how does a personal shopping session work?

have you ever stared into a closet full of clothes and felt like you had nothing to wear? the average person only wears about 20% of the clothing in his or her closets.

most clothing goes unworn because it's the result of an impulse purchase or doesn't fit correctly as it was ordered online. 

if you want to improve your style, consider a personal shopping session in Singapore. it can help you save time and money. plus, it can make you feel more confident. not just for the rich and famous, personal shopping is an affordable and incredibly effective way to transform your style, whether for work or the weekend. but how does it actually work? 

step 1: getting to know you

every successful personal shopping experience begins with a thorough consultation. we do this via email or whatsapp, and it's a deep dive into your lifestyle, preferences, and style goals. sortorial wants to understand who you are, what you do, and what you want your clothes to say about you.

during this stage, you'll share:

• your lifestyle: are you a corporate professional, a creative entrepreneur, a busy parent? your daily activities dictate the practicality and types of clothing you need.

• your current wardrobe challenges: what frustrations do you have with your current clothes? are you struggling with fit, lack of versatility, or simply feeling uninspired?

• your style aspirations: what kind of image do you want to project? do you admire a particular celebrity's style, or do you have a specific aesthetic in mind?

• your budget: this is crucial. sortorial will work within your comfort zone, whether you're looking for high-street finds or designer pieces.

• your body shape: understanding your unique physical attributes helps in selecting the most flattering cuts and colours.

step 2: wardrobe audit (optional but recommended) 

while not always mandatory, a wardrobe audit is an incredibly beneficial step. with our essentials or revamp package, we will visit your home to go through your existing wardrobe. this isn't about throwing everything out; it's about evaluating what you already own with a fresh, expert eye.

during the audit, we will:

• identify strengths and weaknesses: pinpoint pieces that work well for you and those that don't serve your style goals.

• create new outfits: often, you have fantastic pieces you just don't know how to combine. sortorial will create new, stylish outfits using your existing clothes.

• determine gaps: identify essential items that are missing from your wardrobe, forming a targeted shopping list.

• advise on alterations or repairs: suggest adjustments that can breathe new life into beloved garments.

• organise your wardrobe: Provide tips for a more functional and aesthetically pleasing closet.

this step saves you money by maximising your current collection and provides a clear picture of what's needed for your new look.

step 3: the behind-the-scenes magic

with the information from your consultation and wardrobe audit, we will visit different boutiques, department stores, and even online retailers. we will carefully choose items that match your style goals, body shape, and budget.

• saving you time: Imagine not having to scour racks for hours! we do all the legwork.

• curated selection: we'll pull together a carefully chosen array of clothing, shoes, and accessories.

• access to new brands: we have insider knowledge of hidden gems and emerging brands you might not discover on your own.

step 4: the shopping session

this is the exciting part! meet us at a pre-arranged location, typically a department store or a shop in Orchard Road. 

during your session, sortorial will:

• provide expert guidance: explain why certain pieces work for you, how to style them, and what to look for in terms of fit and fabric.

• offer honest feedback: give you objective opinions on how items look, ensuring you make confident choices in the future.

• teach you styling tricks: share valuable tips on accessorising, mixing and matching, and dressing for different occasions.

• ensure comfort: make the 2 hour session enjoyable, stress-free, and tailored to your pace.

the goal is not just to buy clothes, but to build a versatile and confidence-boosting capsule wardrobe that genuinely reflects the best version of you.

step 5: sustaining your style

a great personal shopping experience doesn't end when you leave the store. sortorial offers post-session support to help you integrate your new purchases and maintain your updated style. This can include:

• colour combinations: digital guide showing you how to mix and match the colours of your new items with existing pieces.

• subscription service: to check in on how you’re feeling with your new wardrobe and offering advice for styling questions or important events.

investing in a personal shopping session is more than just buying new clothes; it's an investment in yourself. It's about gaining clarity, confidence, and a capsule wardrobe that genuinely makes you feel empowered.
