With the New Year almost here, it’s time not only to look back and evaluate what you have done in the past year and what has changed for you, but also to look ahead. Many people decide around the end of December or at the beginning of January what their New Year’s resolutions are. While this is a good day to start something new in your life, any day is a good first day for doing something new. This is why you should not get discouraged if you don’t start your resolutions exactly on January 1st.
We have put together a list of style resolutions, as there are many things anyone can do change in their habits, in order to improve their appearance. When you look good, you feel good, so doing something to improve your look is not only in the benefit of your outside, but also in the benefit of your inside.
Here are our style resolutions ideas:
1) Work out at least three times a week. Working out, running or playing team or individual sports will not only make you look more toned and healthier, but it will also improve your attitude a lot.
2) Exfoliate your skin two or three times a week. If you exfoliate your skin, you will remove the bad cells from it, making you look fresher and younger every day. Just make sure that you don’t do it too often.
3) Cut or style your hair regularly. Getting a haircut or a new hairdo every three weeks is a style resolution from which many men could benefit. Even if you won’t actually do it every three weeks, remember to get it done as often as possible, regardless of whether you keep your hair long or short.
4) Have your clothes tailored. A good tailor can do more wonders for your attitude than any pills. Take some clothes to a tailor or have some clothes done on your size and you won’t believe how impressed you will be by the power of fitting clothes.
5) Buy more or less. Some people buy more clothes than they can wear, while others are stuck with the same outdated clothes for the last 20 years. If you shop too much, it’s time to cut down; but if you never buy beautiful clothes, maybe it’s time to treat yourself to a couple of nice new things.
6) Try something new. Every once in a while, it is recommended to try new sartorial and styling things. They can be anything, from a color or a fabric you wear, to dying your hair or getting a new haircut. Your style can’t evolve if you don’t do things differently, and your style should always develop. There’s nothing wrong with that.
Taking on new style habits might not be the easiest thing in the world, and you might skip them sometimes, but you should always encourage yourself and continue from where you left off or take it from the beginning. Taking a break or starting over is better than not doing anything at all. You should always do your best to be the best version of yourself, and to anything you can to make yourself feel confident, strong and ready to go.

I know thee great tips are for men but I shared some of your above points to my 10 year niece yesterday- for instance I was telling her it wasnt about how pretty or thin she was but about being the best of herself that she could be…your point about personal fitness is also right on the money!
Dear Biki,
Thank you for the comment! Most tips on our website apply to ladies and girls as well. OK, maybe those on shaving not so much, haha.
We are glad you shared the tips with your niece, send us our best wishes and a wonderful new year!

Loving these! Funny enough, my style resolutions are exactly the same and the ones in this post!
For #4 I’m focusing on making more of my own clothes so that counts as tailoring right? And for #5 it wold be buy more shoes or more specifically: build up my shoe “collection”. Since this year I focused on building my wardrobe and I’m pretty contempt with it, for 2016 I want to focus on finding the perfect/essential shoes.
Dear Filomena,
It’s so great to hear you have taken on the same resolutions!
Making your own clothes definitely counts as tailoring – it’s all about wearing well-tailored clothes.
Wish you all the best putting together the perfect shoe collection!
