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.

Your Personal Brand

July 01, 20244 min read

Your Personal Brand is all about you. 

You have a Personal Brand whether you are intentional about it or not. It is all about you that is left behind in the room you have just left.

What does that mean? 

However  you show up, that is your brand. It is the impression you make representing yourself on behalf of your employer or as the sole representative of your own business. Often it is referred to in the commercial branding of the business, the website, the logo, the colours, the way the business is presented. 

But what about you? 

Your personal brand isn't just about your skills or expertise. It is intricately tied to the way you present yourself, particularly through your clothing choices, style, and the colours you wear.

So, what exactly is personal branding? Think of it as the unique combination of qualities and characteristics that define you and set you apart from others. It's the impression you leave on people, the perception they have of you, and the story you tell through your actions, words, and appearance. Essentially, it's your professional identity.

Clothing Choices, Style, and Colours

When it comes to personal branding, the clothes you wear, your style, and the colours you choose play a significant role. They are the visual cues that speak volumes about who you are and what you represent. Whether you realise it or not, people form judgments and make assumptions based on your appearance within seconds of meeting you, in person or through a video call.  Your clothing choices can convey professionalism, confidence, creativity, and authority.

When you walk into a room wearing clothes that fit and flatter you,  in a colour that works for you,  you immediately command attention. You have confidence and competence without saying a word. If you show up in clothes that are sloppy, ill fitting, inappropriate for the occasion, or in a colour that makes you look washed out,  it can undermine your credibility and professionalism.

Confidence and Influence

When you feel good about how you look, it naturally boosts your self-esteem and confidence. Dressing in a way that reflects your personal style and aligns with your professional image can give you that extra spring in your step, that sense of empowerment that says, "I've got this."

Confidence is key when your goal is to influence others in the workplace. Whether you're pitching a new idea, leading a team, or networking with industry peers, your personal brand sets the tone for how others perceive you and how receptive they are to your message. This is the same whether it is in person or online. When you project authenticity and professionalism through your appearance, people are more likely to trust and respect you, paving the way for greater influence and impact.

How to get Intentional about your Personal Brand

As I said earlier, you have a personal brand whether you are intentional about it or not. However you choose to turn up will influence what others think about you. If you are in a position of leadership, you are the leader of your business, lead a team of 1 or 1000 in your workplace or have to convince people to buy into your idea / project, then be intentional about influencing what they think about you. Be the best version of yourself. 

A personal stylist will help  you identify the colours that suit you best, help you with the styles that flatter your body shape, pick up on your style personality and help you determine what you might need to add into your existing collection of clothes. 

Invest in quality pieces that fit well and make you feel confident. Pay attention to details like accessories, grooming, and overall presentation. Personal branding is an ongoing process, it is not about following the trends for the sake of it, it's about evolving and adapting while staying true to yourself.

Your personal brand is a powerful asset that can help you be influential, build connections, and propel your career or your business forward. By leveraging the way you dress, your style, and the colours you choose, you can create a lasting impression that sets you apart.

Embrace the power of your personal brand. Be Intentional and be the best version of yourself.
