There’s no better time for resolutions than the beginning of the year. January brings the perfect opportunity to leave past mistakes behind and plan your strategy for the year ahead. Embracing opportunities and handling challenges responsibly turns any difficulty into a chance for reinvention.
In our opinion, your wardrobe can be the ideal starting point for this adventure. So, if you also want to make a change this year, here are 5 ways to improve your style in 2024!
1. Avoid Compulsive Shopping
In other words, avoid buying on impulse or for emotional reasons. You went overboard on Black Friday, emptied your card at Christmas, and the January stock sales will make your head spin! Don’t chase discounts just for the sake of discounts. Does it really suit you? Do you truly like it? An unwritten rule says that if you would be willing to pay full price, it’s genuinely for you. If not, don’t “throw yourself” at it.
2. Invest in Quality
Forget off-the-rack suits! They are made industrially, following pre-set patterns. Without major tailoring adjustments, such a suit will most likely fit like a sack. Invest in quality! Even if it costs a bit more, the cost per wear will be lower. Plus, the measurements, fit, and material are 100% under your control, ensuring a product that truly represents you. A made-to-measure suit becomes an investment, not just a purchase. Otherwise, if you buy cheap, you end up buying twice!
3. Build a Capsule Wardrobe
As we wrote in an earlier article HERE, a capsule wardrobe is a collection of essential clothes, limited in number but versatile in color, which can be combined to create a large number of unique outfits. The capsule wardrobe concept emerged in the 1970s and focuses on quality rather than quantity. Its goal is to give you a wide range of combinatory possibilities for any occasion, without overloading your closet. So, if you want to reach that point, a capsule wardrobe is the tool that helps you achieve maximum efficiency with a reasonable investment.
4. Find a Tailor
Even if you’ve invested in a quality suit, remember one thing: your body doesn’t stay the same; it changes over time. That’s why it’s wise to befriend a tailor who is always ready to adjust the jacket waist or the trousers’ fit. Moreover, a tailor is more than just a craftsman; they are an excellent source of information! When you’re looking for the best dry cleaner in town or a quick trick to remove creases from your jacket, your tailor is the first person to turn to. So, if you’ve neglected your tailor until now, 2024 is the year to strengthen that relationship!
5. Add a Pop of Color
Many men choose to stay in the safe zone out of fear of making a mistake. However, a small pop of color pleasantly highlights your mood and playful sense. A bold tie, a playful scarf, or colorful socks are all you need to carefully step out of your comfort zone. In 2024, our key advice is: experiment!
These are 5 simple yet effective ways to improve your wardrobe style this year. Motivation to evolve and openness to new experiences complement your style and lay a solid brick in your urban personality. Go for it!
