Top Personal Stylist NYC Becomes Top Virtual Stylist

July 17, 2021 · In: Men, Petite, Plus Size, Women

Image Consultant and Personal Stylist NYC, Michelle T. Sterling, has successfully impacted the lives of countless men and women with her proprietary SHOP, SHIP, STYLE Virtual Styling Service.

When the pandemic hit, our lives changed globally.  While small countries adjusted better to combat the spread of COVID-19, the world was operating virtually. Those who quickly pivoted their personal stylist NYC business into virtual styling services were the most successful.

While many privileged New Yorkers retreated to second homes outside of New York City, personal stylist NYC Michelle T. Sterling was back on the streets of Manhattan in July 2020 personal shopping and shipping items to her clients.

Typically, Global Image Group’s Personal Stylist NYC service is a four-step service that includes the following:

  • Personal Style Analysis
  • Wardrobe and Closet Analysis
  • Personal Shopping
  • Wardrobe Coordination and Digital Capsule Wardrobe Guide

However, as Michelle T. Sterling is an internationally renowned image consultant and personal stylist train-the-trainer who is accustomed to developing new programs and strategies to impact the personal styling industry, she was quickly able to pivot her business and developed the SHOP SHIP STYLE Virtual Styling System.  As a result, she won three awards in 2020.

ONE OF THREE AWARDS

Global Image Group’s proprietary virtual styling system provides you with the best benefits of NYC personal shopping, while also working with Michelle T. Sterling from the comfort of your own home to meet your personal styling needs.

Why would you need a personal stylist NYC during a global pandemic?

Studies show that an employee’s productivity is influenced by the clothing they wear. For the last 15 years of Michelle T. Sterling’s career as a personal stylist NYC, comfort has been her client’s top priority when it comes to dressing professionally.

For those individuals who were accustomed to wearing business attire work clothing 80% of the month, the new normal became work-from-home clothing. Male and female executives and professionals didn’t know what that meant. Was it business casual or was there such a thing as work-from-home business casual? So Global Image Group’s Michelle T. Sterling started providing Online Closet Edits and Virtual Wardrobe Styling for Men and Women to help them develop a work-from-home capsule wardrobe from their existing closet and fill in whatever gaps were necessary through our Online Personal Shopping Service, such as a capsule wardrobe of athleisure clothing.

Initially, her personal stylist NYC clients were taking advantage of Global Image Group’s Virtual Styling Services since they were reluctant to leave their homes and go shopping.

However, now Global Image Group serves clients throughout the United States and globally with our Virtual Styling Services.

For the men and women who used to travel to New York to work with image consultant and personal stylist Michelle T. Sterling, you can avoid the hassle of traveling to NYC to get personal styled by her and try our SHOP SHIP STYLE proprietary Virtual Styling Services.

Here’s what some of our clients have to say

…I reached out to Michelle again 8 years later in 2019. It was definitely worth my time and money to spend 1.5 days with her in New York to refresh and replenish my wardrobe. Since our last session 2 years ago, I have worked with her using the SHOP + SHIP + STYLE virtual styling service to add new items to my wardrobe as well as beach vacation clothes.  As always, I love what she picks for me… Read more “Brent’s Testimonial”

…Since then, we moved to the L.A. area. And she’s done the same process for me in L.A. and Orange County, maneuvering through my weight changes from size 12 to 2 and stabilizing at size 8/10…difficult for us to sync up our schedules, so she started working with me virtually. I’ve been using her SHOP+SHIP+STYLE virtual styling service for the last 5 years to fill in the gaps in my wardrobe and for vacations.  I did try Nordstrom’s Trunk Club for a bit, but I canceled it… Read more “Katie’s Testimonial”

Katie, Corporate VP
Irvine, CA

Working with Michelle is definitely an investment, but a good one…the reason why I continue to work with her is because I only get compliments when I’m wearing the outfits that SHE picks. It’s been 3 years since my first consultation with her and I scheduled a follow-up half-day personal shopping session with her because who doesn’t like compliments? I think I’ll schedule a virtual closet edit with her next. Read more “Karen’s Testimonial”

Karen, Fintech Product Manager
New York, NY

Michelle is really great with colors. I definitely recommend getting a personal style analysis with her to review your colors. In fact she’s so good with color she help me defined the color scheme of my home, the color scheme of my business brand identity, as well as my best colors for my own personal brand. She put colors together in my wardrobe that I would’ve never put together, but it looks great! Read more “David’s Testimonial”

David, Founder and CEO
San Francisco, CA

Going through an online closet edit and virtual wardrobe styling session with Michelle was cathartic. She helped decide which items I should release to simplify my wardrobe and my life…I had a $2000 budget for clothes shopping, however we only spent $1350. Michelle was amazing about selecting stylish clothes that made me look current and put together within my budget. Read more “Michelle’s Testimonial”

Michelle, South African Housewife
Abu Dhabi, UAE

…it was easier just to work with her through the Global Image Group shop, ship, style Virtual Styling Service method. She’s been great about advising me on how to upgrade my style for on and off camera occasions – and generally just educating me on style and how to develop my own style. I highly recommend her if you’re looking to work with someone who is really knowledgeable about fashion, professional yet fun to work with. It will be one of the best investments you make in yourself… Read more “Deanna’s Testimonial”

Thank you for reaching out for insights on a fascinating shift in the tech world’s sartorial choices. Michelle T. Sterling, an image consultant and personal stylist to tech CEOs and Global Image Group’s founder, has indeed observed that high-powered tech CEOs are elevating their wardrobe game, opting for what we call ‘quiet luxury’ to establish a distinct personal brand identity that resonates sophistication without ostentatious branding.

