Welcome to The Style Architect
I'm Jan, The Style Architect. I'm here to help;
• Women who run their own business
• Women who are leaders in their organisations.
• Women who are influential.
• Women who make a difference.
• Women who want to be visible.
You are a woman that knows herself and wants to invest in herself.
BUT You struggle with what is in your wardrobe.
If your wardrobe isn't saving you time and making you money, its not working for you
You want clarity in your wardrobe, your want to elevate your personal brand, you want to be the best version of yourself.
Your Personal Stylist
You know your stuff, you are an expert in your field and you know you need to elevate your personal brand. I can't wait to help you open up a whole new world of colour and style.
I have always loved clothes, I've made my own clothes since I was 10 years old, I had a business as a Dressmaker before Personal Styling took over.
I have always put different outfits together, having fun with colour, patterns and texture. I have a minimal wardrobe myself but my outfits are ever changing.
I love to help women understand how to style their body shape, women who can't see that they have style, and women who have a wardrobe full of clothes but barely wear any of them!
Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.
~ Rachel Zoe
How did you get here?
I'm excited that you discovered me.
You have a wardrobe full of clothes and struggle to put together an interesting collection of outfits. You would like to make the most of what you have, cut out the overwhelm you feel every time you open the doors and get some clarity in what you can wear to run your business, be a leader, be influential and make a difference.
I am not about telling you everything in your wardrobe is wrong and needs to be replaced. It's likely you have what you need and far more besides. I am passionate about making the most of what you have, re-inventing it, recreating new combinations and only buying new items that will tie a number of things together. If you need the extras to elevate your wardrobe then I'm all about small independents with ethically sourced clothing. If you're after fast fashion, I'm not the stylist for you.
When you are being the best version of you, I want you to have no thought about what you are wearing because it's all been taken care of. I want to save you time, money and energy because with your knowledge about how to use colour, how to dress your body shape and your very own style you will stop spending money on clothes you never wear, save time getting dressed every day and save the mental energy procrastinating on what to wear and where to find it.

10 ways to be the best version of yourself
10 Ways to be the Best Version of Yourself
10: Understand the dress code.
There are a myriad of different dress codes, and many that people and organisations just make up to confuse us! Never be afraid to ask the host for clarification and be respectful. Aim to be the best dressed person in the room.
9. Be immaculately groomed.
You might have the colour and style right but what about the hair, make up, nails, lingerie, hosiery. Any mishaps, broken and chipped nails, wet hair all act as distractions, will be noticed and your message will be diluted.
8. Don't forget the accessories and things in your bag
We still all have bits and pieces to carry around and if you are lacking pockets (too many women's clothes still lack pockets) you need somewhere to keep your phone because carrying it around with you constantly is just a pain. Think about the quality of the bag, the phone case, the pen, the notebook, the wallet, etc. All the little things. If you pull out a tatty old bit of kit, it will be noticed, again, a distraction from your message.
7. Reflect your personality
Dress for yourself, reflect your personality. Do not dress how you think someone else wants you to dress. You will feel uncomfortable and it won't be authentic.
6. Reflect your personality in a uniform
If you have to wear some kind of uniform for your job then always find a way to inject your personality. You can do that with your shoes, your jewellery, your hosiery, your lingerie,
5. Find your best neutral colours
Black and white is not simple. Only a few people suit a true black or white. Be clear on what suits you best. Explore charcoal grey and dark navy as an alternative to black. Try whites with warm or cool tones added. Find out and wear them well.
4. Understand Colours
Understand the best colours for your skin tone and which colours to wear close to your face or keep away from your face. Colour reflects your skin tone. Some colours make you look washed out, ill or older than you are because they will highlight the redness or the wrinkles. There are many colours that will make you shine, make you look amazing and in turn, make you feel fantastic. Find them and wear them.
3.Wear clothes that fit
Not all size labels are created equally and no manufacturer ever made a size to fit your exact body measurements, unless of course you’ve gone bespoke. The size in the back of the clothes is just a number, it's there to help the manufacturer, not you. What matters to you is the fit. Whatever you wear, to reflect your personal brand, to get your message out there, needs to fit. Not only will you look more put together but you will feel far more comfortable with the knowledge that a wardrobe malfunction is not going to happen.
2. Wear clothes that flatter you
The shapes and styles of clothes look different on different people. It really depends on your body shape and proportions. Consider what your brand is, who you are communicating with and what you have to say. Do not be consumed by the clothes, consider the lines, the layers, the texture, the shapes, there is a version of the same thing that looks much better on you than the other version.
1. Employ the services of a Personal Stylist
A personal stylist will help you and guide you to your best colours and how to wear them, uncover your style personality, advise on the best shapes, style and texture of clothes that will suit your body shape and help you get clarity in your wardrobe.
Be the best version of yourself, be international about getting dressed.
