No January Blues Here: Comfort, Warmth & Wintering Well at INIS

Perfect cosy afternoon at home - shop Helen's outfit in store & online

Well, that’s that then, the Christmas tree is packed away for another year. What a December we had at INIS! It was our busiest month yet, both in-store and online, and we just want to start by saying a huge, heartfelt thank you to every single one of you who shopped with us, recommended us, popped in for a browse and a chat, or supported us in any way. It really means the world to us!

Now that the festive rush has gently eased, January invites us to slow down, settle in, and really embrace the season. It’s a time for comfort, warmth, and living life at a slower, softer pace.

Comfort First: Winter Wardrobe Essentials

January can feel a little bleak, but at INIS we’re all about leaning into comfort, warmth, and quality – pieces that make everyday winter dressing feel effortless and uplifting.

Here are a few of our top winter wardrobe ideas:

• Soft, natural fabrics: Wool blends, organic cottons, and brushed textures feel gentle on the skin and keep you cosy throughout the day. Discover knitwear here...

• Effortless style pieces: Think easy trousers with a soft jumper, relaxed dresses with tights, or a beautifully cut knit that works on its own.

• Touches of warmth: Cosy scarves, brushed socks, and textured accessories can make an outfit feel complete and comforting.

• Clothes that feel like home: Prioritise comfort without sacrificing style – pieces that you’ll actually want to wear at home, to the shops, or for a quiet walk outside.

These are the kinds of pieces we carefully curate at INIS – timeless, wearable, and made to last well beyond one season. Explore our January sale for cosy pieces you’ll love!

Wintering Well: Looking After Yourself This Season

Winter isn’t just about how we dress – it’s also about how we slow down and take care of ourselves. January is the perfect time to embrace a gentler pace – a time for comfort, warmth, and living life at a slower, softer rhythm.

A few simple wellbeing reminders we’re loving right now:

• Embrace rest: It’s okay to hibernate a little. Early nights, cosy evenings, and saying no when you need to can be incredibly restorative.

• Create small daily comforts: Light a favourite candle, spritz a comforting fragrance, wrap up in a soft knit – tiny rituals can make a big difference.

  
  

• Get outside when you can: Even a short walk in fresh air can boost energy and mood during darker days.

• Be kind to yourself: January doesn’t need pressure, resolutions, or reinvention. Gentle intentions are more than enough.

As we move into the new year, our focus remains the same: quality, comfort, and pieces you’ll truly love wearing.

Thank you again for being part of the INIS community – we can’t wait to welcome you in-store or online very soon.

Here’s to a cosy, calm, and comfort-filled January.

With love,

Claire & Team INIS

INIS in December: A Little More Sparkle, A Lot More Community!

December has officially arrived at INIS and, safe to say…we’re feeling all the festive feels!

Between planning Christmas outfits, wrapping up gifts and counting down to our new store opening, this month already feels full in the best way. There’s a real sense of excitement and connection around INIS right now, and it’s a lovely reminder of how grateful we are for our community — the women who support us, recommend us and choose to shop with us!

So, what have we been up to? Or should we say, what haven’t we been up to… Here’s a little catch-up.

A Peek Behind The Scenes:

Our Christmas Content Shoot

Last week, we got together at the beautiful Rinkhill Lodge to film our Christmas content, it really didn’t feel like work at all to be honest. Lots of laughter, twinkly lights, party outfits and cosy knits were the order of the day. It was a lovely chance to come together, collaborate and create something that truly reflects what INIS is about — comfort, quality and community. This is just a little peek from the day, and we’ll be sharing plenty more across our socials throughout December and into January, so make sure you’re following along and you don’t want to miss a thing.

This shoot was all about capturing what INIS stands for, comfort you can feel, quality you can trust, and pieces that help you feel like yourself. A special thank you to Helen, one of our wonderful customers, for being our model for the day, and to Fiona at Rinkhill for letting us use her beautiful property. Collaboration is one of our core values after all, and this shoot was the perfect example of it in action.

Seasonal Dressing:

Easy Styling Tips from Us to You

1. Dress it down, then dress it up!

A simple, beautifully cut dress can take you from day to night just by switching up your accessories. Add boots and a cosy waistcoat for day, then swap to a heel and statement earrings for evening.

Shop our dresses here: https://www.inisonline.com/dresses

We love this sparkly knitted midi dress from Seasalt - taking you from day to night in style!

2. Layer with purpose

Don’t underestimate the power of layers. Think soft knitted waistcoats, down filled puffa's and timeless wool blend coats, all designed to keep you warm without compromising on style.

Browse our coats & jackets here: https://www.inisonline.com/jackets

Make a statement in this warm & waterproof padded coat - the metallic finish giving you a little extra sparkle!

3. Comfort is always on trend

At INIS, comfort is key. If it doesn’t feel good, it doesn’t belong in your wardrobe - simple as that. Choose pieces that move with you and make you feel at ease, especially during these winter months.

INIS Top Tips For Late Autumn Style:

Claire and the team have been busy getting the new Peebles store ready, and while we’ve been styling the rails, we’ve picked out a few ways to make your late autumn outfits feel effortless and cosy. Here are our top tips...

Layer Like A Pro

Late autumn can be unpredictable with chilly mornings and milder afternoons, which is why clever layering is essential at this time of year. We’re loving versatile pieces that let you tweak your outfit with ease as the day goes on: a classic cotton shirt under a knitted tabard, (this season’s hero piece for sure!). Pop on a felted wool jacket, and you’re good to go!

Mix Your Textures

Create depth and interest in your outfit by mixing different fabrics, textures and patterns. We love pairing chunky knitwear with soft cords for a rich, seasonal feel.

Bring Your Accessory A-Game

Scarves, hats, gloves, and statement boots do more than keep you warm, they elevate your outfit instantly. A bold scarf can brighten a neutral sweater, while leather boots keep your look grounded and practical for icy pavements and the rain. You can even accessorise your favourite PJs with a gorgeous pair of fluffy-lined Birkenstocks, keeping you stylish and cosy, even at home!

These tips are just the start! Whether you’re updating your wardrobe for cosy everyday layers or adding statement pieces for special occasions, we’ve got everything you need in our new Peebles store. Doors open this month (date tbc), come and explore our late autumn collections, find your favourite pieces, and let us help you put together effortless seasonal outfits.
