Our team is looking at the new year with a fresh set of eyes, especially as we take inventory of our closets. For 2014, we're drawing up a new dress code — and each of the editors has his or her own new rules.

Whether you're looking for a sleeker, more sophisticated edge, the bold accessories to make you a standout, or even if you're itching to ditch your high heels, our editors' resolutions may just inspire you to make some of your own. See and shop them all here.

"My resolution is to wear flats with confidence in the New Year! Pointy toe is the shape of choice, and I resolve to leave my heels at home and wear my sleek flats with cocktail dresses à la Alexa Chung."

— Melissa Liebling-Goldberg, fashion and beauty director

"I just want to dress like Isabel Marant — that perfect blend of luxe-louche Parisian. All day, every day."

— Leah Melby, associate editor

"Though florals for Spring aren't entirely groundbreaking, they are for this girl! In 2014, I will embrace my inner garden girl by incorporating both moody and bright blossoms but always with my signature edgy-glam twist."

"Next year, I'm resolving to shed my preppy persona for a more metropolitan attitude. I'm saying goodbye to rugby shirts and hello to cargo pants and leather jackets!"

— Robert Khederian, editorial assistant

"I've become a serious bag lady, and my back is paying for it. In the name of health, I resolve to ditch the massive totes in favor of quite-literal handbags."

— Kate Schweitzer, editor

"A little goes a long way — especially when it comes to fashion! For 2014, I'm taking Balenciaga's less-is-more approach and focusing on interesting shapes and striking hues."

"In 2014, I'm going to start wearing a blazer and tucking in my shirt — even on days when I don't have anyone to impress. But I'm going to keep in mind that suiting up doesn't always have to be serious, and there's no menswear designer who demonstrates that better than Michael Bastian."

— Justin Fenner, associate editor

"My style resolution is to break out of my pants rut. I tend toward a laid-back style, and dresses usually feel too girlie to me; also, I am always cold, so pants have become my style crutch. For 2014, I'm pushing myself to ditch the dungarees every once in a while and find creative ways to make skirts and dresses more me! "

— Aemilia Madden, editorial assistant

"This year, I'm going to have fun with fashion again. I'm taking a page out of Olivia Palermo's play book and treating every occasion as a reason to dress up. No, that doesn't mean being overly dressed; but it definitely means throwing on a killer pair of heels, even when I'm wearing just jeans and a button-down and taking every opportunity to add a bold necklace or bright color."

— Hannah Weil, associate editor
