Why Image Consultants are the True Saviours

By Nagasunder in News Stories, posted January 11, 2022

Image consulting has been around for ages. But recently, it has gained immense popularity as a lucrative career option. The demand for image consultants has been increasing all over the world in IT, hospitality jobs, finance, banking, travel, and almost every other industry. And people who are passionate about grooming, clothing, and styling are taking up the role of an image consultant to earn themselves a great living.

Image consultants are equipped with the right skills to appropriately enhance their clients’ personalities. Their main goal is to help people gain the confidence to carry themselves gracefully in every environment.

Here’s what you can expect your image consultant to do:

Help You Dress as Per Your Body Shape

There are 8 body types. So, if the dress that looked flattering in the store window doesn’t look the same on you, it’s just not made for your body type. The job of an image consultant is to help you dress up in clothes that complement your body type and make it look it's absolute best. For example, your image consultant may ask you to ditch capris if you have chubby ankles.

Image consultants also suggest the colours that accentuate your personality. While helping you dress, their aim is to bring attention to the best attributes of your personality and take it away from the not-so-flattering ones.

Maximize Your Wardrobe

We often hear ourselves saying ‘I have nothing to wear despite having a closet full of clothes. The problem is that most people never utilize their wardrobes completely. They keep coming back to the same 3 attires that they wear at almost every important event. If that’s the case with you too, hire an image consultant. An image consultant helps its clients optimise their wardrobe without a lot of shopping. They share the art of mix and match with you so that you can wear your not-so-favorite clothes and still look fabulous. They work with you to maximise your dressing options without wasting time and money.

Help You Discover Your Personal Style

With easy access to international style, we all end up buying similar clothes that make us look good but not unique. And the job of an image consultant is to help you discover your statement style. With your unique style, you can make even an ordinary outfit look extraordinary. Moreover, the look will be only yours.

Help You Dress for Professional and Personal Events

Whether you have a job interview coming up, you’re going to a ritzy wedding or wanting to dress to impress on a date, an image consultant helps you bring out the best of your personality effortlessly. They help you dress as per the occasion so that you look neither under-dressed nor over the top. They simply help you put your best foot forward.

Train You on Body Language and Etiquette

Body language and etiquette form 2 very important parts of our personality. If you dress well but have a lousy body language, you’re not going to make a great impression. An image consultant helps you improve your body language and also trains you on developing business etiquette, dining etiquette, meeting etiquette, etc. They make sure that all aspects of your personality are improved and you project a strong and impressive image.

Give You a Lesson for Life

You may hire an image consultant for a short project but you will be surprised how you’ll benefit from the consulting throughout your life. You will be able to recognise your true style and incorporate it into your life better. You will gain the confidence to attract success in all walks of life.

It’s wonderful how expert image advice can bring a drastic and admirable improvement in our personalities. So much that it’s almost fascinating. In fact, it doesn’t come as a surprise when my clients tell me that they wish to become image consultants. And, why not! It’s a wholesome profession that’s not about working on projects to meet deadlines, but about working on real people and seeing the transformation as you go.
