โI have lost all confidence when it comes to my style.โ
You have clothes. You might even keep buying them. But putting an outfit together and feeling happy in it? That is where you get stuck.
I am Nichola, a personal stylist and the woman behind Envious Styling. I help you understand why some clothes feel right and others never quite do, so you know what to look for, what to change and how to put outfits together for the life you have now.
Find the right styling help for you
Personal styling with me
If you keep trying things on and wondering why they do not feel right, I can help you work out what you are seeing and what to change. Work with me online, in my studio or while we shop together.
An occasion coming up?
Find something you are excited to wear, without buying another dress for one day. Browse the dresses, jumpsuits and two pieces I have chosen for the collection, with postal and studio try on options.
The Envi Band
A top that is too long can change the whole feel of an outfit. I created the Envi Band to help you adjust where tops and jumpers sit, without cutting them or pushing a load of fabric into your waistband.
I want you to know what to do when an outfit feels off.
You know when you put something on, look in the mirror and think, โNo. That is not rightโ? Then take the whole thing off because you cannot quite explain why?
That is the bit I help you with.
Sometimes it is the fit. Sometimes it is where a top ends, the shape of a neckline or how two pieces work together. You do not always need a different outfit. You need to understand what you are looking at.
When I first trained as a personal stylist, I thought the most useful thing I could do was put a lovely outfit together. I still love doing that. But after years of working with women, I know how much more useful it is when you can see for yourself why something works.
That is how I work with you. We look at your shape, proportions, colouring and what you actually want from your clothes. I explain what I notice, and we work through changes you can use again at home.
How we do that depends on what you need. My online styling gives you personal guidance without needing to come to the studio. If you would rather work through it with me in person, you can join me for in person styling. My style guides let you learn in your own time, with explanations you can come back to when you get stuck. And if it is the shopping part that leaves you overwhelmed, you can shop with me and we will put that understanding into practice together.
For occasions, my dress hire collection gives you options I have personally chosen, without needing to buy something you might only wear once. And I created the Envi Band for those everyday moments when you like the clothes, but need to change where a top sits to make the outfit work.
Whether we work together or you start with one of my guides, I want you to have something useful to come back to the next time you are standing in front of your wardrobe, wondering what to change.
Because I want what you learn with me to be useful on an ordinary Tuesday, too.

Not sure where to start?
If you have been guessing your body shape for years, start with my free quiz. It takes a couple of minutes and gives you a starting point for understanding how clothes sit on you.
Want help putting that into practice? My body shape guides explain what to look for in your clothes and why, with practical suggestions you can try with what you already own.
The quiz is free. My body shape guides are available separately if you would like more help.
