The Upgrade

Lexus IS & Sharp

You’ve worked hard to get where you are. You’ve hustled. Put in the hours. But there comes a point in life when you realize you deserve a reward for everything you’ve accomplished. To choose that upgrade. Whether it’s a small luxury (opting for a latte over your regular drip coffee) or an indulgent splurge (booking a suite for your next weekend getaway), it’s important to treat yourself. Because part of living your best life starts with living better.

The good news is, it’s easier to do than you’d think. Inspired by the Lexus IS, we’ve come up with a few lifestyle upgrades — the little things you can do to make your daily routine a whole lot more luxurious. With a stylish design, expert performance, and all the superior craftsmanship you’ve come to expect from Lexus, plus a road-hugging ride that invites you to take control, the Lexus IS is a true luxury experience in car form. So go ahead and opt for an upgrade. You’ve earned it.

Upgrade Your Work Wardrobe:

Go to the Tailor

You know those pants you love, but the hem is just an inch too long? That blazer that could stand to be slightly slimmer cut? Everyone’s got items in their closet that don’t fit quite as well as they should. That’s where finding a good tailor comes in. Looking sharp doesn’t necessarily mean you have to go out and splurge for a brand-new custom suit. You can still buy off the rack, but a trip to the tailor — and a few quick and easy alterations later — and that tired work wardrobe will look brand new.

Upgrade Your Workout Regimen:

Hire a Trainer

In a perfect world, we’d all be able to look like action heroes from just a few regular gym sessions, but if you’re working out five days a week and still look like Chris Pratt circa Parks and Rec instead of Chris Pratt circa Guardians of the Galaxy, it’s time to enlist some professional help. Booking time with a trainer can keep your fitness goals from stalling out, so you get more from each session, optimizing your workout. After all, how do you think all those Marvel heroes do it?

Upgrade Your Self-Care Routine:

Get a Straight Razor Shave

This isn’t about the actual shave so much as the idea of carving out time for a monthly self-care ritual: it takes something you do every day, probably without even thinking, and transforms it into a luxurious indulgence. Even if you can’t stand meditating, there’s something meditative about leaning back and letting someone else take good care of you.

Upgrade Your Ride:

The Lexus IS

If your daily driver no longer rouses you and you find yourself with a wandering eye whenever you’re stuck in traffic, a new car’s a great way to give your day-to-day routine a much-needed refresh. Stylish, sporty, and luxurious, the Lexus IS really is the finest entry-level option on the market. In other words, it’s a serious upgrade.
