Wardrobe inventory:
understanding the past to plan the future
Reviewing your wardrobe is a fundamental preparatory step in optimizing the results of the Personal Shopping Trip.
RF asks you to keep daily style notes over the course of 1-4 weeks before the Wardrobe Styling day in order to evaluate the clothing that is predominantly worn. RF also recommends its Image Consultancy: Style and Colour Analysis, which is a useful preparation for the Wardrobe Styling Session and subsequently for the Personal Shopping Trip. These three RF services are closely linked.
For the Wardrobe Styling session itself, which is ideally performed a couple of weeks before the Personal Shopping Trip, RF will visit you at your home. The first stage is a discussion of your current style in order to understand your garment purchasing history. This is followed by a thorough audit of your existing wardrobe, which will help you appreciate the changes gradually implemented by the service.
Every item is examined and considered to determine its suitability. At this stage, you will be asked to try on the things that seem unsuitable for your shape and characteristics, to show you exactly what is not successful, and why, to ensure that each garment fits well, and that its size, shape and colour are appropriate.
Making room for the new
It is then possible to start eliminating all the garments that have exceeded their useful life along with items that do not fit or are inappropriately cut with respect to body shape and those that are of inadequate quality. Clothing that reflects fashions of the past can also be removed, and likewise an excess of items that all say virtually the same thing. Making space in your wardrobe makes it easier to allow new clothes to be integrated.
