When I needed an image reset, both professionally and socially, Claire made it happen. She knew exactly what was needed, did the leg work and was careful to make efficient use of my time. I could not be happier with the experience and result.

I can't thank Claire enough for all of her help! The entire process was so much fun, and I really enjoyed working with her. I appreciated her confidence when guiding me through what looked good and what didn't, and am so happy that she encouraged me to take some "risks" and think outside the box. Some of my favorite purchases from our shopping trip are things that I never would have picked out for myself! I really do consider working with her to be an investment and a money saver in the long run because I know that I'm finally buying the RIGHT things.

I want to begin by saying I never knew the impact my image had on my life and my self-worth. I have been in mostly the same clothes for the past 8 years. Sure, I would pick up a new item here and there, but I would never really know how to integrate it into my current wardrobe which means it would either become another dust collector or look out of sorts when I wore it. I work in a professional setting and want to convey that professionalism even when out in public on my own time, I never appreciated the power that my clothes would have on my level of confidence and demeanor when in the public and professional setting.
Enter working with Claire. Not only did she do a very thorough consultation to find out exactly what I was looking for, but she curated the entire wardrobe for me to be tried on, discussed, and purchased in one easy (and might I add enjoyable) afternoon. I remember trying on clothes that I would have never even taken a second look at before, partly because I clearly didn't know what to look for, but also because of the price tag. I always would hesitate to spend money on clothes because of my past experiences. What if I didn't like it later? What if I didn't wear it enough to justify the cost? I had none of that during the try-on. I felt good. I looked good. And I had no issues justifying making the investment in myself.
I think that's where the personal change happened. I finally was able to invest in myself in a way that felt meaningful and comfortable. Now, I am happy to leave the house, knowing that I have outfits created by Claire that will look good and give me a ton of variety. She took not only my existing clothes (the ones that made the cut to stick around) and my new wardrobe and created an entire cookbook that I can reference for any occasion.
At the end of the day, it's nice to have nice clothes and to have something to wear when I go to work or to go out with my wife, but the biggest value that I got out of the process was the increase in self-confidence and self-worth when moving through my day-to-day with my new look.
I would recommend Claire and her team to anyone, it has truly been a life-shifting experience for me.

Claire Roberts Style has been amazing in helping me hone my image in ways that positively impact my professional life. I started a new job as a Department Head, which includes working with faculty, students, industry executives, government, etc. I had additional challenges including a busy schedule; a new city; very specific likes and dislikes on fabrics, style, or comfort; and a desire to integrate the university color of red into my wardrobe. Claire worked with me to ensure professional dress appropriate for my age and rank, while still maintaining the comfort that I desire in clothing. She has helped me display the strong, modern woman, yet feminine in a male-dominated field. For my needs, I appreciate the help she has given me in purging my wardrobe with humor and tact, identifying pieces that I would not have thought to have bought but now I cannot live without, recommending power colors and styles specific to me, and how to put together the whole outfit from shoes to ears. I regularly receive compliments on my style at work, and I have become a preacher for her services. I think everyone should have a Claire!

Working with Claire was wonderful! My lifestyle and career changed quite drastically, and I needed help bringing my closet up to speed. I had some great pieces but I didn't know how to start putting them together. Claire identified gaps in my wardrobe and gave me very useful tips on outfits, style, and organization. Shopping is definitely not an activity I enjoy but Claire made it painless (fun, actually!) and efficient. Comfort and functionality are most important to me. I wanted to maintain simplicity but build confidence in a professional, feminine image. Claire made my character priority and helped me find smart pieces. Being so knowledgeable about trends, fabric, fit, colors, etc., she did of course challenge me and introduce me to great things I would never have considered before (and got a good laugh at my reaction to things like ruffles- she made it easy to say "thanks but no thanks"). The time I spent with Claire was valuable and comfortable. I would definitely recommend Claire to anyone, and I hope she doesn't go anywhere so I can work with her more!

She is professional and respectful yet warm. Her style is on point. She brought in a variety of clothing choices that I would have never expected but fell in love with the items once I tried them on. Claire really *got* my vision for a powerful image and ran with it. I bought a whole new wardrobe with her direction. I get compliments every time I go out now. When my husband and I were still in Raleigh a guy who was driving by slowed down, rolled down the window, and gave a genuine compliment... we had never met him before. The new style stood out enough for him to stop the car and say something positive and respectful about how I looked. All that to say, it was a big success. I would recommend Claire to anyone who feels lost in the department store and unsure of how to achieve a unique, modern style.

Claire is a fantastic, upbeat and knowledgeable consultant who is personable and professional and provides great customer service. The process has been one of the most fun and valuable experiences I have had in a long time I am very busy newly single executive with two great kids, and we are always on the go but I wanted help updating my personal and professional look. What I appreciated most was that Claire took the time to learn about me and what I wanted and then she tailored her process to meet my personality and needs. She always has a great attitude and is willing to constructively challenge her clients to get the best results for them in a fun way. Not ever having done anything like this I was not sure what to expect, she explained her process and worked with my constraints to come up with a unique plan and then was there to walk me through every step of the way from closet clean out to tailoring to shopping. I really appreciated the personalize attention. With as busy as I have become, I don't have much time to shop, so I was a little wary of our trip. All I can say is that when I turned the corner in the dressing room and saw everything she had pulled out for me to try I was blown away not only with the thoughtful selection, breadth of choices but also the respect for my limited time. I also really appreciated the collaboration to prioritize purchases and work within my budget and plan next steps. While I am at the beginning of the process, I feel like I have a partner to help get me where I want to go.

The service Claire performs in our household is one we can't live without, but didn't know we needed. As a divorced father of 3 growing boys, it's hard to stay on top of styles and wardrobes, especially as they outgrow things a few times a year. She's patient, professional, has a great eye, and manages all of our closets brilliantly. Thanks Claire. I highly recommend this service and more importantly, this stylist and her eye.

Claire is a breath of fresh air. She came into my home, organized my closet, laughed with me as we purged clothing out of my space, perfected my organizational systems, and has provided support as we come up with a more refined personal style for me and my significant other. She then hunted for perfect items for me, and took me shopping for 4 hours. When we arrived at the store she already had the dressing room set up and stocked with clothing she had already hunted for, and she was like a sister // best friend as I tried things on, got new sizes, and decided on the items we would purchase. She even hung things back up for me. Then she came home with me and helped me put together outfits. I am a busy busy business owner and my time is precious to me. I let my personal style take a back burner to managing my company and staff. I have very little free time. Claire has provided a beautiful service to us and has really helped my self confidence. I now have a very well rounded wardrobe and can spend more time on my business, and less time in the closet stressing over outfits. She's worth every penny.
