January Fashion: Out with the Old — Well, Mostly

When we think about the month of January, we often think of new beginnings, a clean slate and a chance to leave behind some of the baggage from the year before. But you wouldn’t leave behind a designer tote or crossbody bag — which is why I think we should focus on the pieces that did us so much stylistic justice in 2024. We saw a resurgence of the barn jacket, a structured piece to grab on the go. The lug boot brought us comfort without sacrificing the look, and its fusion with the western trend is sure to carry on into the year ahead. Statement pendants prove more is more without overdoing it, and a slip dress transcends trends. As you begin the calendar anew, it is important to acknowledge and embrace what came before, and carry yourself fashionably into the new year.
