In contrast to most resolutions — train extra, drink much less — style resolutions want to vary yearly.
We would like various things from our garments relying on the place we’re in our lives. Yearly that passes, sorry to say, all of us must take an age-appropriate test.
What was minimal and flattering turns into laborious and plain; what was fairly turns into blowsy — however, by the identical token, what regarded a bit boring two years in the past can now look elegant. (I’ve simply resurrected a pinstripe jacket that put years on me pre-lockdown and now one way or the other takes them off.)
You can not predict these items, you possibly can solely be taught from what has labored within the earlier 12 months and maintain an open thoughts. So that is what we’ve discovered in 2022, and what we’re trying ahead to in 2023…
