Gentleman's Personal Stylist & Shopper

The steps outlined below are for illustrative purposes only and your needs may differ from this format. If they do, I’ll be only too happy to formulate a different approach.

First Contact

After first hearing from you I will set up a brief phone call during which we will set a mutually agreeable time and place for the initial consultation.

Initial Consultation

We will meet in pleasant surroundings. I will ask you about your life. Your personality, your profession, your relationship status, your social life, your dressing habits, your wardrobe, etc. 

I will also study your appearance and take a few pictures. 

I will get a full picture of you as an individual in order to understand how best to help you. Once we have built a rapport, and I understand you well, we will adjourn.

Planning

I will take what I’ve learned from you and devise a strategy for you to look your best. Be that for your work, for your social life, a special occasion, any other reason, or all of the above. Once I have ideas in mind I’ll pitch them to you online. The way you respond to these ideas will guide what we eventually do while shopping.

Shopping

We will go shopping. I will know exactly where we are going ahead of time and will do my utmost to make sure everything relevant is in stock. While we’re out you will make prudent purchases, from myriad options, under my watchful eye. If there is anything unavailable in-store I will advise you of what to order, from which retailers, and in which sizes.

Aftercare 

In menswear, the correct fit of clothing towers above most other concerns in its importance. Purchases we make may need to be altered in order to fit properly. I will guide you through this process and have a gifted tailor whose services I recommend. My tailor is also the only tailor in Manchester who offers a truly bespoke garment making service. If we need or want to have clothes made for you, he is the man for the job. 

I shall remain available to you indefinitely, until everything is accounted for, or until you have no further want of my services. I care deeply about the results of my work and that my clients are happy with them. I will make sure you are a satisfied customer.

Pricing

My rate starts at £60 per hour, plus expenses.

The above is for illustrative purposes only. Your needs may differ from this format. If they do I’ll be only too happy to formulate a different approach.

“Rupert, the man behind Out Smart, has been my go-to provider of sartorial advice for what seems like eons. Several times he has talked me into buying items I never thought I’d wear – a field jacket, a shawl collar cardigan, silk pocket squares, for instance – and each time I’ve become devoted to my new possessions to the extent I can barely recall not wanting them. Come to a session with Out Smart and your wardrobe will surely benefit.”

“Out Smart was a fantastic help in advising, sourcing and styling my wedding suit - top to toe.(plus tying in the best man & groomsmen!) Attention to detail and guidance throughout. Worked to my budget and a really fun process. Highly recommended. Cheers Out Smart!!”

“I consulted Out Smart when I wanted to invest in a new coat after years of just wearing what I found second hand or inherited from friends. I would heartily recommend the service. It was really thorough, with plenty of helpful advice and even an extended WhatsApp consultation while I was trying the coats on in the shop. Invaluable.”

“Rupert provided a fantastic service in the run-up to my wedding. I didn't really know what I was doing but he made suit shopping quick and easy, taking me through the different styles and fabrics based on the sort of thing I wanted. He knew exactly what would go together and where to find the different elements, and I looked smarter than I ever have in my life on the big day. 100% recommend”
