As the year draws to a close, and once you've climbed the mountain of admin that is Christmas, it's the perfect time of year for taking stock of your wardrobe, as well as what you've bought this year. Does that coat or that pair of boots still give you a frisson as you slip them on? Or are you already sensing they might be fleeting (or, rather, you might be moving on next season without a second thought).
As you can probably already tell, you ideally still want to get that illicit zing from a garment or accessory that proves to you, time and time again, that it was a sound investment that will keep paying dividends. It can be hard to get it right, right? As every fashion editor will admit, impulse buys happen, enticing you as you scroll or stroll past a particularly tantalising store window. But in 2026, the aim is for less impulse, more intention.
