Fashion keeps evolving with every passing day. Let’s be honest, while many people may say that they are not concerned about their look, but it’s a universal truth that everyone likes to get noticed for the right reasons. While some people are born stylish and may pull off even ripped jeans and messy hair with panache, many of us find it difficult to figure out what to wear even for a girls night out.
The fashion world is always embracing new additions in its terminology, with one of the buzzwords being ‘fashion consultants’ The meaning of the term is fairly evident and probably you would have read it in more than a few places, but do you really know what they do and whether you need one? Probably not. If so, we have all the reasons to believe this read would help.
What Fashion Consultants Do
Fashion consultants, also known as personal stylists or image consultants, help clients to enhance their persona by suggesting apparels and helping them decide which styles are flattering. Occasionally, they also help corporate personalities leave a mark during business meetings and events, in turn helping them climb up their work ladders. Fashion consultants help their clients with:
- Personal Shopping
- De-cluttering
- Hair Grooming
- Accessories selection
- Creating a series of outfit
Some specialized fashion consultants may even offer the following:
- Style Development
- Closet Edits
- Color Analysis
- Outfit styling
So, Are They Available to the General Public?
Well, yes, if you can manage to find an affordable one! At this point, you’re probably wondering how much money you’d have to dish out to hire a fashion consultant. Though there’s no fixed fee for a fashion consultant, the service fees charged by leading quality stylists are fairly high. Internationally, the cost of hiring them can range between $50 and $500 per hour and the cost of top Indian designers would be close to the same mark (inflation adjusted).
Now the Big One: Do I Need One or Not?
In all honestly, it’s a personal choice. It all boils down to whether you trust your own judgment with clothes, accessories, shoes, etc. or not. Most people that do hire stylists or Fashion Consultants, do so on occasions such as big weddings and as we mentioned earlier, job interviews etc.
Is there an affordable alternative to fashion consultants?
There’s always an affordable alternative to everything! The simplest one being to look for women clothes online that are from top designers and fashion consultants. An even more affordable alternate is to go for used designer clothes. It’s possible to find top quality tops for less than ₹ 1000, shirts for less than ₹800 and skirts for less than ₹ 700!
