Jul 28, 2024
From guest blogger Lisa Shaw of Lifestyled By Lisa
When you think of a wardrobe stylist, you might imagine someone who picks out outfits for celebrities or models. While that can be part of the job, a wardrobe stylist’s role extends far beyond just selecting clothes. A great wardrobe stylist doesn’t only help their clients feel confident and put-together in every aspect of their lives, but hopefully creates an experience where they are forming a great relationship and collaboration. That’s where I come in. Creating a personal style is important to boost your confidence, save time while you’re getting dressed in the morning and invest in yourself. Here are five tips to help you find your own personal style.
-
Audit your closet
Take an hour on a rainy day to go through your wardrobe. Identify items you love, items you never wear, and items that don’t fit your lifestyle anymore. This will give you a clearer picture of what you have, what you enjoy wearing and what you might need.
-
Identify style inspirations
Think about your favorite celebrities or influencers whose style you admire. Look up images of their outfits on blogs, social media or other sources. Make a list or save images of the looks you like. This will help you understand your personal style and goals.
-
Experiment with accessories
Accessories can transform an outfit and help you express your personal style. Try adding different accessories like scarves, belts, hats or jewellery to your outfits. Pay attention to how they change the overall look and feel. Over time, you’ll discover which accessories resonate most with your style.
-
Create a capsule wardrobe
A capsule wardrobe consists of a few essential items of clothing that don't go out of fashion and can be augmented with seasonal pieces. Focus on versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched to create different looks. This not only simplifies getting dressed but also helps you understand the core elements of your personal style.
-
Book a consultation with a wardrobe stylist
A wardrobe stylist works with you to understand your personal style, lifestyle and needs. This means creating looks that are not only stylish but also practical for your everyday life. Imagine outfits that make you feel amazing whether you're heading to the office, running errands or going out for a night on the town. We know time is a precious commodity. A wardrobe stylist can help streamline your wardrobe, ensuring you have pieces that mix and match effortlessly. No more standing in front of the closet wondering what to wear or going on a work trip or vacation and stressing out about packing! Plus, with the road map we create I set you up for success by helping you with multiple options for all the different facets of your life.
At Lifestyled by Lisa, I believe that wardrobe styling isn’t just about what you wear—it’s about feeling prepared, in control and confident through style. It’s also about creating an environment where you can thrive. And with more than 25 years of experience in the luxury fashion industry, I leverage that career to provide a holistic approach to styling.
This means how you approach maintaining your home, helping you develop a self-care routine, and offering guidance on balancing various aspects of your life. I meet you where you are and tailor my services to your unique situation.
Hiring a wardrobe stylist might seem like a luxury, but it’s an investment in yourself. Someone who has fitness goals might choose a trainer, someone looking to level up in their career may invest in a coach!
That’s exactly what I do… By helping you feel more educated, providing you with tools to create looks on your own and guiding you towards product that works for you, you intern feel more energized, organized, less stressed and certain. A stylist can make your daily life more manageable and enjoyable. When you look good, you feel good—and that positive energy is contagious!
