Virtual Styling services are a game changer in the personal styling space.
You may have noticed many stylists and stores pivoting to “virtual styling” over this lockdown period. With stores closed and social distancing measures in place, in person styling became impossible for a while. However now that things are slowly returning to normal, it seems that having the option to work with a stylist over Zoom is still an incredibly attractive idea for a lot of people.
Here are five reasons to consider a virtual styling session to up-level your style game.
Outsourcing
I know a lot of entrepreneurs in particular will be familiar with this strategy. Businesses outsource various tasks all the time, and it’s becoming increasingly more popular to outsource certain personal tasks also. You might have your meals delivered, work with an accountant to do your taxes, have a cleaning service come to your house once a week- why not outsource shopping too? The benefits of outsourcing tasks, is that it frees up your time to be focussing on the most important things in your life that require your attention, such as your business or family, or even hobbies and adventures which bring you joy. Virtual styling involves a one hour consultation with a stylist, and then the stylist will do all of the work for you, and deliver your new wardrobe either in a series on online shopping links, or they could even do the physical shopping for you and deliver your perfectly curated new wardrobe to your door.
Location
I grew up in a regional South Australian town, and I know that despite online shopping being an option, a lot of people will still travel five hours to the closest capital city in order to do some shopping, or to work with a stylist one on one. Virtual Styling is far more convenient and allows you to work with a stylist without leaving your couch. Imagine being able to put your petrol and hotel money toward your new wardrobe instead?
Save Money
Working with a stylist of course attracts a fee. However, you are ultimately paying someone for their expertise and in the long run this will actually save you money How? Your curated edit of new pieces have been specifically recommended to you with the long term top of mind. These pieces have been selected to suit your lifestyle, shape and budget and therefore will save you money as you wont be making buying mistakes based on emotion, impulse or past habits.
You Hate Online Shopping
I was so surprised to learn how many fellow Millennials dislike online shopping. The main reasons being difficulty with sizing, fit, returns and lack of fabric knowledge. Online shopping can be overwhelming, if nothing else, the sheer number of stores available to you is a mission unto itself. However you could use a virtual styling session to get your feet wet in the world of online shopping. The stylist will point you in the right direction of stores which suit your lifestyle, shape and budget and you might be surprised how easy (and fun) it can be. You also have the added assurance that the pieces you are purchasing are more than likely going to work for you.

The best part about online styling is the personalised recommendations PDF you receive upon completion of the service. This guide is full of tips and tricks tailored to you and is an amazing resource to manage your style well after your session is complete.
Never Leave the House
You don’t even need to leave the couch if you don’t want to. You might have to go to the front door to collect a package, but thats about as intensive as it gets.
Time Saving
This was briefly touched on in the section about outsourcing, but overall virtual styling can save you hours. Traditional styling packages are very time intensive and some people prefer this level of support. However if you are wanting all of the benefits of a stylist, with minimal time commitment, then virtual styling will be your new best friend. The maximum time commitment is between 1-2 hours over different days depending on the level of package you purchase. Perfect for busy lives.
