2011 Style Resolutions

Maybe you're the type of person to make new year's resolutions.  Maybe you're not.  I'm not too sure how I feel about resolutions myself, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate a good one.  Anyhow, I reached out to some of my favorite guys working in menswear to get their thoughts on the upcoming year, which I compiled for a piece over at We Are The Market.  If you're curious as to what Nick Wooster or Tyler Thoreson is thinking about for 2011 you might want to give it a quick once over.  Or not.  For all I know your new year's resolution is to stop reading blogs.  Also, if you guys have any of your own resolutions, style or otherwise, drop them in the comments.  I have a good feeling about this one...

  2. "2. Explore other pant lengths."

    The best.

    I'm going to stop buying shit that I don't need, in turn spending more money on stuff that I do need. Pretty much buy better, buy less.

  3. 1. Get organized: Got a nice box for my pocket squares and down-sized the inventory of my closet.
    2. Inspire: Be it at work, at home or wherever, so far I've inspired a couple of friends to up their style and fitness game.

  4. Resolution stop buying dress shirts. My wife bought me a sewing machine for Christmas. By the end of the year, I want to be able to make my own shirts. So far, I've picked up a few books, found some youtube videos and asked some friends for help. It will happen. Believe.

  5. 1) Wear less sneakers and more shoes.
    2) Stop thinking about where I might "end up" today when dressing. Dress for myself instead of who I might encounter.
    3) Polish my own shoes early and often.
    4) Grow my stable of accessories.

  7. Start developing more of my business wardrobe for interviews, internships and more- as a sophomore, I don't feel like I have enough to wear for these things that fit me well and that I like. Also, stop buying so many plaid shirts...

    Get the legs of several pairs of trousers tapered down to 8" leg openings.

    Buy a pair of Barker Black Wolfe models.

  10. 1. Wear heels more at work. I'm 5'10 and use that as my excuse to wear riding boots all winter long, but I have a great heel collection that needs to get shown off.
    2. Step up my accessories game. Actually trot out my jewelry, scarves, maybe a jaunty hat? Eh, skip the hat.

  11. 1. Perfect the Argentine Tango.
    2. Obtain the perfect tuxedo to wear while doing the Argentine Tango.
    3. Purchase a pair of double monks.
    4. Bring back my scarf collection, and get some spread collar shirts to go with my steezy tie collection.
