How To The January Fashion Formula
We all know the first few weeks of January can feel overwhelming as we scramble to focus on our resolutions, prepare for the year ahead, and recover after the party season ends. This period of reflection is the perfect opportunity to reinvent your style and decide which pieces will become your wardrobe staples in 2026. That’s where our January Fashion Formula comes in, as we highlight the shapes, fabrics and colours to invest in and restyle, to carry you through the year with a refreshed look.
Burgundy
Burgundy was undoubtedly the colour of the party season, appearing on everything from black-tie gowns and sequin mini dresses to faux fur outerwear. But just because the festivities are over, it doesn’t mean you need to retire your rich red hues. Starting with what’s already in your wardrobe sets the tone for the new year. We recommend finding the perfect burgundy mini dress which, when paired with tights and a blazer, can take you effortlessly from the desk to drinks.
“When it comes to curating your wardrobe in the New Year, choose pieces that you’re drawn to, and silhouettes you already own. This is the formula to having a wardrobe full of pieces that will go the distance.”
Pinstripe
Pinstripe is set to be the pattern of 2026. Its timeless and understated nature makes it a perfect workwear staple. It’s ideal if you want to dip your toe into patterned pieces, or if your wardrobe leans towards minimalism. Try pairing a navy or beige pinstripe with a blazer dress silhouette for versatile pieces that are easy to restyle across every season in the office.
Jersey
We’re jersey enthusiasts. This premium fabric is breathable in summer and insulating in winter, making it a wardrobe all-rounder. It also works perfectly as a foundation for rebuilding your style, as its neutral quality allows you to layer with a wide range of accessories and outerwear. Our premium jersey maxi and midi dresses in black, burgundy and white are wardrobe essentials you will reach for repeatedly in 2026.
“A personal sense of style is something we’re all born with, and 2026 is the year to let it shine, express yourself and show up as the best version of you.”
Statement Accessories
This brings us neatly to accessories, particularly statement pieces. Long gone are the days of layering dainty necklaces that inevitably get tangled. Instead, select three bold pieces that can elevate your looks or take them from day to night. Our favourites are a pair of oversized gold earrings, a pendant necklace and a good pair of leather boots. Pair these with a burgundy jersey dress or a matching navy blazer set for an elevated yet polished look. Don’t be afraid to mix metals and textures.
Styling
During winter, we’re all inclined to keep cosy and warm, often at the expense of a well-put-together outfit. This is easily remedied by incorporating leather accents, which instantly elevate your look and add a sense of polish. For a statement finish, opt for coloured leather; for something more timeless, keep it sleek in all black, using black leather boots and a matching belt to neatly frame your outfit.
