Normally, transitioning into a new year puts people into one of two fashion camps: those who buy an entirely new wardrobe filled with activewear and those who decide they're finally going to invest in fancy workwear, including a Michelle Obama-inspired power suit. However, with gyms across the country shut and the majority of office staff still working from home, 2021's first fashion purchases are likely to look a little different.Given that the majority of socialising is still taking place outdoors, the most sensible purchases you can make this season are items that can be layered on top of one another. Whether that’s a knitted polo and a cosy jumper or adding to your endless supply of matching loungewear, easily buildable (and most importantly, warm!) pieces are essential for winter's bitter weather.Yet just because our outfits have to be outside-activity-friendly at the moment, doesn't mean that we can't look to the future.

I’ve never been a hat person but I think berets look great on anyone once you find the right angle. This classic grey number is just the ticket.Accessorize Beret Hat in Pure Wool, $, available at AccessorizeI love everything Maria de la Orden makes and this cotton shirt will look just as great under knitwear for WFH as it will with denim shorts and sandals in summer.Maria de la Orden Farm Shirt, $, available at Maria de la Orden2021 is the year I reserve loungewear for hangover days only! Having never worn comfies before the pandemic and spending all of 2020 in a steady rotation of joggers and sweatshirts, I am sick of the sight of it. I have a cherished collection of knitwear and I save up to buy Hades pieces because they’re so perfect and well made. I’m treating myself to this one as a 'You Made It Through 2020!' reward. Just as comfy as loungewear but much more my style. Hades The Cure Black & Red, $, available at HadesAnna Jay, Art DirectorI am always putting my hair up-down-up-down throughout the day so this is another way I can be indecisive but look better in the process.Tort Toto Clip in Spiced Tortoiseshell, $, available at TortStrap me in for another month of WFH with these cosy little numbers. Glerups Glerups Shoes, $, available at My Little WishA good navy jumper is such a wardrobe staple and in cosy cashmere I can stay warm from desk to drinks. Navy Grey The RELAXED, $, available at Navy GreyJacqueline Kilikita, Beauty EditorI’m fed up of living in bobbly loungewear and want to dress up in something chic for a change! This cosy, powder blue dress fits the bill and will look just as cute with black boots on a night out with friends.& Other Stories Relaxed Belted Mini Dress, $, available at & Other StoriesPositive change is on the horizon but I know that for the foreseeable, I’ll still have to meet many of my friends at the park when we want to catch up. This bold, pin-embellished, knitted hat will keep me cosy and warm – and they’ll be able to spot me a mile off.Bella Freud Pin-embellished Wool Beanie Hat, $, available at Matches FashionThese Chloe boots have stolen my heart, in particular the chunky, cleated heel. So emo! I think they’re going to be my January treat because let’s face it, it’s the most miserable month and I deserve a little dose of happiness. They’ll look equally badass teamed with a mini dress or jeans.Chloé Betty Rubber Boots, $, available at Net-A-PorterAlicia Lansom, Editorial AssistantI have a pair of burgundy faux croc trousers that I absolutely love but they are a bit OTT for everyday wear. I’ve been on the lookout for the perfect pair of black leather straight-leg trousers for what feels like years and I've finally found the style I’m after with this Mango pair.Mango Leather Effect Straight Trouser, $, available at MangoIs there anything more tempting than an & Other Stories knit? I really struggle to add colour into my wardrobe during the winter months but this khaki patterned jumper is exactly what I need to liven up my look (and it matches perfectly with the aforementioned trousers). & Other Stories Fuzzy Knit Sweater, $, available at & Other StoriesOn my continued quest to own jewellery that doesn’t turn my ears green, I’ve set my sights on this beautiful pair of silver hoops. Unlike the rest of my earrings, these are light, subtly textured and made from recycled sterling silver, making them a wonderful addition to my collection. Bar Jewellery Ripple Earrings, $, available at Bar JewelleryJessica Morgan, Staff WriterI was meant to run a marathon in 2020 but alas, COVID came and thwarted any plans of my lungs being able to sustain 26.2 miles. With the new year upon us, I’m going to start running again and hopefully will be able to up the ante when it comes to my mileage. These shorts come with pockets which, if you know, are vital. I love them.Adidas x Karlie Kloss Karlie Kloss Shorts, $, available at AdidasOkay, slightly over budget here but these glasses are gorgeous. Since I’m working from home and constantly on my computer, glasses have become increasingly necessary. If I’m going to turn into four eyes, I might as well do it with style. This pair is chic, minimalist and totally on-brand for me.Taylor Morris SW4 C3, $, available at Taylor MorrisI may be wishful thinking but once we’re able to go out and socialise again *I’m manifesting* I want to elevate my outfit with