As the new year rolls in, many of us have found ourselves contemplating the next 12 months. Personally, I'm not one to make bold resolutions of waking up at 5 am of a power walk or setting out a list of things to 'fix', but instead I like to set a mood for the upcoming year. On my list is feeling good, be that through more movement or spending time with the people I care about. And when it comes to how I dress, the overarching note of 2026 has been set to elegant. To bring my rejuvenated mood to life, I've turned to high street hero H&M for a touch of newness that won't divert from my aesthetic, but support my goal of having the chicest year yet.

The not-so-secret secret to looking put together at all times is having great basics to rely upon. From there, we're able to layer in our personality, be it through bold shades or understated designs. With sophistication at the front of my mind right now, I'm looking to bolster my wardrobe with a series of capsule wardrobe heroes that will see me through the whole of 2026, as well as layering in a few refined additions, and it seems like H&M has the exact same plan.

This January, H&M has added a flurry of new styles to its winter collection, many of which have a distinctly expensive-looking design. The cuts are elegant, the shades are versatile, and there are small details in composition and silhouette that feel instantly high-end without the matching price point. In the standouts, you'll find a pair of bold barrel-leg jeans that will bring a contemporary edge to your wardrobe, making it feel brand new with one simple addition. Alongside, sculptural silhouettes are taking over in outerwear, along with a series of cosy yet refined knitwear to see us through the chilly January days. Together, it makes for an impeccably sourced capsule wardrobe, though just one or two pieces can be plucked out to instantly elevate my looks and embrace the elegant mood I've set for the coming year.
