Since 2004, Style Doctors has styled over 13,000 men and women and changes wardrobes and lives everyday.
We believe that a big part of why we’re still here 17 years later, is down to our world class stylists. Not only are they expertly trained but have the ability to make anyone from all walks of life, whatever their shape look and feel like amazing.
Maria is one of our popular Dubai based personal stylists and in this feature, we spent a ‘Moment with Maria’ to find out more about her.
How would you describe your style?
Modern with a feminine touch. I usually wear very simple items and play around with accessories/shoes. I like natural fabrics like linen, as I love the look and feel of it.
What is your message to women struggling with their confidence?
Love yourself the way you are. You don’t need to change anything about yourself. Modern and stylish clothing can be worn by anyone.
Everyone can look great, whatever their shape. The important thing is to dress for your body-type.
It’s just a matter of picking the right items for the right body.
We (as women) tend to be very hard on ourselves and often compare ourselves to others or to younger thinner versions of who we are now.
A large part of what we do as stylists, is help women (and men) feel confident through clothes.
What items do you think every woman needs to have in their wardrobe?
I often find that great basics are often missing from people’s wardrobes. Items like – black and white tops, blazers, a black dress (to dress up or down), denim and leather jackets, wide leg pants, and high waisted mom jeans.
If someone doesn’t have what we call these ‘wardrobe staples’, it makes putting together outfits difficult. However, when someone has great quality and well-fitting basics, it’s much easier to create outfits.
A Moment with Maria
What are some ways to elevate a look with accessories?
Don’t be afraid to mix & match with fun pieces, like hats, scarves, glasses, or big earrings. Make them pop by pairing them with simple outfits.
Who should hire a stylist?
Believe it or not, everyone can benefit from hiring a personal stylist.
You can be amazing at buying clothes and accessories but clueless when it comes to putting them together to create looks. On the other hand, you could be someone that hates shopping and never seem to find anything that’s right or you.
Because they get to understand you as a person, they can style you accordingly.
Stylists are not only shopping experts but also have a trained creative eye with the ability to create looks perfect for the individual.
