My picture didn't include everything you'd need for a Hermione inspired wardrobe, so here is the full list. Soon I will post my Top Ten Tips on dressing like Hermione.
1. At least four cozy sweaters. Sweaters are like Hermione's trademark, they can be casual or fancy and if you watch the movies, she wears them all the time, in all eight.
2. Several plain t-shirts. She never wears them in the movies, but for warmer weather, plain t-shirts are great. They are also great for layering.
3. A few camis/tank tops. Again, for layering, but only for layering. A tank top is not something Hermione would wear.
4. Some blouses/button ups. Peasant blouses, ruffled blouses, polos, anything is good.
5. Skirts. These are more for a younger Hermione, she wears them only in the first two movies (excluding school uniform), but skirts are a very Hermione-like thing. Hermione wants to look neat, but not too fancy, which is very achievable with a tee or sweater and a skirt.
6. At least one nice pair of flats. These can be for special or formal occasions, or everyday wear (although when she is older Hermione wears high heels for both the Yule Ball and Bill and Fleur's wedding). Try to get them in neutral colors, like black, brown, and grey. It is really up to you, but glitz and bright colors are not really Hermione's thing.
7. Always wear boot-cut and straight leg jeans. Jeggings, super skinny jeans, and flare/bell bottom jeans are not very Hermione. Also, keep it normal blue denim. No colored denim (except maybe white). Try to get mostly dark wash. They tend to look neater.
8. Hermione wears khakis occasionally, too.
9. A couple dresses. These are useful if you go to church. They can be casual school dresses, or fancier if a formal event pops up.
10. One plaid flannel shirt, or more. Good for camping, and very comfortable.
11. Boots. Brown is the best color, although it is up to you. Again, stay away from bright colors and glitz. Like I said, brown is best (it's the color that Hermione always wears in the movies), but black and grey are okay too.
12. A denim jacket. Again, stick to dark wash.
13. A comfy hoodie. For cooler weather and just chillaxing at home.
14. During the summer, always wear bermuda shorts. Hermione is not really the sort of person to wear short shorts.
15. Capris are another option for the summer.
16. You will want some good sneakers. For casual, wear Converse and Keds. Those are brand names though, which can be expensive, so try to get them on sale, used, or knock-offs are okay. You may also need a separate pair of athletic shoes.
17. For pajamas, wear nightgowns (old-fashioned style ones are great) or a fitted (but not body-tight) t-shirt with pajama pants or shorts.
18. Wear trench or pea coats.
Hermione's school uniform is a whole separate thing. Here is the complete list. This is good if you dress up as Hermione for Halloween, or maybe you want to change your school uniform to look more like hers.
1. A Gryffindor robe-you probably couldn't wear this to school, but you could on Halloween.
2. A white collared button up-get a girl's uniform one, or a boy's dress shirt works well.
3. A v-neck pullover or cardigan- In the first two movies, this is grey, in the rest, it is black. The cardigan is also only worn in movies 3-8.
4. A Gryffindor tie- this also varies depending on the movie. In the first two, the scarlet and gold stripes are even, in the rest, the tie is scarlet with repeating thin gold stripes.
5. A pleated skirt-this also varies grey or black the same as the sweater.
6. Knee socks or tights-grey knee socks in the first two films (although these can be hard to find and expensive, so white works too) or black tights in the rest.
7. Black Mary Janes-any pair works, but the in the first two they are chunkier (because she is younger) and in the others they are more sleek. Black flats work too.
Here are some stores I recommend for the clothes and uniform:
