"As a personal stylist, my clients represent a range of incomes, ages, and phases of life. I help everyone from twentysomethings trying to appear more professional in the office to older clients needing a packing list for their next luxurious vacation. Their budgets range and so do their closets - I've been in cluttered dumpster fires and ones so minimal they're almost sterile."
"My wealthier clients approach shopping much like investing: strategically. Because of this, they'll usually skip fast fashion in favor of high-quality pieces made from luxe fabrics that are designed to last years, even decades. If you have to keep replacing something, you'll end up spending more money in the long run. Oftentimes, a well-made staple's higher price can amortize to pennies per wear."
Wealthier clients shop intentionally, purchasing items needed for the immediate or next few months rather than accumulating extras. They prioritize quality and value, avoiding fast-fashion because durable fabrics and construction extend lifespan and lower cost per wear. They treat clothing like investments, choosing staples that can last years and amortize into pennies per wear. Impulse buys and sale-chasing are uncommon; purchases are planned around upcoming seasons, trips, and realistic wardrobe gaps. Their basics are not exclusively designer; functionality and longevity guide choices. Closet conditions vary widely, from cluttered collections to extremely minimal, depending on individual style and lifestyle.
