HOW DO I GET MORE OUT OF MY CLOTHES?

When we buy clothing we envision all the different ways we’ll be able to wear our new items, imagining that these will be the pieces to diversify our style. In reality however, we usually end up pairing things in the same few outfit combinations. As human beings, we’re creatures of habit. Once we have a pattern in place, it’s hard for us to break it. That new jacket looked so cute when we wore it with our skinny jeans, but now it’s hard to see how it also works with our skirts and other pants. We style outfits in the same handful of ways and complain that we don’t have anything to wear, even when we have a closet filled with options. As Personal Stylists, we believe that a strong wardrobe doesn’t always require additional shopping, but often just the ability to take what already exists and style it in new ways.

HOW OUR DIGITAL LOOK BOOKS WORK

A look book is a digital catalogue of everything you own, filled with pre-planned outfit ideas using what’s in your closet. Before we can begin the development stage, we’ll start by getting to know you on a deeper level. Our in-take process is designed to uncover your preferences and build a framework for your image going forward. We’ll look through your closet with you in order to assess everything you own, and understand what you’re wearing in your personal and professional life. As is the key to all of our services, getting to know you and your lifestyle as intimately as possible, allows us to become your partner in personal style.

We’ll photograph outfit combinations using every piece in your closet, showing you different ways to dress up or down your items. One of the purposes of your look book is to maximize the versatility of your wardrobe, so we’ll always be sure to show you how clothing can be used in multiple ways. In order to complete your looks, we’ll also include shoes, handbags and any other accessories you may own. This is often beneficial for men looking to understand the pairings of suits, dress shirts, and tie combinations or women who need assistance with jewelry.

We’ll use the photographs to create a comprehensive digital look book divided into different lifestyle categories (professional, casual, formal, date night etc). To ensure your outfits are always perfectly polished, we’ll include styling notes such as when to tuck in a shirt, what type of undergarments might be needed,  and any other tips that may be useful.

A digital look book is a fantastic tool for alleviating the stress of getting dressed, and means one less decision you have to make in the morning. With your guide in hand, you’ll simply select an outfit and find the corresponding pieces in your closet. It’s that simple. Putting great outfits together, using the clothing that’s already hanging in your closet, has never been easier!
