Autumn Style Finds

Outfit Ideas from Three Top Local Stylists

Lucia’s style:

I would describe my personal style as classic, modern, and polished. I am most comfortable in tailored clothing and I love to wear color.

Women should avoid:

Adopting trends that do not work for them and wearing clothes that do not fit and flatter their body type and current lifestyle.

Where to start the outfit:

The first step is to understand what you’re dressing for (events, venues, weather). Then select one statement piece and use that as inspiration to build the rest of your look.

Hannah’s style:

An edgy take on everyday fashion. Both a Minimalist and a maximalist. I love the challenge of taking a simple item of clothing and wearing it in tons of different ways! 

Style advice for women and men:

Fit and color. The way clothing fits your body is everything. It’ll make or break you. Don’t buy a smaller size just to satisfy your need to feel skinnier. The right color combination can also completely transform your outfit, and generate new options that increases your use for those items! 

Where to start the outfit:

I often start with bottoms. Do you want to wear pants, jeans, a skirt, etc? Once you determine the bottom, think about shoes. How do your shoes interact with your bottom choice? Then move on to the top and make sure to balance the top and bottom portions of your ‘fit.

Michelle’s style:

My personal style is best described as classic chic mixed with a rock edge.  I love to start with a classic piece, then layer in an unexpected twist like a concert tee, something with studs, rhinestones, or a biker jacket. 

Her customer:

My customer is a mom who is feeling stuck in a fashion rut. A woman who is no longer enjoying getting dressed, feeling unhappy with her body or just feeling overwhelmed trying to navigate so many fashion trends.

Style advice:

The biggest mistake people make when dressing themselves is to create so many rules and restrictions about what they wear. So many women I work with decide something won’t look good on them without even trying it on, leaving them with a closet of all the exact same looking pieces.
