If you think of a personal stylist and fashion stylist as synonymous with one job, you could not have been more wrong! Though they sound similar, personal styling and fashion styling are two different ballparks altogether. A personal stylist is someone who caters their services to individuals by pulling together looks and assists them with their other styling needs. At the same time, a fashion stylist works with directors, artists, or models to curate looks based on several themes.

A personal stylist addresses an individual’s image through the lens of fashion and helps them identify their unique style. They assist them regularly by cultivating their styling needs. A fashion stylist, on the other hand, works on projects and cultivates upon a pre-established setup. They deal with a more “glam” side of the styling world and mainly work on sets. The background and aesthetics for both roles remain partially the same as a personal stylist would need to undergo training in order to be a fashion stylist, whereas, a fashion stylist can be a personal stylist. Both these domains serve entirely different target customers with entirely different parameters.  

A fashion stylist and a personal stylist can offer some unanimous advantages, even with the extreme variance in their roles. Let’s know some- 

No more impulse buys 

If you are one of those individuals who like to indulge in massive shopping sprees and end up with tonnes of impulse buys that dry out in your closets, you need a personal stylist. They will work on your styling objectives, and curate looks based on the same. This way you will only be investing in clothes that you wear. 

A fashion stylist, on the other hand, can save their project leads a lot on the finances by strategically planning the wardrobe and cutting down the cost of impulse buys. Projects can be tough to manage at times and may result in the directors or artists to get stuck with a lot of clothing or accessories that may not be used. A fashion stylist can help them align their goals and get them outfits in line with the same. 

Everything is coordinated and organized

A coordinated and organized wardrobe is one of the many pluses you achieve from hiring a personal stylist. They not only organize and declutter your existing wardrobe but also create new looks in line with the same. They coordinate your personal attributes with your styling goals and transform the very way you perceive fashion and styling. 

A fashion stylist is a necessity for directors or artists as they can easily coordinate the outfits in line with the theme and organize a wardrobe as per the objectives in mind of their project leads. They leverage their expertise in helping their clients be more organized about their approach towards their styling needs. 

New looks for no extra costs

A personal stylist will not only be your shopper but will also curate looks from your existing wardrobe. Most of the time, we are not aware of the potential our current wardrobe holds, and all we need to boost our style game is someone who recognizes that potential. A personal stylist will help you declutter your wardrobe and create a stylebook to organize the new looks for you to try on. 

Whereas a fashion stylist can leverage their retail ties or public relations to source outfits from designers for free of cost. They can easily get exclusive outfits loaned out for their projects and assist the project leads in investing their finances towards core activities.
