How do You Know You Need Help with Styling?

First impressions matter — they subconsciously form within 5-7 seconds of meeting someone. The way we present ourselves speaks volumes before we even say a word. Yet, many of us overlook the power of our personal style, dismissing it as frivolous, expensive or too time-consuming to worry about. But here’s the truth: your style directly reflects your confidence, personality, and goals. So, how do you know if it’s time to seek help from an image consultant?

Feeling overwhelmed by your closet:

If you constantly think “I have nothing to wear,” despite a closet full of clothes, it’s a sign your wardrobe isn’t working for you. An external and keen eye in can help declutter, curate, and organize, ensuring every piece has a purpose and fits your goals.

You are struggling to dress for your body goals:

Angles, material, cut, fit  —  decisions are all made easier when bringing in an outside perspective who has your style goals in mind and can curate a lookbook of suggested items that will flatter your body and keep your style goals top of mind. An image consultant can help you understand what works for your body type and how to align your wardrobe with your aspirations.

You’re staying in too much:

Signs of avoiding social events, looking solely for remote work opportunities or even ordering in all of your groceries and home goods can be a tell-tale sign of lack of confidence in your image. An image consultant can find you feel-good outfits for all types of occasions, including a quick and comfy outfit to run to the store in.

You feel ready:

The right time to spark a change usually is when you do not feel ready. In some cases, clients are so overtired of the same issues with their closet, that they simply know it’s time to call in help. Life transitions — a new job, a milestone birthday, or a fresh start — call for a change. An image consultant can guide you in embracing your evolution and building a wardrobe that reflects the person you’re becoming.

Seeking support with your personal style is not about trends or materialism, it is about empowerment and authenticity. If any of these signs resonate with you, consider investing in an image consultant or coach who can help you look and feel your absolute best.
