Personal Styling for Thrift and Secondhand Shopping in Boston

Boston has a strong secondhand shopping culture, but shopping a large and constantly changing assortment can take time. Personal styling adds a filter to that experience. Instead of beginning with every rack, you begin with your fit, proportions, preferences, lifestyle, and wardrobe goals.

Why use a stylist for secondhand shopping?

The advantage of secondhand is variety. The challenge is also variety. Brands use different sizing, vintage proportions can differ from modern cuts, and one of a kind inventory means the same item may not be available again. A stylist helps evaluate what is worth trying and how it could function in a real wardrobe.

What we focus on at Diversity

Personal Styling Sessions at Diversity Consignment are centered on fit, proportion, color, silhouette, outfit building, accessories, footwear, lifestyle, and budget. The appointment lasts two hours and takes place in our Jamaica Plain store at 713 Centre Street in Boston.

A styling session is not a requirement to buy a whole new wardrobe

The goal is to make stronger decisions. That might mean building several looks, finding the right pants shape, learning how to accessorize, identifying colors you want to use more often, or finding a few pieces that connect clothing you already own.

Use the city as part of your wardrobe

Boston wardrobes have to handle work, walking, transit, seasonal weather, social plans, and different levels of formality. Personal styling is most useful when those realities are part of the conversation rather than treated as an afterthought.
