The approach of autumn is marked by seasonal summer discounts, renewed assortment in stores, and the desire to prepare your wardrobe for the upcoming cold weather. You should not buy everything just because the item is at a discount, you must first understand whether the chosen model is relevant or not. Conduct an audit in your closet, something will definitely remain relevant from past seasons, and something needs to be replaced with more modern models.

A basic wardrobe for fall-winter 2021-2022 may depend primarily on your lifestyle, where you work, what you do in your free time and your style preferences in clothes, such as color or cut. But whatever one may say, there are some wardrobe items, the presence of which in the closet will make your life easier. At the same time, I would like them to be not just basic, but also fashionable in the upcoming season. Therefore, you need to understand the anti-trends in your wardrobe for the upcoming cold season, disassemble out-of-date models and styles, and also look at what is fashionable and how to style clothes in a modern way.

1. T-shirt

The basic T-shirt can be either white or colored, the main thing is that it has a straight cut made of thick cotton. You should not wear T-shirts made of thin jersey, through which you can easily see your underwear. It is desirable that the prints be simple and concise, without children's drawings and rhinestones, which will spoil your look in an instant.

2. Shirt

Basic shirt with a straight or semi-fitted cut, as if borrowed from a boyfriend. Not the best option would be tight, fitted shirts, without a collar and cuff, or with cropped sleeves. Let it be a little longer and looser and made of dense material. With such a shirt, you can create many looks by wearing it both directly on the body and by creating an additional layer by throwing it over a T-shirt.

3. Turtleneck

I think it's hard to imagine the cold season without a turtleneck. You should not choose turtlenecks made of thin materials, cropped and made of 100% polyester, which do not really warm, but only emphasize the nuances of the figure and draw attention to the chest. After all, its main function is to create warmth. The turtleneck should be more loose, you can even take one size larger, and so that the composition is made from the most natural materials, so that it will warm in inclement weather.

4. Sweater or cardigan

Here, the insulation is already in full swing. The anti-trend are fitted options, made of thin materials, which, if worn over a shirt or some long sleeve, will create ugly folds and irregularities. And if there are already such ones, you can give them a second life, leaving them for home cozy images. Let your sweater or cardigan be a loose fit made from natural fibers with the addition of synthetic ones. Thus, they will last you longer, they will not roll down much, prick, but at the same time they will give the desired warmth and comfort.

5. Knitted vest

The jersey vest has already passed into the base for the autumn-winter period, because it can both warm and add zest to the usual image. Tight-fitting, thin vests that do not keep their shape are irrelevant. Choose models with a loose, semi-fitted cut, they can be either short or long, with or without a print, with a smooth knit or with patterns. In warmer months, it can be worn as a stand-alone item.

6. Jeans

For many, jeans are just an integral part of their wardrobe, without them anywhere at any time of the year. Each of us chooses his own model of jeans, which is comfortable, and there are a lot of them. Now many stylists are afraid that the main anti-trend in this category is skinny.They were very popular before, but I confess, not the most convenient option for me. Now skinny has undergone some changes, so you can wear them. The main thing is that they are not too long, i.e. the accordion was not visually created from below, without bleaching in front, which creates additional volume for the hips, well, they were not made of a large number of synthetic fibers.

Choose skinny shades as simple as possible, denser material, a slightly more straight cut, use them in creating multi-layered looks, wearing over an elongated shirt and vest, or a loose cardigan or jacket. They can also be written off into sport-casual outfits by adding oversized sneakers and hoodies. These skinny ones will perfectly fit into the basic wardrobe.

If you want something different, then proceed from your preferences, but the main parameters for modern jeans are simplicity, freedom of cut and comfort.

7. Pants

In the cold season, choosing between a skirt and trousers, most often the choice falls in favor of the latter, since you can wear thermal underwear under them so that your legs always remain warm. The antitrend to the trousers can be attributed to suit-type trousers of a straight cut, with or without ironed arrows, up to the middle of the heel. Such trousers often come with or without single-breasted jackets with one button.

Fashionable trousers are considered options for a more loose cut, palazzo, trousers with an extended hip line. To emphasize femininity, you can choose trousers with a high waist; trousers with slits, trousers made of leather or eco-leather are perfect for fashionistas. Anti-trends include trousers with stripes; it is better to leave this decorative detail for sports trousers and wear them in the appropriate style.

8. Jacket

A jacket can be either part of a suit or go separately from it. The antitrend is considered to be cropped jackets that fit the figure, made of loose fabric. The current look of the jacket is a straight cut, it can be both in shape and oversized, the main thing is that it is of good length (preferably, the bottom of the jacket should touch your thumb), with free sleeves of full length. With such a jacket, it will be possible to create modern layering, emphasize femininity, playing in contrast with masculinity, dilute the casual style and add zest to the sporty look.

