Whether you celebrate the New Year lavishly or just have a cozy evening at home, we hope 2023 gives you inspiration to further develop your clothing style. It is also a time for many to look ahead to next year. Some even boldly proclaim their resolutions, such as going to the gym or making more time for what makes them truly happy. But what about your wardrobe? Are you starting with a clean slate or do keep building on good habits? For those still looking for inspiration, we’ve listed some powerful resolutions:
“I’m going to buy more basic pieces.”
Do you find it a chore to keep up with the latest trends? Fortunately, there are garments that never go out of style. As a man, you can’t do without plain shirts. These always look stylish no matter what combinations you make. Of course, we can’t forget basic T-shirts; the foundation for any layered outfit. Invest in a pair of high-quality jeans so you always have pants to match most occasions. In addition, you have brands that specialize in producing clothes that you can confidently wear for several years behind each other. Suitable and KnowledgeCotton Apparel are good examples.
“I’m going to downsize my wardrobe.”
There are several reasons why someone decides to downsize their wardrobe. Some men need less and want to live as simple as possible. Others do not have enough space to maintain an expansive wardrobe. A capsule wardrobe is a good solution since it only consists of the essentials. There are several methods for putting one together, but the main goal is to be aware of what you wear, buy and whether it matches your personal style. The result is an organized closet with no fuss that suits every occasion you dress for.
“I’m going to clean out my closet more often.”
It’s not the most fun job, but it’s necessary. A tidy closet not only gives you a good overview of what you have and what you need to replace, but it also saves time in the morning. Use the changing of seasons to give your closet a thorough cleaning. In most households it is common to prepare your closet for winter and summer. This means pulling everything out and critically assessing the extent to which your wardrobe is still up to date. Also be mindful on how you store your winter clothes and summer clothes. That way, your wardrobe maintains its quality. Pieces that no longer fit or are damaged can be recycled or donated to thrift stores.
“I’m going to wear more sustainable clothing”
Sustainability is touching more and more aspects of everyday life. An increasing amount of people are conscious about their energy consumption and what they eat. However, the clothing industry is still one of the most polluting industries in the world. Fortunately, as a consumer, you have a growing number of sustainable brands to choose from. These produce clothing without the use of harmful chemicals and are usually mindful of fair working conditions. For example, Ecoalf and Colorful Standard make high-quality pieces with organically grown materials. Even more reason, then, to stock your closet with high-quality sustainable shirts, sweaters, and pants.
