THE YEAR OF THE HORSE: BOLD COLOR, FREE SPIRIT

January always feels like a reset, quieter, clearer, and full of possibility. With the start of the Year of the Horse, we’re leaning into that forward-moving energy: confidence, creativity, and trusting your instincts a little more than usual.

The Horse symbolizes strength, independence, and boldness, choosing color, taking risks, and showing up as yourself. That mindset felt like a natural match for The Great’s new tapestry floral collection. The prints are expressive, the colors are confident, and the pieces feel meant to be worn right now, not saved for later.

This collection is about starting the year with personality, getting dressed in a way that feels joyful, intentional, and true to you.

LOOK ONE: THE STATEMENT SKIRT

The outfit that sets the tone.

The perfectwhitetee Tank in Tomato brings an immediate hit of color, simple, strong, and easy to wear. Paired with The Great Regency Skirt in Tapestry Floral. The skirt’s structured cotton, full pleats, and wide waistband give it presence, while the floral print keeps it playful.

The look is finished with the Jacksons Tres Bein Beaded Clutch, adding texture and hand-crafted detail, plus the Janessa Leone Jude Hat to ground the color story. A Cotton Ramble Bandana in Cactus tied at the neck adds a, personal touch.

And since it’s the Year of the Horse no, we didn’t manage to get an actual horse for the photoshoot,  but we did introduce Henry, Lola’s newest (and fluffiest) model. Styled in the Cotton Field Bandana in Chartreuse, he fit right in.

LOOK TWO: THE CREATIVE MIX

This look is all about balance: print, color, and ease.

The Chariot Top in Tapestry Floral features colorful blooms and softly gathered sleeves. Paired with Xirena Draper Pants in Mint Leaf, the outfit feels comfortable, intentional, and wearable from morning to afternoon.

Illesteva Capri Sunglasses add a classic finishing touch, while the Clare V. Petit Moyen in natural woven checker ties everything together with texture.

This look is for those who embrace color thoughtfully, playful yet polished, bold yet wearable.

LOOK THREE: THE EASY STATEMENT

An everyday piece that still feels special.

The Great Fairground Dress in Tapestry Floral is an easy pullover midi with a flattering V-neck and soft puff sleeves. The tapestry print brings color and character, while the silhouette keeps it effortless to wear.

Styled with the Janessa Leone Judith Hat, the look feels timeless and practical, made to travel with you, wherever the day goes. Illesteva Leonard Sunglasses add a touch of contrast and polish.

It’s the kind of dress you throw on and instantly feel like yourself,  no second guessing required.

WHY THE GREAT FEELS RIGHT FOR THE YEAR OF THE HORSE

The Year of the Horse is about bold choices, forward motion, and dressing with confidence. The Great understands that style should feel lived-in, expressive, and deeply personal.

We’re loving:

• Bold Florals that feel joyful and artistic

• Confident Color Stories — tomato red, mint green, tapestry blooms

• Timeless Shapes that move with you, season after season

• Playful Accessories that make every outfit feel intentional

These are pieces meant to be worn, loved, and lived in - not saved for “someday.”

As we move into the year ahead, we’re choosing color, personality, and pieces that make us feel energized and inspired. Here’s to starting the Year of the Horse with confidence, creativity, and a little fearless fun.

Because bold beginnings deserve equally bold style.
