Your Autumn Reset: Style, Self-Care and the 75 Soft Way

As the leaves begin to turn and the air shifts with a promise of new beginnings, there's a growing belief that September is the new January. It’s the perfect moment to reset, and what better way to ease into that than with the 75 soft challenge? A more sustainable and self-compassionate version of the 75 hard routine, this challenge encourages small, consistent changes that build better habits for the long term – no extremes, just intention.

And just as you refresh your mindset, now is the time to reset your wardrobe too. This season, invest in high-quality, versatile pieces that bring ease, longevity and quiet confidence to your day-to-day. Raffya’s beautifully crafted collection is full of wardrobe heroes that support your shift into slower living, thoughtful dressing, and autumn elegance.

What Is the 75 Soft Challenge?

The 75 soft challenge focuses on wellness through simplicity. The rules are manageable, designed to help you build habits without feeling overwhelmed:

• Move your body daily (a walk, a stretch, or a workout)

• Eat with balance and nourish your body

• Drink 2 litres of water each day

• Read 10 pages of a non-fiction or self-development book

• Avoid alcohol on weekdays

Think of it as a seasonal recalibration, aligning your lifestyle with rhythm, not rigidity.

Slow Down and Dress Well

The 75 soft challenge isn’t about pushing harder; it’s about living with more care – for your body, your habits and your wardrobe. By choosing fewer, better pieces like those from Raffya’s collection, you’re stepping into a more mindful season with clarity and purpose.

Make September your fresh start. Choose well. Wear often. And begin again, softly.
