Nylon is characterized by lightness, density, water resistance, but can during active movements to create not all pleasant rustle. Whereas polyester is characterized by wear resistance and retains heat well. Membrane fabrics are worth your attention, as they combine waterproofness and breathability.

Affordable, easy to care for, but slightly less warm than down (since our winters are really rarely very cold, synthetic is optimal). Whereas biopooh is an ecological analog of down.

To wear the chosen model was as comfortable as possible, pay attention to additional features. Hood, pockets, cuffs — all this makes the jacket more functional.

How to pick up a jacket by style?

To choose a winter jacket often seems difficult, because you want to feel comfortable at the same time and at the same time to preserve the femininity of the silhouette. It is better to buy a thing a size larger to leave enough room for warm sweaters.

If you need the most universal model, choose a classic jacket. Laconic styles, restrained colors, high-quality fabric — these are all signs of classic style. And here with the color you can experiment more and give preference to interesting bright shades. This also improves your visibility on the road for drivers, which is especially important in the dark winter evenings.

How to care for a winter jacket?

To make your winter jacket last longer, follow the simple rules of care:

• regularly clean the jacket from dust and dirt;
• wash the jacket according to the manufacturer’s recommendations;
• dry in a straightened form, as far away from heating devices as possible.

Maxi skirt+knitted cardigan 

We suggest starting with the simplest option — combine a vest with a top thing this season — a maxi skirt. Since the formula of this look is really very simple, throw a knitted cardigan on top for interesting accents. It will also be incredibly comfortable in such a meadow. It is better to choose models that have a number of buttons, and not to pinch them to the end both on the vest and on the cardigan. In this way, you will additionally get an interesting asymmetry and correct proportions.

Skirt+turtleneck

If the option with a cardigan seems too extravagant, try its classic formula — a skirt, a turtleneck and a vest. In this image, it is better to make the main emphasis on accessories. Choose an original pendant and bag to match the turtleneck — and you’re ready to conquer new heights.

White shirt+bottom with animal print 

Many stylists emphasize that a white shirt must be in every wardrobe. And this thing really simplifies the combination of stylish bows. And so that a white shirt with a classic vest does not have a fresh look, we recommend combining it with bottoms with an animal print. This season, at the peak of popularity, the leopard, but the zebra has an equally interesting look. The result will be an optimal balance, as a basic white shirt will allow you to calm down the active print a little. It is better not to pinch the vest and shirt and thus leave a little space in the neckline. 

White pants+white longsleeve 

A black and white outfit is a timeless classic. Such images have an incredibly stylish look. This is the case when you don’t need extra details to show off your good taste. The combination of a white longo and white pants will visually extend the silhouette, and the vest will become just that accent. 

Black ankle boots+black coat 

If you are planning to go outside, we recommend choosing a coat that is warm enough so that you don’t pinch it and thus be able to show off your vest. It is better that the shoes are of the same tone as the outerwear. 

Animal print dress+vest+bag 

We collect the image according to the principle of combining a white longsleeve, an accent pleated skirt, a vest and black shoes. And then we finish the image with a trench coat, a bright scarf and an interesting bag. 

White shirt+black pants and belt+vest+twilly+accent bag 

In this image, accessories also play a major role, since the formula of the bow is based on absolutely basic things. To reduce the formality a little, we recommend rolling up the shirt sleeves and not buttoning it all the way. The belt allows you to highlight the waist line. While twilly can be tied around the neck to visually extend the neck, or tied on a bag. 

Knitted striped dress+trench coat 

In the cold period of the year, knitted dresses are especially comfortable. So that a basic knitted dress really has an interesting look in images, choose a striped model. Just throw a vest on top and then a trench coat. 

White jeans with a shirt+vest+black shoes+interesting jewelry+chelsea shoes 

Since the vest carries a certain “official” mood, Chelsea boots and interesting accessories will allow you to relax the image. Add to the effect of the decoration, that the image will definitely be remembered for a long time. 

