The new year brings an opportunity for new beginnings and new inspiration.  For many of us, it’s a time to review the passing year, evaluate our goals, and organize our calendars.  This time of year is also a good time to take stock of your closet, looking for any gaps, and filling them in.

Review Your Wardrobe

Looking, at your closet, evaluate which items you wear the most. Consider both the pieces you wear to work, and the pieces that you wear to relax.  Remove items that are out-of-style, that don’t fit, or that are too shabby to pass off as chic.  These pieces can be donated if they’re still wearable and in good condition, recycled into other things (cleaning rags, etc.) to give them new life, or tossed.

Cleaning out the old is a great way to give your current favorites room to breathe, as well as making it easier to find things in the morning when you’re still half asleep and digging through the closet for something presentable.

Evaluate Your Cufflink Collection

Once you have a good idea of what’s in your closet, take stock of the different accessories that you currently have to see if there are any gaps.  Consider belts, money clips, tie clips, and of course, cuff links.  While many men are perfectly happy wearing the same pair of cufflinks day-after-day, you are not that man.  You know that a well-dressed man has cufflinks that fit into the different occasions that he may find himself in.

So, examining your jewelry and accessories, do you have cufflinks that work well with and accentuate your style for each outfit you own and for the occasions that you frequently find yourself in?  If not, now is the perfect time to spruce things up.  (Note, this is also the perfect time to get any broken pieces repaired, or to replace them with something new.)  Check out our collection of New Year’s inspired cuff links here.

Get Organized for the New Year

Now that you have evaluated the cufflinks, tie clips, etc. that you own, it’s time to consider the care and keeping of these items.  You can certainly toss them into a draw, but then you run the risk of finding them damaged when you need them.  Similarly you could toss them into a shoebox.  Or you could keep in the box they came in.  Of course, then you’ve have to open each box to decide it the pair is the one you want.

An easier solution is to invest in a quality cufflinks box that will showcase your cufflinks, and (depending on your choice of box) allow you to safely contain all your other accessories.  The ideal box will let you see all your cufflinks at a glance, making it easy and fast to get ready.  We have lots for you to choose from here.

Go Be Awesome!

That’s it!  You’re ready to head out into whatever life throws at you, knowing that you’re stylishly dressed and ready to impress.  If you discover holes in your wardrobe, and you need help deciding on a new pair of cufflinks, or a classy tie clip, or a beautifully crafted cufflink box, our wonderful holiday elves (a.k.a. support team) would love to talk to you!  Give us a call and we will help you make the perfect choice.
