5 January 2026 Outfits That Are Comfy and Chic

As a Capricorn (Scorpio rising for the full picture), January—and its wintery outfits—are not something I dread. It’s a month I deeply revere: a time to hibernate, reset and reflect on my goals for the year ahead. While the dark depths of January may scare off everyone else, I say bring it on. I’ve never related more to a trend than goth girl winter and I welcome winter’s insistence on rest.

That said, getting dressed in January doesn’t come any easier to me. Cold weather has a way of reducing my wardrobe to a single, very old sweater and a pair of joggers. Thankfully, some of my favourite fashion creators always have stylish January outfits at the ready—looks that capture exactly how many of us want to begin a new year: cool, calm, confident and collected.

Spending some time perusing these influencers’ accounts, it’s clear that chic January outfits are possible, whether you’re looking for everyday attire, office looks or winter weekend ideas. All it takes is the right outerwear and accessories to give them the warmth required for the season. Still, your looks can be just as nice as those you wear in spring and summer; you can still embrace double denim and trench coats, and there are plenty of ways to wear your best jackets, jumpers and jeans.
