Comfort season

Comfort was a real priority this January, as shoppers searched for warm fabrics, insulating layers and faux fur trims to get through winter. From cozy outerwear to cold weather accessories, practical pieces designed to keep you warm and dry dominated wardrobes at the start of the year.

Faux fur linings

This month has seen a 2016 approach to winter dressing – one that focuses on warmth and statement rather than restraint. UGGs are in the middle of another resurgence, the Clarks x DIRDDY Wallabees collaboration has been picking up momentum and fur lined hoods are everywhere right now.

Cashmere

Comfort meets classic style in everyone’s favourite winter fabric. It’s no longer just for sweaters, either. This season, shoppers sought out sweatpants, scarves, hats and socks to make their staples feel considered, rather than purely practical.

Ski wear

Not just for the slopes, the cold snap drove demand for snow pants, ski jackets, and snow boots. Jacquemus, J.Crew and The North Face x SKIMS collaboration have all embraced the trend, with warm yet stylish options to get you through the season.
