1. WORK UP A SWEAT
If you’re thinking about a New Year’s resolution, getting a little more active is always a good place to start. And by “active”, it doesn’t mean intense workouts or running marathons – just finding ways to move your body that feel good. Whether you choose to flow through yoga, enjoy the fresh air with a walk, or give reformer pilates a go, they will all make noticeable difference over time. It’s one of those goals that quietly improves your mood, energy and overall well-being without feeling like a chore.
Let yourself feel inspired by the latest pieces from New Balance, Sweaty Betty, Anine Bing and more. Sometimes having the right outfit is all the motivation you need to get moving.
2. SECURE THAT PROMOTION
In 2026, it’s all about stepping into your goals with intention. Whether you’re aiming for a promotion, levelling up your skills or simply finding your rhythm at work, the key is setting clear objectives and staying focused. It’s about showing up and taking the steps that move you closer to where you want to be. This year, it’s not just about working hard, it’s about working smarter with purpose.
While ambition starts with mindset, the right accessories and workwear can give you extra confidence along the way. From quarter zips and loafers to belts and fragrances, brands like Tommy Hilfiger, BOSS and Paco Rabanne offer work-ready staples that help you look and feel the part.
3. COSY VIBES
Making space to read more in the new year is one of those resolutions that feels both comforting and meaningful. It’s not about racing through a long reading list or finishing a certain number of books – it’s about slowing down and giving yourself a moment of quiet in an otherwise busy day. Maybe it’s a few pages before bed, a chapter on your commute or a lazy Sunday afternoon with a novel. Reading becomes less of a goal and more of a moment to unwind, learn and escape.
And when it comes to setting the scene, it’s all about the little things: fluffy knits, scented candles and indulgent skincare from brands like Ganni, Clarins and Jo Malone London, all helping to turn downtime into something you look forward to.
4. THE RECIPE FOR SUCCESS
If you’re looking for a resolution that feels both rewarding and fun, spending more time in the kitchen is a great one to lean into. In 2026, it’s time to channel your inner Martha Stewart, and build a little more confidence with cooking and baking. Whether you’re perfecting a new dessert for a friend’s birthday, levelling up your Sunday roast for family gatherings, or simply enjoying the process, our kitchen edit has everything you need to make it all feel easy (and pass the taste test).
For all the tools you need to bring your culinary ideas to life, look to names like Mason Cash, Smeg and Prochef. Featuring everything from essential utensils to those little extras that make cooking feel effortless and enjoyable.
5. GET BACK TO NATURE
Thinking of getting a little greener this year? Gardening is a lovely way to slow things down and reconnect with nature. Maybe that’s growing herbs on a windowsill, refreshing your garden or caring for a few houseplants. However it looks for you, gardening brings a quiet sense of purpose and patience, inviting you to nurture something over time.
For your gardening days, a classic waxed jacket and a pair of wellies have you sorted. And don’t forget your SPF, ensuring your skin stays protected after some time in the sun. Look to brands like Barbour, Birkenstock and Clarins for your simple yet reliable essentials, that make spending time outdoors feel easy.
