We can't help but emanate high-spirited energy in the New Year from our wellness goals to our wardrobes. When it comes to the latter, affordable fashion is key for revving our style engines, particularly the under-$65 pieces our editor in chief Lisa Sugar [1] and executive style director Dana Avidan Cohn [2] are loving from the latest POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's [3].
For January [4], the new collection features pretty pieces and cosy staples that make the cold Winter months feel anything but dreary. Whether it's our new printed pale-blue midi dress (Dana has the best tips for how to wear it when it's cold and then later once the weather warms), high-rise paperbag-waist utility pants (you won't believe how flattering these are!), or our new open-weave cardigan (which comes in three great colours!), these new-for-January pieces will put an early Spring in your step, and for $64 or less, I might add. What's not to love?
Even better, Lisa and Dana's top picks from the new January collection [5] are extremely versatile whether you're layering a knit now and wearing it on its own with jeans come Spring; mixing-and-matching accessories with the midi dress for a seasonal feel now and later; or experimenting with silhouettes in ways you might not have thought of before (i.e. buttoning the open-weave cardigan all the way up and wearing it as a top instead of just as a top layer!). What better way to kick off your New Year's style goals?
Ahead, scroll on for Lisa and Dana's January POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's [6] picks, each piece coming in at $64 or less.
Popsugar Button Front Cardigan
"When it's cold out, I live in sweaters and this Popsugar Button Front Cardigan [8] ($50) is a fresh update to my lineup; the open weave has such a great texture to it. I plan to style this cream colour as a top with everything from jeans to skirts." — Lisa Sugar, editor in chief
POPSUGAR Utility Paperbag Pants
"I love the ease of a utilitarian pant like these POPSUGAR Utility Paperbag Pants [9] ($50). They're a bit slouchy and look great with blouses or T-shirts tucked in." — Dana Avidan Cohn, executive style director
POPSUGAR Wrap Maxi Dress
"I love the soft blue and playful print of this POPSUGAR Wrap Maxi Dress [10] ($64, coming soon!). The midi length is also perfect for transitional weather. I'm planning to wear it with tall suede boots and a leather jacket now and then swap in strappy sandals once it warms up." — DAC
POPSUGAR High Rise Straight Jeans
"These POPSUGAR High Rise Straight Jeans [11] ($50) come in such a great medium-blue wash and go with everything. They're also the perfect straight-crop silhouette, so they work perfectly with mules, boots, and sandals." — DAC
POPSUGAR Printed Rib-Trim Top
"A playful print is a must in my wardrobe and the heart motif on this POPSUGAR Printed Rib-Trim Top [12] ($44) is too cute. This month, I'll pair it with our new utility pant and high-rise jeans and come February, I'll give it a Valentine's Day spin with a feminine skirt." — LS
Popsugar Button Front Cardigan
"A cropped cardigan in a neutral colour like this Popsugar Button Front Cardigan [13] ($50) is a great addition to any wardrobe. I plan to throw it on over dresses and wear it buttoned up as a top with jeans." — DAC
POPSUGAR Crepe Tie-Front Top
"Blue is my signature colour, so it's no wonder I'm loving this pretty POPSUGAR Crepe Tie-Front Top [14] ($44, coming soon!) for January. It's the ultimate office-to-after-hours top with jeans and looks great dressed up with heels and a slim trouser for a date night." — LS
