Monthly outfit guide
January outfits
How the light falls in January, which fabrics are worn, how many layers it takes — and how each of the twelve colour seasons reads the month.
January light
January light is flat and directionless. Pale tones vanish; depth carries.
Fabric and layers
In January, the fabrics are heavy wool, cashmere, shearling, thick rib knit, and flannel.
4 layers: a month worn stacked, with the weight shared between the pieces.

Read this month in your own colours
The colour analysis happens once: your skin tone, hair and eyes are read, and your season and your palette come out of it. After that it is every month — January included, an issue written for that month's light and fabrics.
