11 things for a basic wardrobe for the winter
ABOUT BASE WARDROBE KNOW EVERYTHING, but few people think specifically about its preparation, but in vain. To wear embroidered blouses and skirts with large graphic prints, you need to acquire a few simple things that fit absolutely everything. Wonderzine lists 11 basic warm things, without which it can not do in the winter.
Fur coat
A fur coat in Russia is not a way to emphasize status, but a necessity dictated by climate. At the same time, the fur market is widely segmented: a coat can be bought for a couple of hundred thousand dollars from Fendi or Prada, and for a couple of hundred thousand rubles in “Furs Ekaterina”, and for very little money in a mass market or second-hand. If the fur coat seems to be too an adult item of clothing, you can consider the option of buying colored fur, which appeared in the new collections of Simone Rocha, Meadham Kirchhoff for Topshop and Roi et Moi.

Parka or down jacket
It is extremely difficult to find a beautiful down jacket, especially when local stores consider it an honor to sell only shiny and slim fit. Perhaps the most successful turned out to be Kirill Gasilin: the Russian designer created so successful exaggerated coats with a smell that he reissued them for the second season in a row - this time in rich colors like burgundy and blue. Also, an elegant down jacket should be sought from brands that specialize in outerwear. For example, Herno, which we talked about: the brand creates 60 year old down jackets and has earned the trust of the giants Hermès, Jil Sander and Prada. But the base ones, black with a slightly voluminous collar and with a slanting lightning, can be found in Helmut Lang and Givenchy. The main alternative to down-padded jackets is park: you can find a reliable one in Penfield and Uniqlo.

Lined coat
A fur coat or a down jacket can replace a coat on a very warm lining. Here the story is simple. You can choose a classic base coat - beige, gray or black, you can recall the military style and buy a double-breasted coat of Navy or Khaki colors, or you can follow the trend of the autumn-winter season and choose a cocoon coat in pastel shade - pink or blue.

Basic woolen dress
A dress made of silk or cotton in winter can only be worn with a long wool cardigan, but the opposite story with a dress made of warm thick wool. It is advisable to buy a model of basic cut and color, to which you can add whatever your heart desires. Stella McCartney and Olivier Theyskens have black and blue midi dresses, and their colleague Roxanda Ilinčić has a trapeze dress from panels of different shades.

Knitted sweater
An excellent sweater can tie a grandmother, and, sorry for the banality, he will be the warmest. If you are thinking of looking for it in stores, consider the option of buying a cashmere sweater. Now they are produced as democratic brands like J. Crew and Uniqlo, and luxury brands like Loro Piana and Pringle of Scotland, and it is not known whose sweater will last you longer.

Midi leather skirt
Silk mini skirts with transparent inserts leave us before the summer. The most popular length of the autumn-winter season is just below the knee or to the middle of the calf. Perhaps you should buy a midi skirt made of wool or leather that will warm your feet. The main thing is to choose tight tights for them, not necessarily black, but best of all monotonous: a saturated color like bottle or gray will do.

Wool pants
Perfectly fitting trousers from high-quality natural wool are an investment for years, as well as other things from our list, like a cashmere sweater or fur coat. They can be black or gray, straight or widening from the hip, with and without arrows. Find such in the store at a reasonable price can be difficult, so it makes sense to order pants in the studio. It is also worth going to the designers, from season to season, showing interpretations of classic clothes, such as Calvin Klein or Ralph Lauren, as well as cutters like Stella McCartney or Phoebe Faylo.

Boots or knee-high boots with fur
Perhaps in the winter it is logical to choose shoes without a heel: less likely to fall on the snow or ice. It can be shoes, the same chelsea, or boots to the knee. The main thing - they should be very warm, like shoes with natural fur or shoes made of heat-retaining materials.

Cap
Last week, Wonderzine devoted to caps shooting, but, be that as it may, we recall: with the approach of winter, it becomes quite obvious that buying a warm hat is inevitable. Universal - the so-called bini from natural materials like angora or cashmere, keeping the shape of fur hats, as shown by the sisters Ruban, or neat angorae caps. Note that it is worth refusing unless from hip-hop caps with the inscriptions "Swag".

Scarf or fur collar
A simple cashmere scarf is offered by every second brand - from Michael Kors to Muji. In the new season, designers advise to pay attention to the boa - a fur collar, which was originally dressed in a small animal skin that was thrown over the shoulders. These are in the new collections of Marques'Almeida or Asos with Topshop. In addition, the Prada boa is still alive: the likes of Lanvin and Marni.

Gloves or mittens
Wonderzine beauty department editor Masha Vorslav can list a dozen reasons to wear warm gloves in the fall and winter. We add that we love them not only as protection for the skin, but also as a beautiful addition to the outfit. In addition to the usual gloves made of wool, attention should be paid to the gloves made from mohair or fur in tone to the coat, fur coat or down jacket: white to dairy or mint to green.
