...Or how do we dress up to overcome the winter gloom?
You know that feeling when everything is a little quieter in January?
The lights are dimmer, the mornings come too early, the Christmas sparkle is only left in the form of tiny glitter dust in our pockets. January doesn't shout - it sighs softly.
But we at Szputnyik believe that style can be therapy , and a vintage sweatshirt sometimes says more than a motivational quote.
We've brought you some nice, tried-and-true tips on how to shake off the January gloom - in layers, colors, and small joys .
🌈 1. Color for the grey days!
If the sky is gray, don't be it .
A cheerful knitted sweater, a sequined skirt, a pink scarf – vintage clothes are magical precisely because they dare to be colorful even when the world doesn't.
💡 Tip: choose a “happy color” every morning, even if it only appears in your socks.
🧸 2. Dress like someone is hugging you
Oversized sweaters, soft knits, granny cardigans –
You don't have to be tight in January. You have to embrace yourself in January.
"Cute" is not childish. Cute is a survival strategy.
📼 3. Nostalgia = a warm blanket for the soul
Old patterns, reworked jeans, plaid jackets, warm but cool accessories.
Vintage reminds us that things used to be good – and will always be good .
💭 A piece of clothing that reminds you of a better era is sometimes just enough for a bad day.
☕ 4. Slow down – January is not a competition
Your new self doesn't have to be born on January 1st.
All you have to do is put on a nice coat, go for a hot tea, and let the sun just be .
Winter is not laziness. Winter is rest .
✨ 5. List of small pleasures
– a special ring
– a fun, patterned bag
– a funny pin, little things that will spice up your outfit
These are not unnecessary things. These are micro-happinesses .
January passes. Style remains. 💫
In January, be – a little more layered, a little more colorful, a little kinder to yourself.
If you feel like the days are too much the same,
👉 change them with a dress.
With love,
Szputnyik 💙
