As a personal stylist, my job starts with getting to know my client and there are a set of steps and questions I always follow (which subscribers can answer in our Style Profile) to help them create the perfect outfit everyday.
Here are 5 tips to help you create the perfect outfit just like a stylist everyday!
1. Think about what you like
2. What’s missing in your closet?
3. Consider future engagements and what events you need to dress for
Do you have cocktails to attend every Thursday or work in an office with a strict dress code? You need your outfit to work for your everyday life, which is why I always ask clients in what type of settings they plan to wear their tights and need to get dressed for.
4. Think about what you want your wardrobe to say about you
Your clothes are a vehicle to communicate who you are to the world, so get to know yourself and figure out what that message is. After all, they key to pulling off any outfit is to wear it with confidence.
5. Don’t be afraid to look for inspiration
To create the perfect outfit, get inspired by old icons or fashion blogger looks you love. For outfit ideas you can always visit our blog or follow us on Instagram.
