Understanding Your Style

Understanding Your Style is not about trends or shopping lists. It is about learning how clothes actually work on your body.

Whether you choose the virtual or in person option, this session gives you a clear understanding of your body shape, proportions, and colouring, and how to use that information in real life. When you understand these foundations, style stops feeling random or frustrating.

This is where shopping and dressing change. You begin to recognise shapes, cuts, and details that work for you before you even try them on. You stop guessing, stop overbuying, and start making choices that feel intentional and confident.

This is not about changing your personal style. It is about giving you the knowledge to trust your own decisions, so getting dressed becomes easier, more enjoyable, and far less overwhelming long term.

"Nichola’s advice helped me find my style again. Since having my last baby I felt in a little bit of a style rut, I was wearing the same thing every day and then embarrassed when I met someone out and about. Being able to find comfortable clothes, that also are a little more me was really brilliant."

Sheila, 62
"Thanks so much for all your help! I always struggled to understand what worked for my body shape, but this service gave me clarity and confidence. The shopping links were an added bonus—I much less online shopping and returning, win win.!"

Kate, 41
ā€˜I have put on weight around my middle and I just felt like I needed to wear baggy clothes to keep it covered. I actually came to Nichola first for Dress Hire, but I got both personal styling and personal shopping from her, and I can say it has changed my confidence 100%. Best thing I ever did for myself."

Do You Ever Feel Unsure About What Suits Your Body Shape?

Or maybe your style just doesn’t feel like you anymore?
Ā 

When your life changes, your body changes, or your priorities shift, it is very normal to feel disconnected from your wardrobe. The clothes you own might be fine on paper, but they no longer feel right on you.

Understanding Your Style is designed to bring clarity back. Not by telling you what to wear, but by helping you understand what works for your shape, your proportions, and your colouring, and just as importantly, why it works.

I am very passionate about education. Style is not about following rules, but knowing them gives you confidence. Once you understand the foundations, you can break them intentionally, rather than feeling like you are constantly getting it wrong.

Depending on your goals, I will guide you through everyday basics, capsule wardrobe pieces, and event styling. Everything is tailored to you, your lifestyle, and how you want to feel in your clothes, not a formula or a trend.

Does any of this feel familiar?

Your wardrobe is full, but getting dressed still feels hard.

You keep reaching for the same few pieces because they feel safe, even though you own plenty of clothes.

You know your body has changed, but you are not sure how to dress it now. What used to work does not anymore, and buying the next size up has not solved it.

Shopping feels overwhelming. You scroll, order, return, repeat. Sometimes things look great online, but once they are on your body, they just do not feel right.

You have good clothes, but not enough outfits. Nothing quite comes together the way you want it to, so getting dressed feels more effort than it should.

And quietly, you wonder if everyone else has some kind of rulebook that you missed.

How our In Person Understanding Your Style styling session works

We meet in person at the studio in Meath for a one hour session. During our time together, we explore your body shape, proportions, and colouring in a clear and practical way. I explain how clothes are designed to sit on the body, what styles and fabrics tend to work best for you, and why certain things have never quite felt right.

You are not handed a list of rules. You are guided through the foundations, so you leave with understanding, not confusion.

After the session, you will receive a personalised twenty page style guide within a few days. This pulls everything together and gives you a clear reference point you can return to whenever you are shopping or getting dressed.

Client Story - Emma, 38

''Life has changed so much for me in the past few years, and along with it, my body and wardrobe. Between work, kids, and everything else, I started feeling completely disconnected from my clothes. I’d stand in front of my wardrobe full of clothes and still have nothing to wear.

Before I had kids, I had a good sense of my style. But after two pregnancies, my body changed, and I was totally lost on what suited me anymore. Every time I went shopping, I’d buy clothes because I needed them last minute or because something caught my eye online. Half the time, I’d end up returning what I bought because it didn’t fit.Ā 

Then, I came across the Understanding Your Style package, I actually made my hubby buy it for me for my birthday andĀ I am delighted.Ā 

The workbook was a total game-changer. It included a breakdown of my body shape and proportions, along with really practical advice on what kinds of clothes would suit me best. The tips were so easy to follow and I felt like Nichola understood my style struggles!

One of the best parts was the shoppable links. I no longer had to spend hours scrolling through endless options online. Nichola had picked out key wardrobe essentials for me that fit my body and style perfectly. Plus, she gave me a list of people to follow who are just like me, normal people who actually share my shape."Ā 

I am Nichola, a personal stylist and image consultant who helps women feel more confident and comfortable in their clothes again. Not by chasing trends or buying more, but by understanding what actually works.

Like many of the women I work with, my life has changed over time. Motherhood, shifting routines, changing bodies, and evolving priorities can quietly pull you away from your sense of style. Suddenly, what once felt easy does not anymore. That lived experience shapes how I work and how I support my clients.

I co founded Envious Styling and Dress Hire with my best friend Sarah to create a space where women feel supported, understood, and never judged. A place where style feels realistic and wearable, whether you are dressing for everyday life or a special occasion.

My approach is rooted in education. I focus on body shape, proportions, and how clothes are designed to sit on the body. I do not just tell you what suits you. I explain why something works, so you leave with clarity and confidence, not a list of rules. From one to one styling and wardrobe refreshes to dress hire, every service is tailored to the woman in front of me, her lifestyle, and her goals.

At its heart, this work is not really about clothes. It is about feeling like yourself again. Dressing for who you are now, not who you were years ago, and doing it with less pressure and far more ease.Ā
