New Yorks Best Personal Shoppers And Stylists At Your Service

New York is full of professionals who can help you overhaul your look, shop for a special event or get organized with an all-important closet cleanse. Below, find guidance on what to expect from personal shoppers and stylists plus recommendations on the best wardrobe styling services available in New York.

Personal shoppers and stylists aren’t just for celebrities. Whether you hire someone to help you clean out your closet or choose your next look, remember that this process should be fun, not stressful. Here’s what you need to know before you hire a professional to help with your wardrobe.

While department-store personal shoppers will help you find looks and offer anecdotal style advice (which is free for you, although they usually make a commission on the clothing they sell you), professional, dedicated stylists want to get to know you and learn what your comfort levels are – not just in fashion but in life. After all, your wardrobe should reflect your lifestyle.

Stylists view their work as a collaboration with each client and will help you achieve a certain style goal. They will work with your existing wardrobe while also suggesting ways for you to purge stuff you don’t wear and how to acquire investment pieces. Any New York stylist worth her Louboutins has professional relationships with designers, labels, department stores and boutiques in the city, so before you retain services, be sure to ask what relationships your stylist has. Based on these relationships, a stylist will be able to put you in touch with friends-and-family discounts, secret sales and trunk shows, so don’t be shy about asking.
