Reinvent yourself

How a personal stylist can help you optimise your wardrobe

Making the perfect first impression is really important. Whether it’s for that job interview, a networking event or even a weekend brunch, how you present is critical and this has a lot to do with what you wear.

I am a strong believer in what Mark Twain said, “Clothes make the man” (or woman)! I can confidently say that everyone reading this has faced a style dilemma more than a couple of times in the past three months. I repeatedly hear: “I have a wardrobe full of clothes, but nothing appropriate to wear”; or “I have way too many boring clothes” or “I really need more ideas on what to wear with this top/pant/dress.” Getting stuck in a style rut is common and may feel depressing, but there is a super easy solution to this – engaging a personal stylist.

A personal styling experience will give you great insight into how fashionable outfits can be created by working with clothes and accessories you already own. Getting an expert to go through your clothes can be extremely helpful in deciding what works for your personality and lifestyle. You will be surprised to see the different combinations a stylist can put together for you, some of which you probably never thought of wearing, yet together they look fabulous on you.

In a typical wardrobe consultation session, a personal stylist can also help you de-clutter by suggesting some of the clothes that you could possibly donate or give away and help identify the gaps. At the end of the session, you can also get a personalised digital look-book of outfit combinations for easy reference. You will finish the session feeling satisfied and confident, armed with the perfect outfit for every occasion – work, weekend or parties.

STYLE SESSION WITH DIMPLE

I recently completed a wardrobe consultation with Dimple. She already has a great sense of style and some interesting and trendy pieces in her wardrobe.

In our two and a half hour session, I put together work, weekend and party outfits for Dimple from what she already had in her wardrobe. The outfits look fabulous on her because they are personalised based on her lifestyle, personality and individual style goals.
