NO MAKEOVERS PLEASE
When you work with The Secret Stylist it’s a steady, smooth style journey to guide you into a new chapter of looking and feeling much better. My aim is to educate you to style and shop your best self! My most confident clients have been working alongside me for years! They learn all the time. This week I want to offer my winning style educations that you can take on this week.
THREE COLOURS
The additional third colour adds interest to an outfit - and a less contrived look. This can be as subtle as a belt, earrings or handbag.
STYLE IN FIVE
When you curate your daily outfit make sure you wear 5 key pieces. Do your style maths. Those extra pieces are crucial to owning a creative style.
ROLL UP TUCK IN
Wrists and ankles need to be seen - roll up tapered trousers, boyfriend jeans for a flattering finish and gather up those sleeves on shirts and blazers for a laid back stylish look.
COLOUR ON COLOUR
NEW colourful top? ensure you style it with a fabulous colourful bottom half (rather than black) Booking a Colour Consultation is the best way of understanding your BEST colours for your skin tone and personality.
SOMETHING OLD SOMETHING NEW
The best outfits are created by a mix of something old and something new. A great new dress with an old blazer and vintage handbag. A new dress styled with grandma’s belt or brooche will evoke some history and a story to your style.
MATCH BELTS & SHOES
The style of belt and shoe can totally switch up an outfit. To fine tune your look make sure your belt and your shoes are the same texture or colour to pull your look together.
CONNECT WITH YOUR WARDROBE
A good edit in your wardrobe with give you clarity with your clothes. You’ll feel more in touch with what you can wear and focus less on buying new.
COAT COHESION
In our ever changing climate coats are key to completing your outfit. Always ask yourself - what coat am I wearing with this? Start to curate a collection of coats to compliment your outfits
PRE STYLE YOUR OUTFITS
Each week pre style your outfits to generate organisation and creativity in your wardrobe - this will save time in the mornings and save money shopping!

SOCK CO-ORDINATION
After you’ve styled your key outfits for a season ensure your socks co-ordinate with your outfit. I love sparkly socks and ensure I have socks to suit the colours of the outfits I’m going to wear. Avoid white or black socks and spend time curating a sock collection to suit your style.
