Sometimes an outfit needs a second opinion, but what to do if you’ve reached the point where nothing feels right? There comes a time when one’s wardrobe is in need of the clarity offered by someone else’s well-honed eye. Or an invitation to a smart event requires a high-stakes outfit that is beyond your remit. Here are the best luxury personal stylists, from those on the red-carpet beat to those who specialise in house calls — whether you’re in need of stardust, inspiration or simply a spruce-up.

Sara Parker Bowles
Sara Parker Bowles, the founder of Wardrobe Revivals
Yes, that surname is familiar — but this former Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar journalist is concentrating on another Firm these days: her own. Wardrobe Revivals is about how to put what you already own together, filleting the good and thinning out the never-worn to ensure total confidence whenever you next dip in. Parker Bowles — who has dressed Kate Moss and Sienna Miller — started her company after re-evaluating her own approach to style and shopping in midlife, so if this is you: she gets it.

Prue White
Ruth Wilson styled by Prue White for The Times Magazine
Nigella Lawson, Ruth Wilson, Aiden Turner and Mark Strong — as stylist at The Times Magazine for two decades, White has worked with celebrities, sports and media stars, authors and those unused to the glare of the flashbulb. That makes her uniquely suited to calmly and kindly building confidence through clothing, reassessing styles that no longer serve as they should, to create a solid foundation for feeling good in the future. She offers in-person and virtual sessions for women and men.
