This One Poplin Membership Lesson Might Change How You See Your Closet

We’re less than one month into Continuum — the Poplin membership designed exclusively for Poplin clients — and members are already finding new ways to fall in love with their closets again.

As a personal stylist for women, my goal has always been to help each client embrace her authentic personal style, choose pieces that flatter her existing frame, and do it all while reducing her cognitive load.

I often say that I’m teaching her to fish rather than simply choosing a few lovely outfits. Because understanding how to not just get dressed, but to love what you’re wearing — well, that’s a game changer.

For over a dozen years, I’ve heard requests for ongoing support as life evolves. We listened, we tested, we tweaked. And earlier this month, we launched Continuum, the membership designed to offer Poplin clients a lifetime of style support. Members enjoy a strong sense of community, ongoing learning, encouragement from one another, and manageable monthly challenges.

Reclaim Your Style Story: A Postpartum Guide to Dressing for Work

It’s been 15 years since I went back to work after the birth of my son, but as a personal stylist for women based in Seattle, I see many of my clients struggle with the same challenges. In fact, this post was inspired by a request from our recent Women in Finance Workshop.

It’s hard enough navigating the complexities of life with a newborn, whether or not you have other children. Heading back to the office can be both exhilarating and exhausting. But when you factor in not only what to wear, but how to feel good in your ever-changing body, things get even more complicated.

More Access to One of Your Favorite Brands is Around the Corner

As a personal stylist for women, I spend a great deal of time perusing retailers online and in real life. As much as I might adore a brand or style, I only recommend it for a client when it communicates her authentic personal style, is available in her color palette and flatters her frame.

Sometimes, there are incredible pieces that work for a wide variety of body types. The right wide leg pant is one of those pieces.

And no brand has mastered this cut better than Anthropologie’s own, Maeve. Regardless of your style or body type, it’s likely that you have at least one Maeve piece in your closet. The most popular choice being the Colette. The pant style is available in a zillion fabric choices and even expanded to skirts, dresses and jumpsuits in the last couple of years.
