Here’s how I’m revamping my wardrobe for the new year.

“As 2026 swiftly approaches, I’ve decided to re-examine my capsule wardrobe. Ahead, I’ve shared the three trends that I’m gently pushing toward the back of my closet, along with the styles that I plan to rewear in the new year.
If you’d like to follow my lead, it’s worth remembering that some items are simply meant to be placed on pause—there’s no need to donate or sell them yet! Releasing doesn’t always mean letting go completely; it can simply refer to the concept of making space.
After all, fashion is cyclical, and when we allow pieces to rest, we give ourselves room to rediscover them with fresh eyes.”
Releasing (for Now): Mini Skirts
Rewearing: Pencil Skirts

“Although designers like MiuMiu have championed thigh-skimming mini skirts these past few seasons, I’ve found myself leaning toward the cleaner, quieter confidence of a pencil skirt. Styled with a tall boot and a rich cozy sweater—or a wrap jacket—the proportion of a pencil skirt feels smart and intentional. It’s classic but not boring, and its restrained silhouette embraces a subtle ‘90s sass.
A quick note on texture: pony hair anything is really speaking to me right now—especially when it shows up in accessories or footwear, grounding the look with a little edge. And colorwise, I’m fully welcoming baby blue paired with chocolate brown. This trending color combination is soft, chic and very modern.”
