Hello, 2025: How to Approach your personal style this year

As the New Year unfolds, so does the opportunity to redefine and refine your personal style. In the spirit of self-expression and creating ‘newness’, you may find yourself looking to simplify your wardrobe, experiment with untouched trends or achieve a sophisticated capsule collection.

Whatever your style goals may be for 2025, here are five ways that working with a stylist will help you achieve them:

1. Leverage Style Expertise

   • Wardrobe stylists have a keen understanding of fashion trends, color coordination, and body types. With this expertise, they can help you refine your current wardrobe and discover pieces or styles that you may have overlooked in the past. Stylists have the ability to see the whole picture — helping you edit your current wardrobe, style existing pieces in new ways, and thoughtfully guide you toward future investments.

2. Accentuate Your Personal Brand

   • Whether you’ve thought about it or not, you have a personal brand. That’s right! Your brand may be a reflection of your career, your favorite hobbies, your daily life — or all of the above. A stylist can help you refine your style to ensure that your clothing choices align with who you are, where you’re headed, and the goals you’re set to achieve.

3. Organize Your Wardrobe

   • In addition to helping you see your closet through a new lens, a stylist can help organize your wardrobe, suggesting which pieces to keep, alter or donate. This makes your closet more functional and helps you better utilize your existing clothing. Clients frequently choose to work with a stylist on a seasonal basis to better understand which pieces they can carry into the next season and where their wardrobe may have gaps.

4. Purchase with Intention

   • If you’re guilty of purchasing items on the fly and without fully considering how they’ll add value to you wardrobe — you aren’t alone! Partnering with a stylist to assess your existing wardrobe and determine gaps will give you a roadmap (literally, a personalized lookbook!) with which to align future purchases. Not only will you save time and money, but you’ll begin shaping a collection of pieces that are easy to pair and complementary to your personal style.

5. Curate the Perfect Outfit for the Most Special Occasions

   • Hiring a stylist for special events, such as weddings, parties or photoshoots, ensures that you look your best and that your outfit aligns with the occasion. A stylist will take time to locate unique pieces that you won’t see just anywhere (A win, win!). If you’re preparing for a one-of-a-kind occasion, you may even wish you create a custom piece — and a stylist will provide the support needed to achieve this in a timely and cost-effective manner.
