Expand my palette. Heading into 2025, I want to add a few pops of color to my wardrobe: a maroon cashmere here, an azure knit there, and maybe a multicolored mohair of some sort. This will be a huge deal within my friend group, since I rarely stray from neutrals. —Anthony O’Baner Jr., executive assistant to the global editorial director
Excavate my wardrobe. If last year was about falling in love, this year is about committing—to the clothes I already wear regularly, sure, but also to the sad, forgotten closet gems in need of a little more attention. —Avidan Grossman, senior commerce editor
Find my Goldilocks wardrobe mix. I never want to lean too heavily into one lane, be it Ivy League prep, rugged western wear, traditional tailoring, or any other subset of modern menswear. This year, I was too often guilty of boxing myself in to a specific look, which ultimately stifled my creativity and love for clothing. Now, I’m shifting my focus to blending all the aesthetics that inspire me in an effort to arrive at my best self. Maybe that means a cowboy-ready shirt with a Yale-ready blazer, or some vintage military pants with a Harris tweed sport coat. Are these groundbreaking combinations? Absolutely not. Will it be a fun, achievable challenge for me to dial in my ideal blend? 100%. —Doug Branlund McClenahan, Discord community manager
Bare some torso. My name is Tyler, and I am a serial outfit repeater. My goal in 2024 was to stop being self-conscious about wearing the same looks over and over again, and it’s definitely made it easier to get dressed on the daily. Now, I’ve decided to take on my colleague Joel Pavelski’s resolution from last year: I plan on showing more skin in 2025. OK, not that much skin. But cropped tops are still hot right now, so you might just see a little midriff every now and again. —Tyler Chin, associate commerce editor
Keep doing me. Last year, my goal was to own less—to pare down my closet to stuff I actually love and wear—and I would say I generally accomplished that. Or, at least, I generally made a wholehearted effort to accomplish that; most days, when I look at my closet, I know what I want to reach for and feel glad when I wear it. So, high on that feeling of progress, my resolution for 2025 is to hone even further, to constantly refresh the rotation, so that I can keep clothing new versions of myself. —Eileen Cartter, staff writer
Take it all off. Every summer, I tell myself that this is the year I’ll finally buzz my head. Every summer, I chicken out and hold fast to my precious locks. Come June 2025, though, my noggin at last gets its day in the sun. —Yang-Yi Goh, style editor
Proceed with lightness. My plan for 2025 is to let go of the things I’m not wearing, and embrace a sense of play and discovery and magpie-like affection for the things I buy. It’s just clothes. There’s no uniform anymore. It’s not that serious. —Joel Pavelski, global director of content strategy
