The New Year deserves a new you. Now’s the perfect time to do a Gok Wan on your wardrobe; to finally peel off those skinny black jeans that have been bonded to your legs with cider since 2003; to bin the mascara (girls and boys); to donate the pointy shoes to a tramp and leave anything neon (so 2007) in a bundle outside the Sue Ryder shop. Instead, this season you should mostly be wearing...

Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend Lyrics

Vampire Weekend - Mansard Roof Lyrics

I see a mansard roof through the trees
I see a salty message written in the eaves
The ground beneath my feet, the hot garbage and concrete
And now the tops of buildings, I can see them, too

More Vampire Weekend - Mansard Roof Lyrics

Vampire Weekend - Walcott Lyrics

Walcott, don't you know that it's insane?
Don't you wanna get out of Cape Cod?
Out of Cape Cod tonight?

More Vampire Weekend - Walcott Lyrics

Vampire Weekend - I Stand Corrected Lyrics

You've been checking on my facts
And I admit I have been lax
In double screening what I say
It wasn't funny anyway

More Vampire Weekend - I Stand Corrected Lyrics

Vampire Weekend - One (Blake's Got A New Face) Lyrics

Occident out on the weekend
That's the way that we relax
English breakfast tastes like Darjeeling
But she's too cute to even ask

More Vampire Weekend - One (Blake's Got A New Face) Lyrics

Vampire Weekend - Bryn Lyrics

Ion displacement won't work in the basement
Especially, when I'm not with you
Here in the heartland, a feeling so startling
I don't what I should do

More Vampire Weekend - Bryn Lyrics

Vampire Weekend - Campus Lyrics

I wake up, my shoulder's cold, I've got to leave you
Before I go, I pull my shirt on, walk out the door
Drag my feet along the floor
I pull my shirt on, walk out the door

More Vampire Weekend - Campus Lyrics

Vampire Weekend - M79 Lyrics

It's gonna take a little time
While you're waiting like a factory line
I'll ride across the park
Backseat on the 79

More Vampire Weekend - M79 Lyrics

Vampire Weekend - Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa Lyrics

As a young girl, Louis Vuitton
With your mother on a sandy lawn
As a sophomore with reggaeton
And the linens, you're sitting on

More Vampire Weekend - Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa Lyrics

Vampire Weekend - A-Punk Lyrics

Johanna drove slowly into the city
The Hudson River all filled with snow
She spied the ring on His Honor's finger, oh oh oh

More Vampire Weekend - A-Punk Lyrics

Vampire Weekend - Oxford Comma Lyrics

Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?
I've seen those English dramas, too, they're cruel
So if there's any other way to spell the word
It's fine with me, with me

More Vampire Weekend - Oxford Comma Lyrics

Vampire Weekend - The Kids Don't Stand A Chance Lyrics

A devastatin' backstroke
All the way from France
With shiny, shiny cuff links
A shirtsleeve to enhance
