A year of tidying up your closet for fun has likely prepared it for some synergy between closets: the magic that occurs when an already tweaked wardrobe gets some key additions and its contents snap into place perfectly. Pass on rigid style resolutions in 2021. Instead, lean into the joyful and the unexpected – only what makes you feel absolutely the best.

THE RESOLUTION:
Build your permanent collection.
Investing in meaningful, off-trend pieces – a sparkling starter ring, a bespoke pendant – gives you a list of parts that you will wear until it’s time to pass them on. And in this post-makeup existence, a good pair of face frames is the best way to freshen up before an impromptu FaceTime.

THE RESOLUTION:
Investment pieces via impulse purchases.
A cherry red designer bag is not an impulse buy. It is an outspoken outfit maker. Three seasons old denim in a style that you don’t prefer, but you bought it anyway because, well … sale? Donate it. Less is more, and the one-out-one-in rule has room for your next investment.

THE RESOLUTION:
Raise your confidante.
There is the satin, lace-like collection that looks like a tangle of laces. There are tons of mismatched cotton underwear and long forgotten push-up bras. Both drawers are ready for a slip. Freshen them up with plush tank-and-boy shorts that doubles as loungewear, as well as a whole range of lingerie that are so simple they are sexy.

THE RESOLUTION:
Be the fun one.
The right uplifting print or bold hue will blend in with your wardrobe – and fill the room (or zoom) with energy every time you wear it. Go big on flowers, lean into graphic lines and embrace sweeping, frilly silhouettes that underline the feminine atmosphere. Too much? White sneaks in with a little blue spring preview too.
