The start of a new year means one thing for fashion lovers: sale season is here! This January, Timeless London invites you to refresh your wardrobe with significant discounts on elegant dresses and coordinating pieces. Experts agree that planning is key: Harper’s Bazaar urges shoppers to “skip the shopping rush and lock in the perfect party dress now”. In the UK, January sales live up to the hype. The British Retail Consortium reports that “January sales are good news for bargain hunters, with significant discounts, particularly for fashion”.
Whether you’re hunting for the perfect New Year’s Eve ensemble or simply upgrading your everyday style, our New Year Sale 2026 has you covered. You’ll find everything from statement party dresses to cozy winter staples. Fashion insiders highlight trends to watch: breezy silhouettes and bold prints for dresses, plus sumptuous fabrics like velvet and sequins for cold-weather glamour. As InStyle notes, velvet’s soft, luxurious texture is “one of the most underrated fabrics to combat the cold,” offering warmth without bulk. Similarly, sequins remain “a staple for every New Year’s celebration,” an easy way to make a statement. Our sale collection reflects these insights with plenty of velvet gowns, woollen knits, and floral frocks at irresistible prices.
Trending Styles for 2026
The New Year is about fresh beginnings and bold style moves. This season’s dress trends lean into vintage romance and modern elegance. WhoWhatWear predicts “breezy silhouettes, bold prints, and effortless styling” as key themes, which you can see in our selection of midi dresses and fit-and-flare shapes. We also feature classic Winter tones and textures: deep emerald, burgundy, and navy velvets; timeless tartan checks; and rich wool blends that feel luxurious and warm.
For example, statement velvet dresses abound: the Balia Midi Dress (burgundy velvet) offers long puffy sleeves and a flowing skirt for a “dreamy” evening look. Its green sister, the Balia Green Velvet Midi Fit and Flare Swing Dress, dazzles in an emerald hue with the same elegant silhouette. Off-shoulder styles are also in; the sleek Rhia Black Midi Velvet Fitted Midi Dress is a curve-enhancing black dress with a faux bow detail, perfect for festive evenings. Each piece takes cues from past eras (note the retro ’50s shape of the Cherise and Rege dresses) while meeting modern quality standards.
But of course, not every occasion calls for velvet. Floral and gingham prints add brightness to winter palettes. The Lula Rose Print Dress in Viscose is a soft, airy midi covered in a rose pattern, vintage-inspired and easy to wear with boots or a blazer. Brighten up casual days with the Sonny Midaxi Yellow Gingham Dress, a sunny cotton frock with a smocked bodice and playful ruffle skirt. And for a pop of classic print, the Rege Mini Dress features a black-and-white gingham weave in a fitted 1950s shift style (pair it with trainers or heels as you like).
