Fashion & Lifestyle Resets for the New Year
A new year has a way of making everything feel a little more possible. It’s not about reinventing yourself overnight though. Rather, it’s about small upgrades that make everyday life feel better.
A smarter wardrobe, pieces you actually wear, outfits that work just as well for weekday coffee runs as weekend plans.
If you’re looking to refresh your style as winter rolls into spring, The Yards in Covent Garden is the place to start.
1. RELAXED TAILORING
Soft blazers, wide-leg trousers and slouchy layers are sticking around, and they work just as well with trainers as they do with boots.
A relaxed jacket over a knit and jeans is an easy upgrade for everyday dressing. Think Whistles or Reiss.
2. Sophisticated Neutrals
Creams, greys, soft browns and muted tones are everywhere right now.
They’re timeless, easy to mix, and make even simple outfits look effortlessly chic. Try Nobody’s Child or Abercrombie.
3. Practical Footwear
Chunky boots, platform soles and styles built for walking are still leading the way.
A sturdy pair of boots from Dr. Martens works year after year and anchors almost any outfit, dresses included.
Statement Pieces That Do the Heavy Lifting
If you’re investing in something new, let it be a piece that transforms outfits you already own.
- A standout coat or jacket
- A bold boot or shoe
- A well-cut dress that layers easily
Brands like Russell and Bromley offer pieces that feel current but aren’t trend-led – the kind you’ll still be reaching for next season.
Meanwhile, easy everyday essentials from Brandy Melville are ideal for building layered looks that don’t date.
Ski Holiday Essentials
Whether you’ve got an actual ski trip planned or just like the après-ski aesthetic, winter layering is having a moment.
Key pieces to have fun with:
- Chunky knits and thermal base layers Snow + Rock
- Puffer jackets or structured coats from Lululemon
- Boots with grip and warmth from Salomon
- Accessories that do the work – scarves, beanies, gloves from Rohan
The trick is versatility: items that work on the slopes and back home. Pair ski-inspired knits with tailored trousers, or wear winter boots with everyday denim for a practical but polished look.
Your New-Year Style Reset Starts Here
A fresh year doesn’t need a full overhaul. Sometimes it’s just about choosing pieces that feel right, investing in quality, and enjoying the process.
With fashion, food and experiences all in one place, The Yards makes it easy to refresh your style and enjoy the moment while you’re at it.
