1. What is a Personal Shopper?

A personal shopper is a qualified image consultant who helps customers by giving advice and suggestions when shopping for clothes. They can either work freelance, in boutiques or be employed by department stores.

A personal shopper will give the customer focused and individual attention, and will advise the customer of what trends are in, help the customer to decide what looks good on them, and assist in picking out an outfit for a particular occasion- or even an entire wardrobe for a particular season. As they are qualified image consultants, they will often also conduct other services such as a colour and style analysis, enabling the customer to better understand which colours suit them best, or which colours should be worn with others seasons.

2. What can you expect from a Personal Shopping Trip?

To begin with, a qualified image consultant will meet with you beforehand to discuss your lifestyle, wardrobe requirements, and individual style and if there is any particular outfit or occasion you would like to shop for. With this information, the image consultant will make a preliminary visit to stores that fit your requirements and research the key items you are after while ensuring that it fits within your budget. You will then be accompanied on a shopping trip that is focused as the stores have already been scanned for the best outfits for you.

If the aim of your trip was to have a total wardrobe overhaul, you will find at the end of your personal shopping trip that you have a capsule wardrobe. This will make every morning a breeze to get dressed quickly and easily while knowing that all your new clothes are stylish, fashionable and co-ordinate together.

3. Where does a Personal Shopper take you?
