5 secrets that personal stylists keep to themselves

The job of a personal stylist is not for everyone and anyone. It requires special skill and a knack for things that can hardly be taught. But even stylists have their tricks and secrets. These secrets are what we are after!

They love clothes

Let’s face it, the life of a personal stylist can be hard. ‘Yes, ma’am’ and ‘No, Sir’ are some of their most used phrases. The only thing that keeps them going is their love for clothes and all things stylish and sartorial!

Their personal style is very different

Just because the personal stylist will tell you to spend on a brand does not necessarily mean that they would buy that piece for themselves. A personal stylist will not ask you to wear something that they would have liked to wear but can’t and are therefore asking their customers to buy it. They only ask you to buy what they know will flatter you!

They appreciate a referral or two

Custom tailoring and the whole industry has taken a big hit from the retail wave and even the online shopping boom. Obviously, because of the old world sophistication, they won’t be too vocal about it, but yes, their chips have fallen. So, it would be really nice if you refer your posh friends to them.

They know the cheapest places to get things

Be it custom tailoring or an understated craftsman, stylists know the exact places where you can get quality goods for half the price. I mean, how do you think they afford the latest fashion? But taking you there is out of the question because that will only take away from their commission.

They love their jobs

There are way too many perks for personal stylists to not love their jobs and they genuinely do! They enjoy shopping for people and following the latest fashion trends. I mean what is wrong with a job where you have to advise people how to up keep their lifestyle! Am I right or am I right!
