With January bringing promises of change for many, updating the shirts in your wardrobe could be one way to signal a fresh start - particularly while the January sales are around.
A new survey conducted by the Daily Telegraph found that 95 per cent of people in the UK alone have set themselves a resolution for 2012.
But while losing weight and getting fit are the top two options among those surveyed, few seem to have gone for the simpler option of a quick wardrobe update to reinvigorate mind, body and soul.
After all, purchasing quality shirts could be the perfect ticket to motivating you to lose weight and get in shape as part of a new look and a new you for 2012.
Julia Armstrong is a leading performance coach and strong advocate of setting positive New Year's resolutions to help maintain motivation.
She believes that the key to a successful resolution is "thinking about what will excite you, what touches your heart and is a truthful desire".
So if a new look and fresh start is what you are looking for in 2012, updating your shirts collection could provide the perfect catalyst for change.
It also remains in line with Ms Armstrong's belief that positive reinforcement is key to success.
As she explains: "It is important to treat yourself as your own best friend and to be encouraging rather than harsh."
With many eager to save money on clothing purchases, January could prove an ideal time too, thanks to the sale prices on offer at the moment.
Eton Shirts for instance, are offering savings of up to 30 per cent on some contemporary designs that are ideal for the modern man starting 2012.
Those seeking colour alongside a smart casual look should consider the blue, red and white check single cuff shirt.
Providing a contemporary fit with a cutaway collar, it offers timelessly cool look and is suitable for nearly any occasion.
The bolder male may be drawn to the striking pink herringbone single cuff design that is similar in contemporary fit and cutaway collar design.
Then again, the classic royal blue Bengal stripe single cuff shirt may be a more attractive option, thanks in part to its extreme cutaway collar design.
With shirts priced at £79.99, down from £120.00, there has never been a better, or cheaper time to create a New Year's resolution.
