What’s On The Fashion Team’s Winter Moodboards

January is a chance to reset and have a little more fun with fashion, while still keeping things polished and wearable. This season, I’m leaning into faux fur and textured fringing to bring depth, movement and a sense of luxury to even the simplest of outfits. Coloured leather feels especially right for now – whether it’s a statement coat, trouser or accessory – and adds an instant modern lift to any look. I love anchoring these bolder elements with chunky gold jewellery for a confident, pulled-together finish, then offsetting it all with some print. Zebra or dalmatian works perfectly, adding personality without overwhelming the look. It’s about mixing texture, colour and print in a way that feels effortless but considered.

My 2026 moodboard isn’t about changing my style but refining it. It’s centred on the Chanel Métiers d’Art runway look – proof that quarter zips have never looked so chic, especially in that camel-and-denim combination. Modern tailoring plays a key role, with relaxed silhouettes that still feel sharp and considered, and nothing feels overworked. The colour palette is tight and intentional – black, navy, cream, camel, white and brown – letting proportion, fabric and styling do all the talking.

This season I’m gravitating towards pieces that feel strong but unfussy. Leather and shearling are still front and centre but worn in a cleaner, more pared-back way – oversized coats, relaxed tailoring and layers that feel effortless rather than overly-styled. I’m keeping the colour palette deliberately tight, focusing on black, brown and soft neutrals, and letting texture do the talking instead. Accessories still play an important role but they’re subtle and considered – good sunglasses, sculptural jewellery and bags that feel timeless rather than trend-led. Overall, it’s about investing in pieces that feel modern and wearable, and building outfits that look pulled together without feeling overthought.

My moodboard is all about reconnecting with the things in fashion that genuinely excite me right now. It’s a chance to take stock of what I’m gravitating towards and, more importantly, work out why. If there’s one clear takeaway, it’s texture. I can’t get enough of it. Any piece where the fabric has been manipulated – whether that’s through pleating, ruching, feathers or clever cutting – instantly grabs my attention. It’s that added dimension that elevates even the simplest silhouette and makes an outfit feel considered rather than throwaway. Also, my long-standing love affair with animal print is showing no signs of slowing down. From classic leopard to bold zebra, it continues to be a wardrobe staple but this season I’m also embracing bambi prints – a softer, more playful take that still delivers impact. When it comes to colour, teal and green are the shades I keep coming back to. Both feel rich, confident and timeless, while still adding interest to winter looks.

My moodboards always include timeless pieces that feel true to my style: a TOTEME trench, something stripey by Dagmar and a classic Cartier watch. I’ve also included two trends I've enjoyed recently – fringing details by Liberowe and a faux-fur collared coat by Nour Hammour. I love how these details can add interest to even the simplest of looks. I’ve also added a nod to Ralph Lauren with this suede bag – the heritage brand is my current obsession – and something bridal. I love the chic cape details at Givenchy and the elegance of this Chanel look – it caught my eye on the runway and went straight onto my 2026 moodboard.

This season, my moodboard is driven by drama and contrast. I’m drawn to exaggerated textures like feathered dresses and plush faux fur, offset by smart leather and sharp tailoring. There’s something powerful about balancing softness with structure, whether that’s a sculptural coat worn over sheer tights or a minimal silhouette elevated by statement accessories. Colour-wise, I’m gravitating towards rich reds, chocolate browns and black, anchoring everything with strong heels and polished hardware. It’s about creating looks that feel directional and fashion-led, while still remaining wearable in real life.
