A closet audit (also called a wardrobe audit or closet edit) is a review of every item in your closet with a professional stylist. As a Boston personal stylist, I come to your home anywhere in Greater Boston. We decide together what to keep, sell, donate, or repair, and I do a professional color analysis.
What Is a Closet Audit or Wardrobe Inventory?
Whether your goal is to do your closet audit (or wardrobe inventory), to get rid of what doesn’t look good on you, or to identify what you need to spice up your wardrobe, this is the service for you.
Many of us have purchased a clothing item we didn’t end up wearing. Maybe it’s because the fit wasn’t quite right, the color didn’t suit us, or we were trying to keep up with a trend that doesn’t match our personal style.
Getting clear about your personal style not only makes it easier to declutter your wardrobe of items you don’t wear and love. It also helps you make better purchases in the future, because you know what works best for your body, your lifestyle, and your preferences.
Together, we will review every item in your wardrobe to decide what stays and what goes. I will help you identify pieces that are outdated, ill-fitting, or unflattering so you can clear the clutter. Then we will do a detailed color analysis to discover the exact shades that make you look and feel your absolute best.
I will identify missing links and make recommendations on how to create your dream wardrobe.

How a Closet Audit Works
1. Free consultation on Zoom
In a free 20–30 minute initial styling consultation, we discuss your lifestyle, body shape, budget, and style goals.
2. In-home closet review
I come to your home and we go through your closet item by item, sorting everything into keep, sell, donate, or repair.
3. Color analysis
I find the colors that flatter your skin tone, hair, and eyes, so you know which pieces to keep and what to buy next.
4. Your styling report and shopping list
You receive a personalized styling report and a list of the essential pieces your wardrobe is missing.