Jeans+long sleeve 

If you want to form the most simple bow, then combine the vest with the usual jeans and a basic longsleeve.

 Let the proposed options also be a good incentive for forming your own formulas with a vest.

Turtleneck

With the first cold weather, a turtleneck is necessary for creating multi-layered looks. The main thing is that the material is thin enough, but at the same time it holds its shape. Use the basic rule for creating multi-layered looks — each subsequent item should be denser than the previous one, to provide for the formation of the neat folds.

A turtleneck can be worn with blazers and jackets, under a sundress or with a vest. Just imagine how many stylish looks you can create with an ordinary basic turtleneck in your wardrobe.

You will definitely wear it often in the cold season, so it is worth having several of them. You can choose not only the base colors such as the usual white, gray, black and beige. Although, of course, they are the easiest to compile the outfits. Choose the base color taking into account your individual parameters — the shade that matches most of your clothes, beautifully emphasizes the portrait area, and you just like it.

Jumper

The next thing, which is also important in the wardrobe for the cold season, is a jumper. This clothing piece is no longer just an auxiliary element, but it can already play a key role in the look. It is optimal for the jumper to be rich in color and loose-fitting. Loose fit will allow you to create an interesting silhouette, and a bright shade will refresh the appearance.

Cardigan

When you have something to throw over your shoulders — this always brings an additional comfort. Choose a cardigan for this purpose, which will be an excellent replacement for a light jacket or a raincoat.

Sweater

Many people associate autumn with a knitted sweater with cable knits and a cup of warm drink. In addition to the feeling of comfort, this sweater looks spectacular in autumn outfits. The easiest way to create a memorable look is to choose a brightly colored sweater. But you can make the look more exquisite by playing with textures. For example, wear soft knitted sweater with leather pants and a skirt, durable jeans, etc. Then you can maintain a balance between comfort and a clear shape.

A knitted sweater will also allow you to wear elements of a summer suit in the cold season. In the fall, sets with light dresses and skirts, and a massive and bright sweater on top, look especially impressive.

To visually lengthen the silhouette, choose a model with a V-neck, classic shoulder seam and side slits. This recommendation is especially relevant for plus size.

For those who love fashion experiments

If you are not ready to stop at basic options, pay attention to a thin cardigan and models with open shoulders. A thin cardigan is always relevant, which means it is always a good investment. You can wear a T-shirt or a top under a thin cardigan to create a multi-layered look. And on particularly cold days, throw a jacket on top.

Knitted models with open shoulders are, of course, for special events. But such a thing should be in your wardrobe if you want to attract attention.

In the cold season, knitted items will definitely be your successful purchase. Replenish your wardrobe not only with basic models, but also with clothes with interesting accents. You can easily find them in the catalog of VOVK online store.

• brown, beige, olive, which create cozy and natural impression;

The most stylish variations of monochrome looks

Women’s clothing for the autumn season is characterized by a large number of variations. When creating looks with an emphasis on color, it is worth paying attention to:

• total black;
• beige total look;
• gray gradient;
• burgundy accent;
• olive comfort.

All black is always a win-win option. A black coat, leather pants, ankle boots and a bag will create a stylish and sophisticated look. Or you can do it even easier and still look no less stunning – buy a black suit and add a blouse in the same shade, but, for example, with a polka dot print.

Soft, pastel shades of beige will create a gentle and romantic look. A voluminous sweater, a midi skirt, low-heeled ankle boots and a shopper bag are the perfect set for autumn walks. If you strive for maximum comfort, then it is best to choose a beige knitted suit. This set is universal not only in terms of color, but also in variativity – it opens up many options for creating a lot of looks. Also, you can combine different shades of gray — from light gray to anthracite. A gray suit, a chunky knitted sweater and sneakers will form a modern and comfortable look.

Alternatively, the burgundy shade is very rich, so this look will definitely attract attention. Since this tone is quite “heavy”, it is better to put on something a few tones lighter near the portrait zone.

