The rise of emotional accessories

Leave the drama to your hats

January is often a bit of a lull. After the festive frenzy of December, it feels almost like a pause—a quiet moment to catch your breath. It’s the ideal time to slow down and nurture yourself. Or maybe January first part is designed for that ? Far removed from the hustle of New Year’s resolutions and social obligations, whether professional or personal, January offers a welcome reprieve. No one expects anything from you, and I’ve come to realize I actually quite love that sense of liberation.

It’s like the longest Sunday ever—and honestly, I’ve been enjoying every moment.

You do what you can. You take your time to slow down and measure, perhaps what happened last year, to better plan the year ahead. I am talking about work, but this can work for any measure really. Think about your wardrobe, as an exemple as well, you also don’t expect it to work too hard, you have gone through your work out gear and perhaps updated your pair of legging, way too worn out anyway.

You don’t have any obsession from new season, because sales are all around and you, most likely, are focusing your time and energy on something else than dressing up - or maybe you do enjoy dressing up right now, and have fun doing it but don’t you want pieces you feel at ease with, that work enough to do the styling job without being too intimidating ? I do.

Over the summer, I spoke to Sara Semic from The FT about summer hats, and I perhaps - excessively - love them - I pack 6 for the summer, well funny enough, I am not moving away from it, not now. A hat holds so much personalities, it can uplift the cleanest outfit in a heartbeat, I think it holds as much power as a drink in social event. It is a being a little friend to make you more at ease - without the hang over. So why not trying, and looking at how to wear the strongest personality building hats.
