessary to take into account the woman's age and preferred style of clothing.
The main nuances when choosing women's clothing for the summer:
- Basic clothing should be of a universal cut;
- Have a neutral or accent color;
- Fit harmoniously on the figure, be of the right style;
- Match the woman's individual style.
A suitable list of things for a basic upper wardrobe:
- Short sleeve blouse/shirt – which item is useful in any combination and for any situation, depending on the prints and type of fasteners (buttons or zip). In addition, such a top is great for the entire age range – from young ladies to ladies over sixty;
- T-shirt - it can be selected for any style and inclination, taking into account the style, color and print of the product. It is better to choose loose T-shirts, chiffon or cotton - you can "play" with them endlessly;
- A sleeveless top/tank top is an essential piece of clothing for a casual look. These can be knitted t-shirts for the street or linen/silk ones for work. Of course, for women over 50, this basic wardrobe item will not be appropriate, so it is designed more for girls;
- Dress/sundress.
Basic summer bottoms:
- Trousers - it is enough to buy 1 pair of trousers in a neutral color in order to later choose trendy looks with them;
- Skirt – it’s better to have 2 basic skirts – a denim skirt for every day and a pencil skirt for formal events;
- Shorts/breeches - the main thing is to choose them in a pastel color so that they can be combined with any top in the future;
- Jeans – for the summer, it is better to buy jeans made of thin material, which are perfect for evenings. Ripped fabric and boyfriend jeans are in fashion now.
For cool evenings, a cardigan has become a popular item of clothing - it can be perfectly combined with any look and style, it will not only keep you warm in bad weather, but also add sophistication and comfort to your appearance.
The Best Fabrics for Hot Days
Summer clothes should be made of suitable material. The fabric should be light, natural, antibacterial and hygroscopic, which absorbs moisture well, lets air through and dries quickly. The skin should be protected from overheating and irritation.
For light clothing, the natural composition of the fabric and the fibers from which the item is made are important. Natural fibers are cotton, linen, silk, hemp, ramie and wool. The following are made from such materials:
- Shorts and trousers;
- Blouses, shirts;
- T-shirts, tops, tank tops;
- Sundresses, tunics, dresses;
- Overalls;
- Headwear.
Synthetic threads can be added to natural fibers, this can only improve the characteristics of things: they will not wrinkle as much and are wear-resistant. When choosing summer women's clothing, you should give preference to the following fabrics:
- Chintz;
- Viscose;
- Batiste;
- Guipure;
- Satin;
- Chiffon;
- Chambray.
In the summer, clothing requires special attention, so it is necessary to choose wear-resistant, easy-to-care-for materials that will not lose their attractiveness after repeated washing.
Nuances of the figure
There are many hidden pitfalls in women's clothing that seem trivial at first glance. A summer look can easily be weighed down or made awkward if you do not take into account the nuances of your figure when choosing clothes. There is no magic clothing that will make a woman ideal, but with its help you can play with your own appearance:
- Height - to visually shorten a couple of extra centimeters, you need to choose trousers/jeans with a low waist, as well as skirts with frills. Large bags and large accessories will help to complete the image. The color scheme should not be monochromatic, the print does not matter. For girls who want to be visually taller, it is worth wearing dresses and skirts with a high waist, plain trousers of a classic cut. Clothes should not be full of colorful prints and appliques, horizontal stripes should also be excluded. Small, neat accessories are suitable;
- Weight – bright, rich colors are great for thin girls, lace at the waist and puffy sleeves on a shirt will add volume. Full girls should forget about robes and black tones, it is better to use things that visually make you look slimmer – elongated/wrap blouses, a belt at the waist. From fabrics, you need to choose chiffon, lace or silk;
- Chest – owners of a small bust will benefit from tops and sundresses with thin straps, blouses made of soft fabrics in contrast with dark bottoms. Don’t be afraid of jewelry. For a large bust, a top with a V-shaped neckline will do. Puffy trousers/culottes and voluminous skirts will help create a contrast. No tight-fitting fabrics, frills, ruffles or tops with thin straps;
- Wide hips - wide trousers made of lightweight fabric without pockets, skirts with slits on the sides, wrap dresses and long shirts with padding on the shoulders are good choices. The bottom should always be a shade darker than the top, heels will brighten up the silhouette;
- Belly – high-waisted clothes and wide belts will help hide an imperfect waist. There are little secrets: no flowing fabrics, leave 3-4 buttons at the top of shirts unbuttoned, do not tuck clothes into trousers, large colors and small colored patterns are prohibited;
- Full legs - skirts no higher than the knee and a full-length sundress will do. For footwear, choose sandals with wide straps;
- Broad shoulders – you shouldn’t wear a voluminous top with wide sleeves, especially in contrast to a narrow bottom. Straight-cut sleeves, three-quarter length, and voluminous accessories will help smooth out this figure nuance.
It is enough to have the "right things" in your summer wardrobe to feel attractive, confident and happy. Almost all large colors visually add volume, so you need to carefully select things for your body type.
Prints and beautiful combinations
The good thing about women's clothing in the summer is that one item can be worn for any mood and occasion. And fashion is now adapting to women's tricks: today you can combine seemingly incompatible items of different styles and cuts. The main thing in this matter is to feel the boundary.
There are 5 well-known prints:
- Floral - the most popular in the summer, divided into small and large. It emphasizes femininity and adds charm to the image, is not very suitable for office style. A large print can play without an addition - it is self-sufficient, but with a skirt of a large color, a top with a horizontal bright stripe is a great match. Small ones are great with partners in the form of denim or plain items. Almost no children's clothing in the summer is complete without this beautiful floral pattern;
- Geometric is a basic print, no summer clothing is complete without stripes, polka dots and checks. These silhouettes harmonize perfectly with solid colors and with each other. They are great friends with floral colors and such prints fit together perfectly;
- Animal – animal print can often be overdone, it is on the verge of extravagance and vulgarity. The classic combination of this silhouette is the addition of black. In the fashion world, clothes made of neutral textures and colors look spectacular with this silhouette: white, beige and black will suit leopard/tiger, and zebra and other black and white tones will perfectly complement solid deep colors;
- Abstract – the base color can be contrasting, soft/pastel or neutral. This print is used for summer suits, shawls and scarves. It is worth choosing plain bags and ballet flats for such clothes. If you choose a bright skirt of a catchy abstract color – it should be diluted with a calm plain top;
- Ethnic – colors based on national motifs. They go well with other colors, but do not accept mixing different national styles in one image. This print is ideal for both young girls and 40-year-old women.
If you want to combine prints, you need to focus on the color scheme - things should shade each other, harmonize, and not be in bad contrast.