these cute sustainable trainers. These are made from 100% nylon, a leather and suede alternative that doesn’t harm animals or the environment, the soles are made from recycled rubber compound and the laces are organic cotton. I’m really trying to think more consciously about my shopping choices, so here’s a start. RE/DONE 80s Sustainable Basketball Shoe, $, available at RE/DONEKristine Romano, Photo & Design AssistantMy collection of hats is small but it almost entirely consists of bucket hats or similar. (What can I say? There aren’t many other styles that I think suit me…) From the adjustable strap to the oversized brim, I love everything about this one (even if everyone I’ve shown it to has said it looks straight out of The Handmaid’s Tale). I can definitely see myself wearing it all year round.COS Hemp Oversized Visor Hat, $, available at COSI’ve been curious to try Organic Basics’ undergarments for a while now as I’ve only seen or heard good things about them. Their everyday essentials look super comfortable and are all eco-friendly and ethically made. This bralette would be one of my top picks – it looks soft and I love the cut-out detail.Organic Basics TENCEL™ Lite Bralette, $, available at Organic BasicsWearing something fun when it’s cold and dreary out really lifts my spirits, especially since I’m not leaving the house much. As I brace myself for the worst of winter, I would love to get cosy in this jumper!Lazy Oaf Scribble Flower Fluffy Knit Jumper, $, available at Lazy OafSadhbh O'Sullivan, Health & Living WriterI’ve managed to avoid buying chunky boots until now (in large part because we’re indoors ALL THE TIME) and also because I could never justify the Grenson price tag. However I’m hoping to go on way more stompy, muddy walks in January and so our loyal friend Marks & Spencer is here in my time of need. This style is simple and effective and the price tag is a huuuuge incentive, too.M&S Collection Hiker Block Heel Ankle Boots, $, available at Marks & SpencerI need a new sports bra. There, I said it. But to make it a more charming purchase I’m going to get a Girlfriend Collective set for swanning around in while working from home and feeling actively productive, tyvm.Girlfriend Collective Paloma Stretch Sports Bra, $, available at Net-A-PorterI’ve become quite dedicated to bandanas recently. I’ve actually knitted my own and started wearing it as a substitute hat when my ears are cold and I sincerely love it. But I want to grow my collection and this beautiful number is the perfect chic addition for slightly warmer days.Arkitaip x Hotel Magique Face Scarf, $, available at ArkitaipVicky Spratt, Features EditorHats always look weird on me. I don’t know why, they just do. But I recently realised that berets look alright! And as it looks as though long, cold walks are set to be a big part of my social life for the foreseeable future, I’ve decided to get a fancy one! Toast Felted Beret, $, available at ToastIn a similar vein, spending so much time outdoors has made me realise that I need to up my layering game. This wrap cardigan is perfect because it’s super cosy in its own right but I could also wear it over a polo neck.COS Wool-alpaca Wrap Cardigan, $, available at COSThis super simple, black leather cross-body bag is everything I want to accessorise my "long cold walk" outfit with. Plenty of space for all the stuff I end up taking with me: a book "just in case", a hip flask, a big bottle of water, seven bottles of hand sanitiser and approximately four different shades of tinted lip balm. Aesther Ekme Sac Large Leather Cross-body Bag, $, available at Matches FashionGeorgia Murray, Junior Fashion EditorI’ve got back into leopard print in a serious way of late, and this ‘60s number has all the markers of a perfect handbag: a top handle, gold fastenings, enough room to store essentials, and an old Parisian vibe. Plus, it’s vintage. J’adore!Rokit Vintage 60s Leather & Ponyskin Leopard Print Bag, $, available at RokitEvery pair of Levi’s I’ve invested in this year I’ve worn to death, so I’m getting some more. The brand’s Ribcage style is my favourite as it's mega flattering and sorts the problem that my waist is proportionally smaller than my thighs, fitting like a glove. They come up fairly long, so I get them taken up at my local dry cleaner's. Levis Levi's-Jeans Ribcage 72693, $, available at Amazon FashionI’ve worn my cream Barbour by ALEXACHUNG trench religiously and, considering how rainy this lovely island is, another wear-anywhere jacket seems like a good investment. This boxy wax jacket will see me from a wet January through to festival season and beyond, with everything from floral dresses to wide-leg jeans. Barbour x Alexa Chung Margot Waxed Cotton Jacket, $, available at BarbourAnna Jay, Art DirectorOur junior fashion editor was talking about how we should get our jeans tailored the other day so I’m looking out for secondhand pairs in colours I know I wear often, as I so often find high street jeans too short or tight on the calf. Make sure to buy them a size or two up for tailoring.Acne Studios Konst Slim Jeans, $, available at Vestiaire CollectiveThe colours on these are so cute, perfect for spring and beyond. Nike P-6000, $, available at NikeAs an investment purchase I'd be looking for the best quality, and to keep