9. Knitted suit

The knitted suit remains relevant to this day. But the main thing is not to choose those models that fit the figure, are decorated with bright details and decor. Keep your suit loose-fitting for an airy and comfortable feel. It is better to choose colors in neutral shades, which will make it easier to combine with other categories of clothing and create more sets with them. In cold weather, a knitted dress is perfect, but, as with a suit, it should not sit close to the body. It is better to choose a length of medium or below the knee, combine with both high boots and boots.

10. Trench

A trench coat is more of a fall wardrobe than a winter one. Shortened versions that were popular several years ago are considered anti-trend. You can still find them in stores, but it is better to avoid such models. Now choose a trench coat with a length below the knee, you can even go to the ankle, loose fit and without unnecessary decor. Such a trench coat can be worn over dresses so that the bottom layer is not visible, or with palazzo trousers, which are very relevant. A loose fit will allow you to create layering, put on a trench coat on a hoodie, over a jacket - this will additionally warm you on cold days of autumn.

11. Coat

A coat is often chosen as an element of a business wardrobe, but now it can be part of everyday sets or complement sports looks, the main thing is to choose the right style. Anti-trends include cropped coats that fit the figure.

On the Internet, you can find many options for feminine coats decorated in the form of fur, with catchy buttons or decor in the form of painting or embroidery, they should also be avoided.A trendy coat can be either medium or full length, the main thing in it is a straight free cut, so that you can easily put on a sweater or jacket under the bottom.

12. Down jacket

As outerwear for the cold period, I would definitely add a down jacket to my favorites. You can walk with him both in the city and go to the mountains with friends. This is a universal thing that everyone should have. But the choice of a down jacket also has its own nuances. There are obvious anti-trends:

• down jackets on the figure with or without a belt
  
• an abundance of fur both on the down jacket itself and on the hood
  
• down jackets with a skirt
  
• lacquered down jackets
  

If you come across them in a store, remember that they will add nothing but tastelessness to your wardrobe.

Down jackets of a free cut, short or elongated, without unnecessary decor and fluffy fur, remain actual models, it is desirable that it does not exist at all. Comfort in everything is important here.

13. Puffy vest

For lovers of an active lifestyle, a puffy vest can also be a base. Here it is important to remember about a free cut, do not choose fitted vests. Very thin vests are best used as a lining for insulation under a trench coat or coat.

14. Leather jacket

A black leather jacket has already become a base for many. But she has undergone a number of modifications that go in the direction of comfort.

Anti-trend leather jacket:

• Sits tightly to the body
  
• Short, which sometimes barely covers the lower back
  
• Without English lapel
  

When choosing a jacket, it is important to pay attention to the style and shape, it should be

• Loose fit, even oversized
  
• English lapel
  
• Lack of catchy details
  

The main example of a current model is a straight cut leather biker jacket, without any unnecessary details. This jacket will serve you for more than one season and will fit into your wardrobe the best. If suddenly you do not want a leather jacket, then you can pay attention to a leather jacket. It will play well in contrast with other textures in the image, such as knitwear, wool or even silk.

15. Fur coat

If your winter is very cold, then your choice will be between a high-quality down jacket or a fur coat. I'm leaning more towards the first option, but here it all depends on everyone's preference. If you like wearing a fur coat, then it is better to choose modern styles. The following models can be attributed to anti-trends:



A modern straight-cut fur coat with an English collar, preferably made of plush fur. Fur coat options made in the cut of a coat-robe are also relevant. Midi and Maxi length.



If you prefer shorter models, drive a car and actively run on business, then you can think of auto-lady models. If you have one, it is better to sell it and buy one that will keep up with the times. Although I think when getting into a car, many people still take off their outerwear so that it is more comfortable to wear a seat belt and not get tired of driving. Such models are not relevant.



Take a closer look at the following fur coats, which can be either natural or faux fur. You can choose a fur coat in neutral shades for everyday looks, and models in bright colors, with prints, perfectly emphasize creativity and individuality.

16. Dress

If you are looking for a dress for the cold season and have decided to search the Internet, be careful as it is full of outdated models. Seeing such a dress, you might think that it will perfectly hide some flaws, lace will give femininity, and rhinestones will shine and shimmer in the light. But, better stop! It is better to choose a modern dress for the cold period 2021-2022 of medium length or below the knee, the print can be any, like the color, it all depends on your wardrobe. Before buying, remember that a dress can both correct the nuances of the figure and emphasize them.

17. Tights

For the autumn period of time, when it is not yet cold and you want to flaunt in mini, you should not wear tight tights, this is no longer relevant. If you put on a light dress from a summer wardrobe with tights in the fall, through which the skin will not show through, this will simply make the image heavier. Choose not a dense dark-colored nylon, but preferably 30-40 den.

