I’m in My Cosy-But-Chic Era—17 New-In January Pieces That Set the Tone Perfectly
Comfort-first, winter-ready pieces designed to make everyday dressing feel calmer and cosier.
A controversial take, perhaps, but January is one of my favourite months. The start of a new year naturally invites a reset, and while the days are short and the weather is undeniably bleak (I’m writing this cocooned in an electric blanket), there’s something comforting about the collective pause. Everything feels quieter, slower—and finding joy in the small things is necessary.
For me, that joy comes in the form of thoughtful shopping. Curated, not impulsive. Pieces that genuinely earn their place in a capsule wardrobe rather than clutter it. After the inevitable Christmas lull, brands return refreshed and focused, and January’s expensive-looking new-in sections quietly become some of the most exciting of the year, filled with elevated staples, beautiful textures and pieces designed for real life.
This is the moment when fashion feels practical again. When comfort is non-negotiable, warmth is essential, and chic dressing is achieved through soft layers, enveloping outerwear and silhouettes that feel as good as they look. The buys I’m gravitating towards right now reflect exactly that mindset: calm, considered pieces that make everyday winter dressing feel easier, and far more enjoyable, well into 2026.
