Buttoned Up Style

Since launching her company in 2010, Natalie Tincher has been arming men and women with the savviness to know what looks best on them and the places to find timeless, flattering pieces. You’ll need to save for her signature Sort, Shop, & Style package ($1,350 for an in-home closet edit, a shopping trip and a styling session) but workshops are a wallet-friendly $75 and cover everything from finding your signature color to expertly accessorizing.

The thrill of scoring designer clothes at a steep discount gets more exciting with GILT’s personal shopping service.

Seek New York

Among the many draws of this agency is that resident stylists can get the job done with or without you. Styling outings ($125/hour; two-hour minimum) and closet reboots ($200/hour) are popular offerings, but if you’d rather leave the bulk of the work to the pros, they’ll pull looks for you prior to your arrival at a store ($75) or even do all the shopping for you ($100/hour).

Shop with Val

Valerie Halfon’s personal shopping business is known for something we all want and need in our lives: affordability. Hour-long sessions start at $95, and Halfon isn’t one to take clients to only pricey department stores and high-end boutiques. Instead, she works with all budgets and is a regular at places you’ll recognize, like Nordstrom Rack, H&M and Zara. (347-746-7787, shopwithval.com)
