If you’ve ever stood in front of your wardrobe thinking, "I have nothing to wear," despite a rail full of clothes, working with a personal stylist might just be the best decision you’ll ever make. In a fast-paced city like London, where impressions count and lifestyles are diverse, having a professional by your side to guide your wardrobe choices can be a transformative experience.

A Personal Connection, Not Just a Shopping Trip

At One Of A Style, every styling journey starts with a genuine conversation. Founder and head stylist Stefania Bartolomei believes that great style begins with understanding who you are, not just what you wear. Over a coffee (virtual or in-person), she takes time to learn about your lifestyle, personality, and the way you want to feel in your clothes.

This is not a one-size-fits-all approach. It's a bespoke experience tailored to your needs, whether you’re a busy professional, a new mum, or someone who feels like they've lost their style direction.

The Colour and Body Shape Revelation

One of the most eye-opening parts of working with a personal stylist is discovering which colours and shapes truly flatter you. Stefania’s Colour & Style Clinic is a game-changer. You’ll learn whether you’re a Soft Autumn or a Clear Winter, and finally understand why some clothes never quite felt right.

Understanding your natural colouring and body proportions empowers you to make better shopping decisions going forward — saving time, money, and frustration.

Wardrobe Detox: Out With the Old, In With the You

Once your colour palette and style direction are clear, one of our experienced stylists can help you edit your existing wardrobe. This stage is often emotional but deeply rewarding. Together, you’ll identify what works, what doesn’t, and what’s missing.

Expect to feel lighter, clearer, and more confident just from decluttering your space. Plus, you’ll stop buying duplicates of things you never wear.

Personal Shopping with Purpose

When it comes time to shop, forget overwhelming high streets or endless scrolling online. Stefania will have a pre-selected rail waiting for you in-store, or curated online options sent to your inbox.

Every item is chosen with intention, based on your colours, lifestyle, budget, and goals. And yes, there will be smiles when you look in the mirror and feel like yourself again, only better.

A Confidence Boost That Lasts

Working with a personal stylist in London is about so much more than fashion. It’s about confidence, self-expression, and feeling good in your skin. You’ll walk away not just with clothes you love, but with a renewed sense of clarity and ease around getting dressed every day.

If you’re ready to stop second-guessing your wardrobe and start showing up as your best self, Stefania and the team at One Of A Style are here to help.

Common Concerns Before Working with a Personal Stylist (And Why You Don’t Need to Worry)

“I’m worried a stylist will judge my clothes or tell me to throw everything away.”

This is a very common fear, and completely understandable. But at One Of A Style, the approach is compassionate, not critical. Our Stylists aren’t there to judge what’s in your wardrobe; they’re there to help you understand what works and why.

Most clients are surprised at how much they get to keep, and how small tweaks (like tailoring or styling differently) can make a big difference. The goal isn’t to discard everything, but to create a wardrobe that truly serves you.

“I’m not stylish enough to have a stylist.”

There’s no such thing as needing to be “fashionable enough” to deserve help. In fact, most clients reach out because they don’t feel stylish, and that’s exactly where a personal stylist makes all the difference.

As personal stylists, we work with women of all ages and backgrounds, many of whom simply want to feel like themselves again. Whether you're rebuilding confidence, changing careers, or navigating a new life stage, personal styling is about you, not trends or labels.

“Isn’t this only for celebrities or people with huge budgets?”

It’s a myth that personal styling is a luxury reserved for the rich and famous. At One Of A Style, services are structured to be flexible, accessible, and focused on value, not excess.

You’ll actually end up saving money by avoiding impulse buys, wardrobe mistakes, and duplicated items. With the right foundations in place, you shop smarter, less often, and with more confidence.

“What if the stylist doesn’t ‘get’ me?”

This is why personal styling always starts with a conversation. Before any clothes are touched, there’s time to connect, talk about how you live your life, and what you want to feel when you get dressed.

Clients often say they feel “seen” and “heard, and that’s because Stefania’s Italian approach is intuitive, warm, and grounded in real life. You’re not a project or a Pinterest board. You’re a person, and your style journey should reflect that.

Your Common Questions

Do I need a big budget to work with a personal stylist?

We work with a variety of budgets, but many of our clients are looking to invest in quality pieces and build a wardrobe that reflects their lifestyle and aspirations. Whether you favour luxury brands or a refined high street mix, the focus is on intentional shopping; selecting timeless, flattering pieces that elevate your personal style and offer long-term value.

Will I have to change my entire wardrobe?

No. The focus is on building a wardrobe that reflects you. You’ll keep what works, learn how to style it differently, and only add what’s missing, thoughtfully and intentionally.

Is personal styling just about fashion?

Personal styling is about so much more than clothes. It’s about confidence, clarity, and self-expression. Many clients describe the experience as transformational, not just in how they dress, but how they feel.

Can I do everything online?

Yes! One Of A Style offers online colour and style consultations, as well as curated online shopping. Whether you're in London or anywhere else, you can still enjoy a full personal styling experience.
