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.

Embracing the Timeless Elegance of Black: A Guide for Every Skin Tone

Black is a seasonal staple, a timeless colour that exudes sophistication and style. However, not all shades of black are created equal, and the right shade can make a world of difference in how it complements your complexion. Its can be a fine line between looking amazing and looking poorly!

I work with a tonal system of colour analysis but at its most basic level, work out if you're warm or cool toned and you're part way there.

Warm Tones: If you have warm tones, your skin naturally glows in hues of gold, peach, and bronze. To avoid overwhelming your complexion, opt for blacks with a brown or olive undertone. Pair black with warm-toned accessories like gold jewellery or a rust-coloured scarf to create a harmonious look.

Cool Tones: Individuals with cool tones often suit icy blues and crisp whites. Black can be a flattering and grounding colour for you. Pair it with cool-toned accessories like silver jewelry or a sapphire blue scarf. Consider a monochromatic look for a sleek and sophisticated ensemble.

Bright Tones: If you have a bright color palette, black can provide a striking contrast that makes your vibrant hues pop. Use black as a canvas for your bright colors, or opt for sharp, tailored black pieces to complement your clarity.

Soft-Muted Tones: For those with soft-muted tones, choose black fabrics with a softer texture like cashmere or jersey. Pair black with other muted neutrals to create a sophisticated and understated look.

Light Tones: If you have a light complexion, consider layering black with lighter colors to avoid overpowering your delicate features. Black prints or patterns can also be a great way to incorporate this classic hue.

Deep Tones: Individuals with deep tones can effortlessly rock an all-black ensemble. Embrace the drama by mixing textures and pairing black with other rich colors like burgundy or navy.

Remember: The key to wearing black successfully is to consider your overall complexion and choose the right shade and style to complement your unique beauty.
