Now this is a matter I know something about. I bought one for my long-suffering wife a few years ago, and she was very pleased with it. However, a man should never suggest his partner could or should improve her appearance. When asked how a piece of clothing looks on her, DO NOT TAKE THE BAIT. The correct response is to say she looks beautiful. So, only give her a styling service if she has expressly asked for it. Contact Savvy Style (www.savvystyle.com), where package options include the Total Makeover (HK$3,500), a Wardrobe Workout consultation at home (HK$3,000 to HK$10,500) and a Colour Consultation (HK$1,100 and up). Perhaps you could present your wife with a generic coupon at Christmas, then allow her to fine tune the service later.
Mr Dandy: Who doesn't love a makeover? Get her a session with the gals at The Changing Room (www.thechangingroomhk.com). Uber stylish co-founders Pier Djerejian-Shiever and Jessica Meyers-Van De Velde will either charge by the hour or for a package. They recommend starting with a wardrobe edit and styling session, followed by a shopping trip for two hours (or more). Next, they suggest creating a personal look book, with photographs of your wife during her styling session and in different outfits, to serve as inspiration when she thinks she has nothing to wear.
I've been invited to a party and the invitation says the dress code is "sparkles". "Lounge suit" or "black tie" I get. This, I don't know where to begin. How can a guy turn up to a party in sparkles with his dignity intact (so he can chat up the sexy ladies)?
