Fashion Coach

Most people hear or see the words "fashion coach" and immediately dismiss the idea as "not for me". The prevailing opinion is that fashion coaches are exclusively for the wealthy or people that are climbing the corporate ladder. However, everyone could benefit from having a fashion coach. Many find it beneficial to have a personal trainer for exercise. Do you use a financial planner or a trusted banker to help you with your finances? Do you rely on the cashier at the local drive-thru to help you determine if your car is operating correctly. No matter the subject, it is always an excellent idea to have an independent viewpoint. If you are going to ask someone for advice, why not ask someone with expertise. Have you, or anyone you know, asked your neighbor, "Should I place my money in a certificate of deposit or buy municipal bonds"? Yet, it is commonplace to ask others, "Does this tie match my shirt?"  Allow me to suggest four reasons why a fashion coach is a good idea:

1) They not only know what is currently in fashion, they also know what will be in fashion, and what will always be in style
2) They can help plan and customize a wardrobe which complements your individual lifestyle needs
3) They can, and will, save you money in the long run because they are experts in purchasing clothes from many places (they know where the bargains are!)
4)You can learn from them

As with any profession, some practitioners strive for excellence and others do not. Ask questions. Ask for references. Ask them to give you a demonstration and a proposal. Interview them. Finally, try to find a fashion coach that values a long-term relationship.  Make sure they take time to understand your preferences, employment, and aspirations. Doing this will make it far likely that you find a fashion coach that is right for you.
