6 Benefits of Hiring a Men’s Personal Stylist

“I have nothing to wear.”

“I want to improve my style but have no idea where to start.”

“My girlfriend hates my clothes.”

If these thoughts sound familiar to you, you’re not alone.

We’ve all been there - standing in the closet and assessing your wardrobe through critical eyes. Suddenly, your decade-old worn-in shirts look like items found in the garbage. Your favorite pair of jeans are suddenly too snug or too loose, making it look as though you got dressed in the dark. As a result, you wear the same few pieces of clothing and keep them on a constant rotation, much to your partner’s dismay. 

Despite popular belief, this is not an experience reserved only for women. Everyone, including men, wants to look and feel their best, especially in today’s age of social media, where the pressure to upgrade your appearance is overwhelming and may leave you at a loss of where to start. 

So, if you’re looking to appease your partner, impress a special someone, or simply boost your confidence, a personal stylist can help you tap into what makes you, you.

What is a personal stylist?

First, let’s establish what a fashion stylist does.

The role of a personal stylist is to help you develop your style and select pieces that are best suited for your unique body type, career, and lifestyle - kind of like a celebrity stylist (think red carpet), except more accessible (and affordable).

As a personal stylist myself, I know a common hangup is the fear that a personal stylist will dress you in a way that strays far from who you are, making you feel uncomfortable and self-conscious as a result. In reality, part of the job is taking the client’s personality into consideration and finding ways to subtly, yet impactfully enhance what you’re already doing with solutions tailored to you.

Reasons to Hire a Male Personal Stylist

1. To Save Time

It’s no secret that life gets busy. If you have a family or a demanding job, finding the time to research current trends or spend hours shopping is a challenging feat - even more so if fashion isn’t your thing.

A personal stylist will eliminate your stress by doing the heavy lifting on your behalf, selecting pieces for you, and creating a fully customized wardrobe. As a result, I’ll ensure you always look your best even when your busy schedule gets in the way.

2. To Save Money

Additionally, hiring a personal stylist for men will help you save money. That’s right - leave all notions of “personal stylists are for the rich and famous” at the door.

The money you spend on my services will save you money in the long run, as it eliminates any unnecessary spending in your panicked I-have-nothing-to-wear moments. I’ll use your money strategically by, for example, advising you on which staple pieces to invest in and which to find for more affordable prices. Plus, my choices are selected with you in mind. Each brand, style, color, and detail is handpicked to ensure every single piece is a home run, which means you’re more likely to find style success with the guidance of a men’s personal stylist.

3. To Discover What Suits You

No one is born knowing what colors, fabrics, and styles are most flattering on them. The truth is that it’s a process.

Personal stylists are trained to take out the guesswork. Since no two people are identical, I consider several factors when advising you, including body type, skin tone, taste, budget, and more.

For example, a muted shade might look great on your friend, yet that same color washes you out, making you look as though you haven’t seen the sun in months. That’s because elements like color, fabrics, and style can make or break your outfit. Hiring a personal stylist ensures you always wear clothes that best suit you.

4. To Diversify Your Wardrobe

Let’s face it - we’re creatures of habit. As a result, you may find yourself sticking to the same tried-and-true styles, especially if you don’t consider yourself very fashion-forward. The downside is that you will likely encounter situations where your cargo shorts and flannels are not exactly appropriate.

A personal stylist will help you create a versatile wardrobe stocked with pieces that can be used for multiple occasions. I will also educate you on what to wear for certain situations so you don’t show up to a black-tie event looking like you didn’t get the memo.

5. To Shop Stress-Free

Whether shopping online or in-store, the experience can be overwhelming for most men. Via Unsplash.

We’ve all gone to the mall expecting to walk out with an armful of shopping bags that held fashionable, flattering clothes. And then when we got there, nothing on the racks looked appealing, and so you leave empty-handed and disappointed.

Despite the universally shared dressing room nightmares, it is possible to have a seamless (and successful!) shopping experience with the help of a professional.

Since a personal stylist is trained to stay up to date on the latest trends, they will guide you through the process and hand-select pieces that are likely to match your vision while still respecting your personal taste. This stress-free method makes hiring a personal stylist a worthwhile investment.

6. To Match the Image You Want to Present

Speaking of making your visions a reality, a personal stylist’s objective is to do just that. Maybe you’ve seen some guys on social media wearing a certain look that caught your attention, and now you want to recreate it. Or maybe you just landed a new corporate job and need to look the part.

If you have a specific image you want to present, a personal stylist has you covered - literally. I help you master the first impression by dressing you in a way that matches the perception you want to put forward, whether that’s professional, trendy, classy, or anything in between.
