Style Savers for the Single Guy

Q: As a single guy, I have no clue how to create stylish ensembles. I was wondering if there are any affordable services that can help me clean up my wardrobe?

Don't even think about blowing your paycheck on a pricey personal shopper (unless it's me, of course). Instead, head to your local department store for a FREE (yes, free!) consultation with a sales associate.Most major retail chains such as Bloomingdales and Saks Fifth Avenue offer complementary personal shopping services so as long as you book a session in advance. Sales associates will pull merchandise from the floor that works for your body and budget. The only downside: they typically work on commission so you might feel pressured to buy all the stuff.

As a last resort, you can scope out fashion merchandising students at top universities in your neighborhood. There's always a large pool of talent who would be willing to whip your wardrobe into shape. Plus, they charge a fraction of what a more established stylist would.
