How to Work With a Stylist

Hiring a stylist is like bringing on a trusted editor for your wardrobe. The process clarifies what to wear, how to shop, and how to maintain momentum as life changes. Here is how we structure a project so you get maximum value from day one.

Discovery

We start with a focused conversation about your lifestyle, calendar, preferences, and constraints. A stylist listens for friction points: too many jeans, not enough smart layers, shoes that do not fit the commute. We also set a budget and timeline so recommendations are realistic and timely.

Visual alignment

Next, we build a shared moodboard. You react with yes, no, and maybe. This fast feedback helps your stylist map silhouettes, textures, and palettes that resonate. We translate those into a preliminary formula so future decisions become consistent.

Closet edit

We review what you own, keeping what fits the formula and releasing the rest. Items you love but rarely wear are tested in fresh combinations. This step is energizing; clients often rediscover pieces within minutes of a stylist showing a new pairing.

Shopping plan

You receive a concise list with links across price points. Each item includes notes on size, alterations, and how it slots into outfits. We prioritize gaps that unlock the most combinations—often shoes, trousers, and knitwear. Your stylist handles returns and alternates when available.

Lookbook and training

Once the key pieces arrive, we create a lookbook with 15–30 outfits, covering work, weekend, and events. You’ll see how to adapt for weather and formality. We teach you how to evaluate future purchases so your wardrobe stays on track after the project ends.

Maintenance

Seasonal check-ins keep momentum. We rotate accents, replace worn items, and update silhouettes with intent, not impulse. The result is a wardrobe that evolves with you while conserving clarity. That is the enduring value of working with a professional stylist.
