Make the Most of Your Shopping Try-on + Styling Session
Here’s where it all comes together! During your Shopping Try-on + Styling Session, your stylist will incorporate your new pieces with your existing wardrobe to create complete Looks that look and feel great. Here are our best tips for making the most it.
Leave ALL of the boxes closed! Yes, all of them.
The struggle is real. We know how tempting it is to open boxes (just to peek!) as they arrive, but it’s much better to wait and open them alongside your stylist during your shopping try-on. Need to be convinced? Read why.
Get a full-length mirror.
If you (still!) don't have a full-length mirror, this is a great time to get one. Being able to see your Look head-to-toe is a game-changer when it comes to pulling together Looks — not just with your stylist, but pretty much forever after. A full-length mirror gives you perspective that you just can’t get when you only see yourself from the waist up.
Leave your clothes in your closet :)
Your stylist will start with the new pieces you have and prompt you if you need to go fetch something else.
This will enable you to keep the space clear, which is important!
Everything is easier when you’re organized. Before your styling session starts, clear some space so that when you’re pulling together Looks with your stylist, you’re not tripping over shoes or Legos. Many people find it works well to stage the clothes on their bed and use an area in front of their bed for the actual styling.
Have 2 devices on hand.
If possible, sign into the session from a laptop or iPad so that your phone can be free to use as a camera without interrupting the flow. Whenever your stylist is happy with a Look, they will prompt you to snap a pic and that’s a lot easier if you’re not speaking to the stylist over the same device that needs to be the camera.
Check your texts!
On the day of your Shopping Try-on + Styling Session, Stylematch will text you so you have our number handy. Before your session starts, check that you have received the text. If not, please text us at 615-246-5139.
Send us pics!
As noted above, your stylist will prompt you to snap a pic of each Look you love. At the end of the session, just text those photos to Stylematch so that our team can add them to your Stylematch app. All you have to do is reply to the text we sent you earlier!
After we receive your pics, we will add them to your Stylematch app, complete with tags and styling notes from your stylist. Then, when it’s time to get dressed, all you do is apply the relevant filters for what you’ve got going on and the app will serve you images of all of the Looks in your closet that are a good match. Your stylist can see which Looks you mark as wearing, as well as any that you choose to archive (and why). Over time, this gives your stylist unprecedented knowledge of what works for you — and doesn’t — and helps improve your styling in the future. It’s honestly pretty great. But you have to have the app for it to work :)
