The Grazia Fashion Team’s New Year’s Style Resolutions

Julia Harvey, shopping editor: 'My style resolution is to break away from my go-to uniform of an oversized shirt and jeans, to be a little more experimental and wear those things that have been staring at me from my wardrobe for far too long. This won't mean straying away from my go-to colour (black) but it will mean having more fun with clothes. I love to find one-off pieces, so, aside from the high-street which is great for those staple pieces, I will be hitting eBay, vintage clothing sites and charity shops to find some gems.'

'I've also been in need of finding a pair of glasses (as I now need to invest in some specs) which I have found to be quite the decision. I love Jimmy Fairly and Bloobloom, both of which have some great frames that I'll be trying on come January.'

Natalie Hammond: fashion news and features editor: 'My style goal is to look smarter. I usually run around in trainers, combats and puffer jackets, but want to pare things back with a single-breasted coat, bought a size up, dark indigo jeans and black leather brogues. Am I turning into a minimalist?!'

'I'm planning to wear these with sheer tights and minis during party season - and will switch to ribbed tennis socks and wide-leg jeans next year.'

Harriet Davey, freelance fashion editor, stylist and writer: 'I want to rent outfits so I get to try out designers and not buy as many clothes. I've been eyeing up Taller Marmo dresses on Instagram all year, so for 2023, I finally want to see one in the flesh. This feather-adorned mini is about as extra as a dress can get, but as someone who likes to dress up, I'm all for going OTT no matter the time of year.'

Gavi Weiss, fashion assistant: 'It’s so easy to default to big name brands when I’m looking for a wardrobe refresh. This year I want to support more small businesses in the UK. MadSeventies is one of my favourite London brands, repurposing vintage blazers with a western twist!'

Jane McFarland: associate editor: 'My resolution is to banish black from my wardrobe and introduce more colour - I refuse to use the term dopamine dressing, but one needs to be buoyed in January and I can’t resist the feel-good vibe of & Daughter’s multicoloured knitwear.'

Hannah Banks-Walker: head of fashion commerce: 'My New Year style resolution is to 'shop' my own wardrobe. As ridiculous as that sounds, I want to try and rediscover my clothes and stop relying on the same few pieces every day. It feels quite difficult in the winter months to bother to invent outfits or play with what I'm wearing - the temptation is just to wrap my entire body in a blanket and be done with it - but I'm going to try and make the effort to do just that.'

Susie Lethbridge, freelance fashion assistant: 'One of my resolutions for 2023 is to buy less fast-paced trend pieces and invest in more long-term staples; quality over quantity. Services like The Restory are on hand to support this; bringing old and dated clothing back to life with moth hole-fixing, debobbling and reheeling services – all available in a second! If I do buy something, it'll be staples like this cashmere cardigan from Guest in Residence, which is good quality enough to last and isn't too trendy so can be worn year after year.'
