Style Resolutions So Simple,
They Keep Themselves
A year of cleaning out your closet for fun has likely left it primed for some wardrobe synergy: the magic that occurs when an already streamlined closet gets a few key additions and its contents click into place perfectly. In 2021, pass on rigid style resolutions. Instead, lean into the joyful and the unexpected—only what makes you feel your absolute best.

THE RESOLUTION:
Build your permanent collection.
Investing in meaningful, trend-defying pieces—a sparkly initial ring, a bespoke pendant—sets you up with a roster of pieces you’ll wear till it’s time to pass them on. And in this post-makeup existence, a good pair of face-framing hoops is the best way to freshen up before an impromptu FaceTime.

THE RESOLUTION:
Investment pieces over impulse buys.
A cherry-red designer bag isn’t an impulse buy; it’s an outspoken outfit-maker. Three-seasons-old denim in a cut you don’t favor but you bought it anyway because, well…sale? Donate it. Less is more, and the one-out, one-in rule makes space for your next investment.

THE RESOLUTION:
Elevate your intimates.
There’s the satin-packed, lacy-and-racy collection that looks like a tangle of shoelaces. There’s the pile of mismatched cotton undies and long-forgotten push-up bras. Both drawers are ready for a panty raid. Refresh them with soft tank-and-boy-shorts sets that double as loungewear, plus a full spread of undies so simple, they’re sexy.

THE RESOLUTION:
Be the fun one.
The right uplifting print or bold hue slips into your wardrobe seamlessly—and you’ll fill the room (or Zoom) with energy every time you wear it. Go big on blooms, lean into graphic lines, and embrace swishy, ruffly silhouettes that up the feminine vibe. Too much? White sneaks with a little spring-preview blue work, too.

THE RESOLUTION:
Take it outside.
We get it—you have other resolutions. Here to help with any and all recommitments to outdoor activity: richly colored, sporty-chic sets and sneakers for the city runner; actually cute hiking boots; and an Italian down puffer for before, during, and après hitting the slopes.