it the better side of affordable I'm looking for pre-owned. This viscose/cotton blend blazer is a good mix of fabric and a classic shape; just what I'm looking for. Stella McCartney Black Viscose Jacket, $, available at Vestiaire CollectiveJessica Morgan, Staff WriterI love jewellery but I always lose everything so I only tend to wear earrings that I don’t have to take out all the time. These pearl studs are so pretty and so me, I just have to have them. Pearls go with just about everything and they make you look classy, elegant and stylish. And for under £50, they're a bargain! Kate Spade Pearl Ear Crawlers, $, available at kate spadeI’ve been wanting these jeans for so long. There’s nothing better than a great pair of Levi’s. They are heritage, they keep for years and they can easily be passed down. Total investment piece, plus they go with just about anything. Levi Ribcage Flare Jeans, $, available at Levi'sI’ve been wanting to add a varsity jacket to my wardrobe for as long as I can remember and this beautiful jacket by Opening Ceremony has my name all over it. It is pricey but I think I would get a lot of wear out of it. The leather sleeves make it a luxe choice to wear all year round.Opening Ceremony Shrunken Varsity Jacket, $, available at ASOSAlicia Lansom, Editorial AssistantI love wearing earrings, but I always forget to put them in. These silver sleepers eliminate that problem by being tiny enough to sleep in, meaning that I don’t need to ever take them out. Simple, stylish and sustainable, these fair trade beauties are going straight in my basket.Birdsong Silver Sleeper Hoops, $, available at BirdsongMy current scarf is bright pink and sheds like a long-haired cat, so I’ve been on the lookout for a replacement for quite some time. This vintage Burberry number is as classic as it comes and the neutral colourway will go with everything in my wardrobe. Plus it’s 100% wool, meaning it will keep me toasty throughout England’s eternal winter.Burberry Wool Scarf, $, available at Vestiaire CollectiveWhen I say I adore sunglasses, I mean that even when it's pissing it down outside, I still find an excuse to wear them. For years I have wanted to invest in a designer pair, but the hefty price tag has always stopped me. However, if the magic money fairy decides to come and visit me before the summer, it will be these Off-White dreamboats that I run towards. Off White Tortiseshell Sunglasses, $, available at Sunglass HutVicky Spratt, Features EditorI’m a sucker for a good T-shirt. And I’m a sucker for Our Legacy. I’ve just bought this ribbed off-white number in the sale and I know I’ll wear it all year. Legend has it that Obama used to wear the same thing every day. He would open his wardrobe and have multiple versions of the same suit, shirt and tie. This is what I’m aspiring to in 2020: vintage Levi’s, a good T-shirt and a nice jacket thrown over the top. That’s all I need in the morning to take me from my bed to a seat on the top deck of the bus in 20 minutes flat. Our Legacy Slim Jersey T-Shirt, $, available at Our LegacyAs aforementioned, I am looking to streamline my clothing options this year. Keeping it plain and simple with my day-to-day dressing. But at heart I’m still a maximalist so will absolutely need all the gold jewellery I can get. These Laura Lombardi earrings will make me look like I’ve thought about what I’m doing when, in reality, I haven’t. Laura Lombardi Fiore Gold-Tone Earrings, $, available at Net-A-PorterI probably shouldn’t wear jeans every single day so I’m considering mixing it up. These Ganni cords would be perfect as a variation on the plain-T-shirt-nice-trousers theme. Ganni Panelled Corduroy Wide-Leg Trousers, $, available at Matches FashionSerena Brown, Creative AssistantWhen it comes to investment bags, it’ll probably only ever be a bum bag for me. My one at the moment is hanging by a thread so I think it’s time to upgrade to this cute North Face.The North Face 94 Rage 'Em Bum Bag, $, available at ASOSI’ve really been wanting this Stussy tee for a while, anything in the Ghanaian flag colours is a winner for me. I just need to find a way to justify spending the £…Stussy Logo Jacquard Striped Cotton T-Shirt, $, available at MR PORTERAs someone who literally only owns white trainers that I always manage to ruin, I thought it was about time I invested in some decent black creps that’ll last me through the year. Nike Shox TL Shoes, $, available at NikeSadhbh O’Sullivan, Health and Living WriterI see these fully recycled tights (a world first!) as an investment in every sense – a closet staple made to last, without harming the planet.swedish stockings 50 Denier Innovation Tights in Black, $, available at People TreeI love these straight-leg jeans from Monkee, an ethical and sustainable denim brand. They’re the perfect everyday style to be dressed up or down.Monkee Genes Organic Straight Leg Slim Fit Jeans in Dark Wash, $, available at Monkee GenesIf I were to ever spend money like this on anything, it would be a) vintage and b) Halston. I’m obsessed with this coat, which would bring so much colour to a drab time of year and can also be styled as a dress. Bonus points for being ultrasuede which is vegan AND washable.Halston 1970s Orange Pink Ultrasuede Button Up Coat, $, available at 1st DibsLike what you see?
