We can't help but emanate high-spirited energy in the New Year from our wellness goals [1] 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 [2] and executive style director Dana Avidan Cohn [3] are loving from the latest POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's [4].
For January [5], the new collection features pretty pieces and cozy 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 colors!), 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 [6] 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 [7] 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 [9] ($50) is a fresh update to my lineup; the open weave has such a great texture to it. I plan to style this cream color 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 [10] ($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 [11] ($64). 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 [12] ($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 [13] ($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 color like this Popsugar Button Front Cardigan [14] ($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 Tie-Front Blouse
"Blue is my signature color, so it's no wonder I'm loving this pretty POPSUGAR Tie-Front Blouse [15] ($44) 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
