I Rounded Up the Best Free People Items so We Can All Start the Year Off Right
Sponsor Content Created With Free People
So far, 2021 is looking a lot like 2020, which is actually not so bad because we're all pretty used to sheltering in place and making the most out of this new normal. My goal for the new year, though, is to fill my closet with fresh pieces that'll actually inspire me to get dressed in the mornings. Even if I'm just donning a matching sweatsuit, the days when I get up and dressed first thing are always my most positive and productive. To turn my goal into a reality, I browsed my favorite retailer for all things cozy and cute, Free People. Of course, it had everything I was looking for: Henley tops, wide-leg bottoms, oversize sweaters, and the comfiest-looking loungewear that can totally make the cut for Zoom meetings. Below I've rounded up the best of the best for you and me. Read the story before everything's in my closet.

Aralyn Beaumont joined Who What Wear as the copy editor for branded content after a career in food media. Years of poring over intricate recipes with a fine-tooth comb and working with high-profile chefs has prepared her well for working with fashion's top brands while honoring Who What Wear's voice. Her background as a research editor makes her a finicky editor who will probably care too much about making sure all copy is as factually accurate and aligned with the house style guide as can be. Maybe it's because she's a Gemini, but her personal style is impossible to pin down: One day you'll see her in a turtleneck sweater tucked into a midi skirt with heeled boots, and the next, she'll be wearing mom jeans, a white Hanes tee, and classic Vans. At the end of the day, her style reflects her various moods. Sometimes it will be feminine and elegant, and others it will be grungy or androgynous. Certain things will always remain constant, though. She'll forever be on the hunt for the perfect pair of high-waisted jeans.