Tights made of translucent nylon go well with dresses, skirts and shorts made of dense fabric. For the winter, when it is already cold enough, thick tights will go well in addition to warm clothes, when it is clear that the skirt or shorts are not of flying styles, but keep their shape. Tight nude tights remain the anti-trend. After all, it is even strange when, in sub-zero weather, you supposedly have bare legs. I have seen similar options on Chinese sites, when there is almost fur inside, but from the outside they are skin color. In this case, it is better to choose black or colored tights.

18. Shoes

In the shoe segment, the anti-trends for fall-winter 2021-2022 include platform ankle boots that look outdated. It is better to choose ankle boots with a stable heel, as for me it is more modern and more comfortable. You can also easily throw out high-heeled ankle boots, which are often worn at events, so that your legs look slimmer and keep warm. Take a closer look at more modern ankle boots, let them perfectly complement your look and make it relevant.



The anti-trend among the shoe segment is the heeled over the knee boots with ties at the back so that they don't slip off their feet. Treads make the image more sexy, and therefore it is important not to go into vulgarity here. Choose models of a more relaxed style and combine with loose-fitting clothes, without mini or obvious body fit.

19. Hats

A modern autumn hat differs from a winter one in a lower density of materials, but the shape and laconic performance are preserved. Don't go for hats with rhinestones, intricate designs, or even lace. It doesn't make them look cute or funny. The main example of a current model is a beanie hat without decor. It can be worn with a sporty look, or with a coat or trench coat. Hats with pom poms are also anti-trend, you can leave them for the mountains or for a thematic photo shoot, but no more.



For fall, you can choose a hat, but not a bowler hat, which is definitely an anti-trend. A topical hat should have a straight brim and a straight crown. There is no need here for any extravagance in size or shape, everything should be as simple as possible so that a hat in a basic wardrobe will serve you for more than one season.



Anti-trend - fur hats, which were previously worn with a fur coat, and with such a tandem, a woman was considered the most fashionable and wealthy person. Forget about them. If you are not wearing a beanie hat according to your status, you can shift your focus of attention to scarves or headscarves, which often appeared at shows for the upcoming season.

If you are afraid to freeze in a scarf, take a look at interesting models of insulated scarves or scarves made of eco-leather, quilted or wool. I think that you will definitely like them. Such a headdress can emphasize femininity and elevate the image to a higher level.

20. Sneakers

I think that in a warm autumn, sneakers are perfect for both the city and for outings. A clear anti-trend among sneakers is wedge sneakers, which supposedly add height and make the shoe look more interesting.



It also includes sneakers that make them more feminine by adding shiny details, rhinestones and additional zippers that do not carry any functionality.



Shift your attention to laconic models, not necessarily neutral shades, here you can choose a color based on your wardrobe.

21. Bags

There are never too many bags, or can you still choose one and fit it into most of the looks? Of course you can, but it's still better to have several options so that the chosen style is completed on the right note or bag. I looked at what bags are now on the marketplaces and realized that there are often models presented there that are not really relevant.

Anti-trend among bags:

• Keg bag. If you have it and is executed in a minimalistic design, then you can leave it for later, suddenly it will become relevant again.
  
• Soft shopper bag with lots of details. Choose bags of simple shapes, without various rivets or fasteners. These parts can be left for sports bags, where they will carry functionality.
  
• Outdated hobo bag. Now hobo bags are very popular, but their shape has undergone modifications that go more towards minimalism and brevity.
  
• A combination of different textures of materials on the bag. This option does not decorate the bag in any way, but makes it obsolete.
  
• Backpacks of this format are also anti-trend. And if you decorate it with a pom-pom keychain, then it will definitely seem like something from the past or childish.
  
• Also, the anti-trend can be attributed to the discrepancy between the size of the bag and the girl who uses it. The rule of balance is important here, if you are a large girl, choose bags large, medium and slightly smaller than average, as a small bag will simply get lost and will look “awkward”. For petite girls, the choice is behind small, medium and slightly larger than medium bags. With a small stature, you do not need to take a huge bag, even if it is in trend. This accessory will simply shift all the attention to itself.
  

In conclusion, I want to say that if you have clothes that have fallen into anti-trends, you should not get upset and frantically start looking for a replacement. If it can be stylized in an up-to-date manner or altered, then it will be a hundred times better than throwing it away. There is no need to fall into materialism and waste money. Therefore, having made up your basic wardrobe once, it can serve you for a long time, since the base is simplicity of cut, good quality materials and a reflection of your attitude. I wish you to wear clothes with pleasure, let it emphasize your beauty and personality, and we will follow the trends and anti-trends and keep you informed.
