I recently completed a style guide and board with an emphasis on how to build a comfortable and stylish wardrobe for Jacklin. Jacklin recently accepted a new position and wanted to polish up her style. She will be working remotely and wanted business casual outfits that were comfortable and stylish. The first step in building Jacklin’s wardrobe was to determine her body shape.
Understanding How to Dress for your Body Shape is Key
Working as a fitting room stylist, I find that many women do not know their body shape or dress for your shape. Understanding your body shape is the key to building a stylish and comfortable wardrobe and should be the first step in a style consultation. Once you understand why body shape matters and know your shape, dressing and shopping become easier. I work with customers to help them understand the best styles for their shape.

How to Build a Comfortable & Stylish Wardrobe
The style board was designed to highlight the best styles for Jacklin’s shape; pants, tops, dresses/skirts, and jackets/sweaters. Jacklin received a Style Guide and shoppable board as part of her FREE style session!
Hire a Personal Stylist to do Your Shopping
Is your closet stuffed full of clothes that you aren’t wearing? The personal style business has ballooned, and many good choices are available for in-store and virtual styling services. When hiring a Personal Stylist, keep in mind that the styling services offered by large department stores like Nordstrom may be free, but the salespeople work off commission. This stuff isn’t rocket science, and you shouldn’t need to pay an arm and a leg for it!
Each style session is unique to the needs of each woman. In this style session, the focus was on how to create a comfortable and stylish wardrobe.