Olive color creates a feeling of calmness and harmony. Choose a trench coat in an olive shade, beige trousers and sneakers, and you already have a practical and stylish look for everyday life.

How to create the perfect monochrome look?

If you like to experiment with style, then monochrome looks may seem a little boring. To avoid this, we recommend additionally experimenting with such fashion techniques:

• play with textures — combine different textures of fabric: smooth leather, soft cashmere, rough denim, to add depth to the look;
• use accessories to highlight and make your look more individual;
• don’t be afraid to experiment: monochrome is not a limitation, but an opportunity for creativity.

Autumn style can definitely be interesting and varied. Since nature offers rich and interesting colors, you can opt for matching them. When choosing stylish solutions for autumn, you should definitely be inspired by nature.

Top colors of autumn 2024 and how to combine them

Autumn trends of 2024 include rich and warm shades. This year, the following are especially relevant:

• brown — from milk chocolate to rich chestnut;
• green — deep emerald, olive and mossy;
• burgundy, which will add elegance and mystery to the look;
• blue — the color of indigo to make any look sophisticated;
• yellow — such warm shades as mustard and gold, which add warmth and positivity to the outfit.

These colors of autumn not only look spectacular on their own, but also can be harmoniously combined with each other. Brown goes well with beige, gray, green and burgundy, while green should be worn with black, white and yellow. Combine burgundy with black, gray, white and gold. And blue goes incredibly well with white, beige, gray and yellow. We recommend wearing yellow with brown, blue and green.

The specifics of color combinations also depend on the impression you want to create. If you need a classic look, then pay attention to monochrome. To make the look deeper, choose different shades of the same color.

For bold looks, focus on contrasting combinations. Combine bright colors such as burgundy and yellow, or blue and orange. At first, it is better to choose one main color and add the other with accessories.

And if you have just started studying color theory, then make an initial move with something simple: wear bright shades with basic ones — black, white or gray.

What fabrics to select?

Hot summer gives way to the first cold autumn days. Therefore, it is high time to choose fabrics that will give you maximum comfort. For example, you can opt for tweed, which will add elegance and sophistication to your look. Tweed is always about status: its mood can be supported by elegant shoes and a bag or a play with contrasts, and it can be worn, for example, with rough boots.

Add leather to your wardrobe for more daring combinations. These can be leather jackets, skirts and pants. Total looks are recommended for the most audacious girls. And in everyday looks, we advise “calming down” the effect of eco leather with knitted fabric, artificial silk, etc.

Trendy women’s clothing always includes denim, since this material is relevant at any time. But for autumn it is better to choose a denser and darker one.

Light suiting fabric is the best fit for the first cool days. It is optimal to replenish your wardrobe with a classic suit, which will not only solve the question of what to wear, but also play an important practical role. For example, in the morning you can throw a jacket over your shoulders. And on warm days, it is possible to use only the bottom from this set.

Knitted fabric is about comfort, which is so necessary in the end of summer. These can be various turtlenecks and cardigans, which will become a real symbol of comfort for you.

When creating your own unique autumn look, you will be able to emphasize your individuality and conquer others with your unrivaled appearance.

How to create looks using a basic summer wardrobe?

You can create not only relevant, but also interesting looks with the help of basic clothes. To do this, just combine different textures, play with colors, experiment with the top and bottom and do not be afraid of layering.

Try combining smooth fabrics with textured ones, for example, silk with denim. On the one hand, this is the simplest look, but thanks to the different textures, you will look just amazing. Add bright accents with accessories. If you have combined an absolutely basic look, then dilute it with an interesting bag – and significantly increase the degree of style. Do not be afraid to combine different styles of clothes to create unusual looks. You want cassic trousers with a grunge T-shirt? Why not, such looks are really memorable. And even in summer you can wear multi-layered looks – if, for example, you put on a light cardigan over a top.
