How to create the perfect wardrobe if you don't have money for a stylist

Suppose you are a student, or are just starting your career, or have radically changed your field of activity, deciding to start from scratch, and your salary is very small - up to 30-35 thousand rubles. At the same time, you are well aware of what you are greeted by clothes, and to look stylish is very important for you.

The average cost of a stylist's services in Moscow and St. Petersburg is 3,000 rubles per hour. The standard guided shopping process takes 4 hours, which means you will have to pay 12,000 rubles. Plus a budget for clothes. Even if you go shopping in the mass market, it is better if you have about 30,000 rubles for clothes to buy enough things and forget about it for the next few months, thereby justifying your expenses for a stylist.

Obviously, this option is not for everyone. Fortunately, progress does not stand still: more and more services appear that help to be stylish online. These are projects employing stylists who select suitable clothes for you from online stores based on your personal data.

Such services have several advantages over going to a store with a shopping consultant:

low price;
no need to communicate with the stylist personally;
no need to go anywhere and waste your time.

All that is required of you is to indicate your parameters in the questionnaire, attach a photo, choose your favorite colors and styles, and determine the budget for new clothes.

Obviously, such projects are the future, since shopping for the majority is a burden and an unpleasant waste of time, and almost everyone is aware of the need to dress well now. I want to tell you about these pioneer services.

Services for remote selection of clothes

Fashionable Upgrade - the most budgetary

For just 800 rubles, the service offers you a fashionable look and send it directly to your home. You agree on the budget for clothes, the task and your preferences in advance. Having tried things on, you can buy them back or return what did not fit for free. Also, for 800 rubles, the service offers to choose two sets for any of your things, if you do not know what to combine with. Another interesting service is the ability to send a photo to the stylist directly from the fitting room and get advice. Advice, however, is not cheap - 500 rubles for one photo or 2,500 rubles for an unlimited number of requests per month.

The Be. Style capsule wardrobe service offers not just the services of a remote stylist, but a new look at the wardrobe problem.

This will give you about 30 ready-made combinations for each day of the month. Be. Style also has a service "Help in the fitting room" - for 500 rubles you can ask the stylist 10 questions: to buy or not to buy a particular thing, with what to combine it.

Sofits.me - stylish coaching

The project also offers the “Mobile shopping” service, but already at the price of offline stylist services: for 9,900 rubles, the service will pick up up to 30 items for you and send them home for fitting. But the project is interesting, in my opinion, to others. For 6,900 rubles a month you will receive the Gradual Wardrobe service: every week the stylist will select 3-5 looks from your clothes and recommend what else you can buy to complement your wardrobe. In addition, in each letter you will receive information on your style: about your styles, fabrics, colors, prints, makeup techniques and combinations of things. As a result, you will have not only correctly selected kits, but also invaluable knowledge.

It is knowledge - about style, about the features of your figure and palette, about color combinations - that is what I advise you to acquire first of all in conditions of a small budget. If you want to look stylish without spending a lot of money, invest in yourself. Become your own stylist.

A few more tips

Subscribe to the free Epytom stylist bot, which sends daily examples of bows based on the survey data and the weather in your city.
Pay attention to the mannequins in the shops. Even if you dress in the mass market, merchandisers of any brand keep a close eye on the latest fashion trends. They dress up mannequins and place clothes on hangers to give you an idea for a fashionable look.
And the main advice! Buy less, but better. Do not strive to have as many things as possible for the money you have. It is better to buy one thing every three months, but of good quality and one that suits you perfectly, which means it will delight you for a long time. Believe me, with such an attitude towards yourself, your clothes and money, you will quickly reach a new level of income.
