How to Hire the Right Wardrobe Stylist

It’s a busy morning, you’re running late, and despite a closet full of clothes, you can’t find anything to wear that makes you feel confident. Sound familiar? Let me tell you you’re not alone. Many people struggle with wardrobes that don’t align with their style, lifestyle, or needs. But I can help!

As a wardrobe stylist, I don’t just help you shop. I aspire to transform your relationship with your closet. By curating a wardrobe tailored to your life and goals, I can save you time, reduce stress, and even save you money in the long run.

Here’s what you need to know to find the right wardrobe stylist — and how I can help!

What I Do as a Wardrobe Stylist

Wardrobe styling isn’t just about clothes. It’s about making your life easier and helping you feel good in what you wear. I work with clients to create wardrobes that actually fit their lifestyle, so getting dressed feels effortless instead of frustrating.

Here’s how I do it:

  • Closet Editing – We go through your wardrobe together, deciding what stays, what goes, and what’s missing. No pressure, just smart choices.

  • Outfit Creation – I help you see new possibilities in the clothes you already own, putting together looks you might not have considered.

  • Personal Shopping – If there are gaps in your wardrobe, I’ll find the right pieces to fill them—things you’ll actually wear and love.

  • Wardrobe Planning – Whether it’s workwear, travel outfits, or something special, I help you plan a wardrobe that works for your life.

When we’re done, you’ll have a closet that feels put together and truly reflects who you are. No more guesswork, no more frustration—just clothes that make sense for you.


5 Signs It’s Time to Hire a Wardrobe Stylist

If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone—and a stylist can help.

  • Your closet is full, but somehow, you still have nothing to wear.

  • Your clothes don’t feel like you anymore—maybe they’re outdated or don’t fit your lifestyle.

  • You’re going through a big life change (new job, parenthood, a move) and need a wardrobe that keeps up.

  • Getting dressed feels stressful when it should be easy.

  • You’re tired of buying clothes that never quite work.

If this sounds like you, I can help. We’ll simplify your wardrobe, define your personal style, and make getting dressed something you actually enjoy.


How to Choose the Right Wardrobe Stylist

Finding the right stylist matters—this is a personal process, and you want to work with someone who truly gets you. Here’s what to look for:

  • Experience That Matches Your Needs – They should know how to organize a closet, style outfits, and shop for different body types. More importantly, they should understand how to make a wardrobe work for you.

  • A Good Listener – A great stylist doesn’t just impose their vision. They take the time to understand your style, lifestyle, and goals.

  • Practical Solutions, Not Just Pretty Outfits – It’s not just about the clothes—it’s about making your wardrobe functional. Whether that’s organizing your space, creating outfit formulas, or building a smart shopping list, they should set you up for success.

  • Respect for Your Time and Budget – The best stylists help you make the most of what you already own and only recommend pieces that fit your budget.

  • A Comfortable, Supportive Approach – Let’s be honest—having someone go through your closet can feel vulnerable. You want a stylist who makes you feel at ease, not judged.

That’s exactly how I approach every Ando Edit. My goal isn’t to overwhelm you with trends or push you too far outside your comfort zone. Instead, I focus on making your wardrobe work for your life—whether that means a closet that’s easier to navigate or outfits that boost your confidence.

With me, you get expertise, organization, and plenty of encouragement. We’ll refine what you already own and fill in the gaps with smart, practical choices. More than anything, I want you to feel excited every time you step into your closet.

A Client’s Story: From Overwhelmed to Confident

One of my clients shared this after working with me:

Kymberly helped me go through every single piece of clothing, giving me another perspective on what fit well and what didn’t, and what brands, styles, cuts and trends work best with my body type. There is no judgement, only constructive feedback.

Kymberly managed to thin out my closet and dressers while creating more outfits for me to wear. She also created a custom list of things I should buy in order to stretch my wardrobe even further. Kymberly also taught me tips that I still use when shopping & creating outfits. I dress & look better than ever, thanks to Ando Edit!

This kind of transformation is exactly what The Ando Edit is all about: creating a wardrobe that works for you and helps you feel your best every day.
