Struggling to Evolve Your Style Without Compromising Who You Are?

You’re not alone. Many men hesitate to change their look out of fear that they’ll lose their identity. In this week’s episode of the Make It You Podcast, Tannya shares a transformation story that proves it’s possible to evolve your wardrobe while staying true to yourself.

Key Style Lessons from This Client Story

1. Your Wardrobe Should Reflect You

This client—an expressive, bold, creative professional in Seattle—wanted to look more modern without giving up his love for unique prints and standout pieces.

“I like that you’re not taking away who I am,” he said during our session.

2. Closet Edits = Clarity, Not Just Cleanouts

We kept what worked, eliminated what didn’t, and created a cohesive plan that made it easy to dress for work, events, and travel.

3. Capsule Wardrobes Work When Done Right

If you're wondering how to build a capsule wardrobe for work, the secret is finding pieces that mix, match, and express your personality.

4. Ask Yourself: How Do I Want to Show Up?

Style isn’t just about what you wear. It’s about how you feel in your clothes. That starts with intention.

You Deserve to Look Sharp and Feel Like Yourself
