26: Style Goal Setting For 2026: The First Step to Loving Your Wardrobe Again

Life in Colour

Show Notes

Today’s episode is all about style goal setting and why being intentional with your wardrobe can completely change how you feel when you get dressed.

This is a special sneak peek into one of the masterclasses I ran inside The Colour Collective, and it’s designed to help you get really clear on what you want from your wardrobe in 2026 — not just what you want it to look like, but how you want it to feel.

Because style goals are just like any other goals… if you don’t know where you’re heading, you’ll keep buying random pieces and still feel like you have nothing to wear.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through practical questions and steps to help you define your personal style direction, understand what’s working (and what isn’t), and create a wardrobe that supports your lifestyle and your confidence.

In This Episode, I Cover:

Why style goals matter just as much as health or career goals

How to figure out what you actually want your wardrobe to do for you

The difference between shopping for clothes and building a wardrobe

How to identify what’s currently working in your outfits

The key questions to ask yourself before buying anything new

How to choose a “style direction” for the year ahead

How to make your wardrobe feel more intentional (without spending a fortune)

Questions Mentioned in the Episode:

Here are a few of the questions I share to help you set your style goals:

How do I want to feel in my clothes this year?

What do I want to be known for style-wise?

What outfits do I feel my best in — and why?

What am I constantly reaching for?

What do I avoid wearing, even though I own it?

What’s missing from my wardrobe that would make getting dressed easier?

This week I'm walking you through the colours that are about to land in stores for spring and summer here in the Southern Hemisphere: straight from the Pantone London Fashion Week Trend Palette and the Pantone New York report. I go colour by colour and tell you which colour season each one belongs to, which sister palettes can borrow it, and how to actually wear it because seeing a swatch on a screen is never quite the same as having it explained to you.
