Married Filing Separately. Itemized deductions vs. standard deductions?

Hi, My spouse and I file our tax returns separately (Married Filing Separately) this year and claimed itemized deductions.  Is it okay for us to file tax returns separately next year and claim standard deductions?  Is it better for us to claim itemized deductions or standard deductions when we file our tax returns separately?  Thanks.