In Silicon Valley and beyond, there’s a sense of understated wealth that does not clamor for attention but rather conveys worth through subtleness. It’s a matter of personal evolution and an organic shift that comes with maturing in the public eye. Take Mark Zuckerberg, for instance. His style has naturally evolved as he aged; the fashion paradigm for him now heavily leans on blue and grey luxury basics that align with Facebook’s brand palette.

Jensen Huang’s bold foray into a black biker aesthetic is commendable and fits his Nvidia brand image, which appeals to dynamic fields like gaming and cryptocurrency mining. It’s indeed a stark divergence from his previous engineer’s attire, now commanding presence.

In contrast, Elon Musk’s style accentuates his roots, showcasing a classic approach interspersed with hints of his South African privileged heritage. His consistent look integrates seamlessly with the aura of legacy and influence.

Satya Nadella’s wardrobe choices seem to reflect his allegiance to tradition and the corporate ethos of Microsoft, appearing unadorned by the hands of a stylist but capturing the essence of the brand’s mission through classic and eminent ensembles.

Personal style development among the tech elite often mirrors the maturity of their brands and personal identities. It seems less about style in the conventional sense and more about crafting a personal image through clothing that simplifies daily routines while still making potent statements.

Develop your personal brand image with Image Consultant and Personal Stylist Michelle T. Sterling. Service details on the bio link.

How to Find the Right Jeans for Your Body Type Jea How to Find the Right Jeans for Your Body Type
Jeans are a closet essential for everyone, regardless of your personal style or profession. However, finding the right pair of jeans for your body type can be a daunting task. With so many different styles and cuts available, it can be tough to know what will work best for you. In this blog post, I’ll break down the different body types and recommend the best jeans for each. Plus, I’ll share why scheduling an Essential Style Consultation with Sterling Personal Styling is the perfect way to identify your body type and what you should be wearing.

Hourglass Figure:

If you have an hourglass figure, you want to show off those curves! High-waisted jeans or boot cut styles are perfect for highlighting your waist and hips. Skinny jeans can be flattering, but you have to be careful not to create an imbalance with your curves. A good tip is to balance fitted tops and sweaters with wider leg jeans to keep your figure proportionate.

Pear Shape:

If your body is larger and curvier at the bottom than at the top, you likely have a pear-shaped body. The best type of jeans for this body type are ones with a flare or wide leg. This style will balance your proportions and create more curves on top. Avoid skinny jeans or super tight leggings, as they will only emphasize your bottom half.

Athletic Figure:

If you have an athletic body type, this means you have a slim frame with minimal curves. Skinny jeans will look terrific on you, as they emphasize your lower half. However, if you want to create the illusion of a curvy figure, consider adding a belt or wearing flared jeans. A good tip is to choose a high-waisted style to give yourself some length and to help create curves.

How to Style a Tweed Blazer for Women: 3 Tips from How to Style a Tweed Blazer for Women: 3 Tips from a Stylist, Michelle T. Sterling

Tweed blazers are an iconic piece that has been a mainstay in fashion for as long as we can remember. This sartorial staple exudes sophistication and elegance that can elevate any outfit, making it a must-have for every fashion-forward woman. But let’s face it - it can be challenging to style a tweed blazer without looking too preppy or conservative. As a stylist, I often get asked how to wear a tweed blazer, and I’m here to share with you my top three tips on how to style this versatile wardrobe staple.

1. Dress it Up with a Dress
One of my favorite ways to style a tweed blazer is by pairing it with a dress. Whether it’s a flowy maxi dress or a fitted sheath dress, layering a tweed blazer on top can add a touch of sophistication to any outfit. For a chic and feminine look, try pairing a tweed blazer with a slip dress and finish the look with a pair of heels. You can also swap out the dress for a blouse and a skirt combo for an equally stylish outfit.

2. Elevate Your Casual Look
For days when you want to look polished yet relaxed, styling a tweed blazer with jeans is the way to go. This combo is perfect for brunch with friends or a trip to the mall. For a laid-back look, pair your tweed blazer with jeans and a white tee. You can also dress it up by pairing it with dark wash jeans and heels.

3. Go Monochromatic
A monochromatic look is not only chic but also visually elongates your body. For a modern take on tweed blazers, try styling yours with a monochromatic outfit. You can pair a brown tweed blazer with camel pants and a camel sweater for a neutral-toned look. Or, you can try a black tweed blazer with black pants and a black top for a sleek and elegant look.

Styling a tweed blazer can be easy. By following these three tips, you can confidently incorporate a tweed blazer into your wardrobe and create endless outfit possibilities. Remember to have fun with your outfits and experiment with different textures and patterns to make your tweed blazer stand out.
