The party's over, and January has arrived. It's time to pack away the sparkle, eat your greens, and revisit your wardrobe (luckily, ocean dips, long lunches and sunset drinks prevail!) 

Classic, cool and effortless styling is key for our favourite designers this season, from Marni and Ganni to Isabel Marant and Ulla Johnson.

Our new edit of the very best of 2022 is swinging happily from our rails. Here are just eight looks we love, shot by our in house creative team. Find your perfect high summer pieces and team with your non-negotiable accessory: a smile. Keep it up, and let's take on January in style.

 

New cocktail code: If the idea of slipping on heels is wearing thin, try pulling on a pair of Golden Goose instead. Isabel Marant's iconic Albi dress shines no matter what its accessories. Stand aside sunset - imaginations will be sparked.

      

 

1970s style bohemia is back with Ulla Johnson delivering on natural textures, striking patterns and rich earth shades thanks to century-old Indian wearing techniques. A piece of art, it is utterly fabulous and exudes effortless style.

      

 

Never underestimate the evening appeal of a vibrant day frock. Add a metallic bag, roped sandals, and a touch of lip gloss for casual to chic in less than 60 seconds.

      

 

A time-honoured classic, the shirtdress is always a faithful standby. Slick stripes and a clever button-up feature lend Isabel Marant's version a chic and sophisticated spin.

      

 

Just not a dress person? A frock isn't the only fashion default. Experiment with this season's prints, styling a floral blouse with tie-dye shorts. Add sneakers, sandals, or ankle boots that have your back for every summer occasion.

      

 

Because January is no reason to let your style standards slip, a well-cut shirt by Marni tucked into Matteau mannish trousers is the go-to for dressed-up chic. (Plus, that cat print is purr-fection).

      

 

Smarten up breezy holiday dressing with a Ganni skirt in candy stripes. A modern silhouette, its longer length proves you can still show off without showing off a lot of skin.

      

 

The standout of the season? Rich, statement-making purple - your passport to chic for summer. Xirena's simplistic cut in easy-wearing cotton makes it as easy to wear as a t-shirt.
