Should You Hire A Personal Stylist? RMRS Style Videos
About this video
Centeno explores three main pathways for men to improve their style: paid professional services like image consultants and stylists, indirectly paid options such as specialty menswear stores and custom tailors, and completely free resources including apps, networking with well-dressed individuals, and his automated consultation tool.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues that most men can benefit from working with a style professional, and emphasizes finding someone you resonate with whose aesthetic aligns with your goals
- Centeno distinguishes between image consultants (who address overall presentation), style consultants (focused on clothing), and personal shoppers (who take action on your behalf)
- Centeno recommends vetting professionals by asking informed questions, and notes that passion matters more than formal training; he also highlights specialty menswear stores and vintage stores as quality indirect paid options
- Centeno offers free alternatives including his mobile app, his automated consultation tool designed to scale personalized advice, and reaching out to well-dressed people in your network for recommendations
