ACE your look and your wardrobe

ACE Your Style – Assess · Choose · Express

Looking the part isn’t about perfection; it’s about being intentional. When you ACE your style, you step into each day with purpose and confidence. This three-step method—Assess, Choose, Express—gives you a practical, empowering way to transform your wardrobe and your presence.

Step 1: Assess

Begin by taking an honest look at what you own. Open your wardrobe. Ask yourself: Do these clothes make me feel confident, professional, successful, gorgeous, glamorous—or whatever your “hot words” are? It’s almost spring, the perfect time to do a thoughtful cull. Remove anything that doesn’t support your best self. If you can’t part with pieces immediately, set them aside and decide how to update your hair, make-up, or accessories so your look still feels fresh and authentic. And remember—don’t save “special” clothes for “special” days. Every day is special. Start dressing like it.

Step 2: Choose

Now pause. Choice is where transformation really begins. We’re creatures of habit; most of us wear 20% of our wardrobe 80% of the time because it’s easy. But doing the same thing and expecting a different result is, as the saying goes, the definition of madness. Instead, choose deliberately. Who do you want to be today? What will inspire people to notice you, listen to you, or take you seriously? Treat your getting-ready time as a ritual, a daily homage to how special you are. The act of choosing is where your intention meets your appearance.

Step 3: Express

Finally, act on your choices. Walk into your day embodying the words you set for yourself—confident, professional, successful, glamorous, or bold. This is more than “acting” in the sense of pretending; it’s about taking action until it becomes second nature. Like learning to drive, at first it takes effort, then it becomes effortless. The more you express your chosen image, the more it stops being something you “do” and starts being who you are. Doors open, opportunities appear, and you step fully into your potential.

A Client Story

Take Sophie, a senior account manager I worked with last year. She was constantly shopping on a whim, filling her closet with mismatched pieces but never feeling she had anything to wear. Each morning became a stressful guessing game. After a consultation, Sophie discovered her true style personality and colour group. We applied the ACE method: she assessed her current wardrobe, chose pieces that worked together, and began expressing her new image daily. Within months, her colleagues noticed. She looked sharper, sounded more assured, and started presenting herself with purpose. Six months later, Sophie was promoted. She didn’t just change her clothes; she changed her presence—and she aced her look and her job.

Your Turn to ACE It

You deserve the same clarity and confidence. If you’re ready to stop guessing and start dressing with purpose, book a professional wardrobe audit or style consultation. Or, if you’re drawn to helping others do the same, explore our training programs and become an image consultant yourself. Whether you’re refreshing your personal style or building a career in this field, the ACE method will set you—and your clients—on the path to lasting success.
