In Person Styling
In-person styling is a hands-on approach to fashion styling where a stylist works directly with clients to curate outfits, enhance personal style, and build wardrobes tailored to individual needs and occasions. Unlike virtual styling, this method allows for real-time interaction, fittings, and immediate feedback, ensuring a more personalized and tactile experience.
Editing
Assessing your wardrobe to identify what fits well, what can be tailored for better use, and what should be consigned or donated—ensuring your closet only contains pieces that flatter your style, body, and lifestyle.
Creating New Outfit Combinations
Creating new outfit combinations and developing “go-to” formulas is a key element of personal styling that helps clients maximize their wardrobe and simplify daily dressing. This process involves mixing and matching existing pieces in fresh ways while identifying versatile outfit structures—such as “blazer + tee + jeans” or “dress + belt + boots”—that consistently work.
Styling Challenging items
Styling challenging items, those unique or trendy pieces that often sit unworn in your wardrobe requires creativity and strategy. Whether it’s a bold print, an unusual silhouette, or a statement piece, the key is to balance it with more neutral, familiar items and experiment with layering, accessories, or proportion play.
Identifying the Gaps in your Wardrobe
Identifying gaps in your wardrobe involves evaluating your current clothing to uncover what’s missing for a complete, functional style. A fashion stylist helps pinpoint essential items—like basics, layering pieces, or occasion-specific outfits—that would enhance your daily dressing and maximize what you already own. This step ensures your wardrobe is balanced, versatile, and aligned with your lifestyle and style goals.
Creating a Shopping List
This is a strategic step that ensures your purchases are purposeful and aligned with your wardrobe needs. Based on identified gaps, style goals, and lifestyle, a stylist helps you curate a targeted list of items to buy; prioritizing quality, versatility, and cohesion. This focused approach prevents impulse buys and helps build a wardrobe that truly works for you.
Shopping List Items
Shopping list items are the specific clothing and accessory pieces selected to fill gaps in your wardrobe and enhance your personal style. Curated with intention, these items are chosen based on fit, function, and versatility—ranging from everyday basics to statement pieces. A stylist ensures each item on the list supports your overall look, making future outfit planning easier and more cohesive.
Purchase Tracking
Purchase involves monitoring what you buy, how often you wear it, and how it fits into your wardrobe. By keeping track of your purchases, you gain insight into your shopping habits, avoid duplicates, and ensure you’re investing in pieces that truly serve your style and lifestyle. Purchase tracking and returning is entirely managed for you.
Restyling
Restyling is the follow-up styling process where newly purchased items are integrated into your existing wardrobe. During this session, Styling J helps you create fresh outfit combinations, ensuring your new pieces work seamlessly with what you already own. It maximizes the value of your purchases and brings new life to your overall style.
