HOW TO CREATE A BASIC WARDROBE FOR A TEENAGE GIRL?

Dear moms, our girls are growing up and, of course, their wardrobe must also undergo changes and “grow up” with them. A teenager's wardrobe is different from a child's wardrobe or from an adult woman's wardrobe. And this must be remembered when buying clothes for a girl.

In adolescence, girls are most reverent about their appearance. For many of them, it is very important what impression they make on others.

Indeed, it is often at this age that self-esteem is formed, and unnecessary complexes are “drawn”.

What should be the clothes of a teenage girl?

Therefore, clothes for a teenage girl should be:

Comfortable and convenient - i.e. match the girl's lifestyle.

Fashionable, beautiful and most importantly - modern!

And since at this age girls themselves still do not really understand how to make their image stylish, fashionable and interesting, we, parents, should help them in this and, thereby, develop a sense of taste in our daughter. Not persistently and obsessively dictating your vision of "beautiful", but playfully, offering various options, consulting with the child, finding compromises.

So, our task is to make a high-quality basis of the wardrobe, so that when buying some trendy things that are relevant in the current season, the image of the girl turns out to be stylish and interesting, does not look boring and gray, or vice versa, “I will put on all the best at once”.

Basic wardrobe for a teenage girl

The basis of any wardrobe, including teenage ones, is basic things. By the way, if you now open the closet and look at your daughter's things, then most likely you will find them there. It’s just that you didn’t know about it :-) And this is absolutely logical, because just the basic things are responsible for comfort, convenience and warmth (see paragraph 1)

But in order for us to speak the same language, let's talk about what the basic things are.

Basic things are called things that:

Have a simple laconic cut

They do not have any decorative elements.

As soon as something was sewn to the thing, it was cut off asymmetrically, draped, i.e. a complex cut or decorative elements appeared - it automatically loses its "basic" and goes into the category of a thing belonging to a certain style. Let's call such things "raisins".

The most important feature of basic things: all basic things are combined with each other!

This is exactly what our child needs. She must pull things out of the closet with her eyes closed and know for sure that they fit together!

And also the basic things are painlessly combined with that very “raisin”. Whereas putting together "raisins" among themselves is not an easy task and requires certain skills and knowledge in the field of stylistics.

Basic things in a teenage wardrobe simply have to be colored!

But why not a blue or burgundy laconic jumper with rhombuses? And one of the reasons why our girls' wardrobes are filled with black and gray things is the inability to correctly complete colored things.

How to put together the perfect wardrobe for a teenage girl?

So, in the right teenage wardrobe, about 70-90% of things should be basic. It is they that will allow the child to feel comfortable, it is these things that are completed with each other with “closed eyes” and it is with them that you can fearlessly complete things of a complex cut that have a certain style. And this property makes it possible to obtain the maximum number of different sets of clothes from the same things.

But even when choosing, it would seem, such simple things as basic ones, you need to pay attention to their relevance and modernity (see paragraph 2).

The right jackets

For example, the "today's" correct jacket for a girl does not look short, tight and fitted, but vice versa: it is straight cut, often elongated, has a narrow collar (lapel) or the collar may be completely absent, double-breasted models are also very relevant and modern.

If a girl likes to emphasize her waist, put on a strap on top. An additional accessory will never be superfluous in this case.

Proper Pants

Actual youth trousers are now, as a rule, narrowed and shortened.

Such models of trousers are the most versatile, because. allow you to wear almost any footwear under them: ballet flats, sneakers, loafers, sneakers, pumps with and without heels, etc.

If the girl does not have any features of the figure, then you do not need to purchase straight long trousers. You can’t wear more athletic shoes under such models, and the correct length of these trousers must be strictly observed: you can’t wear the same pair under flat shoes or under a small steady heel.

Proper cardigans

Another example is cardigans. Tight models made of thin knitwear with small buttons are no longer relevant.

Now straight silhouettes are in fashion, there can be large textured knitting, again, you can fit a cardigan with a narrow belt to match or vice versa, with a contrasting belt.

I have given you just a few examples to clearly show what the relevance and modernity of things are.

Of course, in outdated styles of simple basic things, the girl will feel "out of her element", so be sure to flip through youth magazines or youth street style photos. So you will be aware of the current youth styles, and you will also be able to get ideas for completing such things.

List of things for a teenager's basic wardrobe

Now let's make a rough list of basic things that a teenage girl should have in her wardrobe. I can not advise a certain number of things, because each person represents his own minimum necessary, based on the lifestyle and hobbies of a teenager. Remember that all these things should have a simple, concise cut and be colored!

By the way, I wrote about for a teenage girl in one of my previous articles, in the same place I gave an approximate list that a girl needs for school.

Therefore, here we will make a list of basic things necessary in everyday life.

• White Short Sleeve T-shirt
• Colored short sleeve T-shirts
• Long Sleeve T-shirts
• White shirt (straight fit is relevant)
• Denim shirt
• Plaid shirt
• Straight cut or oversized jumper
• Sweater (printed, coarse knit or bright color)
• Sweatshirt
• Straight fit cardigan
• Jacket
• Jeans (skinny, boyfriend, straight, frayed or torn, blue or colored - it all depends on taste, needs and preferences)
• Trousers with arrows
• Sweatpants (note the urban style, not the gym style)
• Shorts
• Dress (straight cut, oversize or fitted, depending on preference)
• A sweater dress or a tunic dress is very relevant now. Can be worn with leggings, thick tights and rough boots or with jeans.
• Dress shirt
• Sundress
• trench coat
• Leather jacket (can be made of eco-leather)
• Jeans
• bomber
• Down jacket
• Demi coat
• Sneakers
• Ballet shoes
• Shoes
• Sandals
• Boots
• Boots
• Crossbody bag (shoulder bag)
• Backpack
• Hat
• Gloves

Having a “strong foundation” in your wardrobe, you can buy some trendy things of the current season at the request of your daughter - the same “raisins”, fearlessly complete them with a “base” and be sure that such a wardrobe will always be functional, interesting and variable . A girl will always have something to wear and she will look different every time.

Basic wardrobe examples

Now I will show you visually the variability of the basic wardrobe. And believe me, these are far from all the combinations that can be made from this set of things. And if you combine the same “raisins” with these things or supplement each set with different accessories, which I wrote about in the last article, then the number of combinations increases exponentially!

Basic wardrobe

Now look what this little wardrobe can do.

Well, did you have a desire to reconsider your daughter's wardrobe? :-) Then go ahead, go for it with her! And if you need professional help, come to study at the School of Shopping :-)
