I’m A Personal Shopper: 5 Items I Always Purchase for Wealthy Clients

Of course, there are plenty of positions Macy might be able to land at Target when she grows up. But if it’s retail she loves, she could open her own store, Koraca said. She could become a designer or work at one of the big fashion houses. Or she could become a personal shopper. “There are so many things you can do when it comes to retail,” Koraca said.

If Macy doesn’t already have a family member working in retail, it would be smart as she gets older and starts to think more seriously about career options to talk to someone in this field to learn more about it, Koraca said.

Want to know how the other half lives? Better yet, do you want to dress like they do? Well, who better to ask than the professionals tasked with curating their wardrobes: personal shoppers.

You may be surprised to learn that looking like a million bucks is not always about buying the most expensive items; it’s simply about buying the most expensive-looking items. “Quality pieces that are timeless,” stated Tara West, personal shopper and stylist at Tara West Fashion. She considers the best approach to allow her clients “to build a wardrobe that transcends trends and lasts for years, aligning with their interest in long-lasting value and sustainability.”

It should come as no surprise then that accessories reign supreme. Here are the various items always purchased for wealthy clients.

Everyday Jewelry

“Earrings, bracelets, and stackable necklaces are easy to add to any outfit and instantly elevate the entire look,” stated West. The key here is to choose elegant and understated pieces that celebrate the wearer, not the maker.

Designer Handbags

What would this list be without some classic handbags? West is most commonly asked for “a tote that serves as a catch-all for working and traveling women, and busy moms on the go.” Fendi is a popular choice for her clients. For personal stylist and style coach, Rayne Parvis, everyday vintage Saint Laurent handbags are a common go-to.

Well-made Blazers

“I am always recommending that my clients style their looks with a ‘third layering piece’ to make an outfit feel complete and polished,” stated Carolyn Martin, personal wardrobe stylist for business executives. “The most common third layering piece I recommend is a blazer that is versatile enough to dress down for day-to-day wear and dress up for more formal occasions.” Martin, Parvis, and West all said Veronica Beard is their most popular brand amongst female clients, with Martin adding that purchasing a Slate Denim Dickey to pair with this blazer is also common.

Martin said the Laser Cut Jersey Sport Coat by Eleventy is a frequently purchased item for her male clients. For both her male and female clients, these blazers “can be worn back to jeans or dress slacks and layered over anything from tees and collared shirts.”

Understated, Italian Shoes

The top sellers for Parvis’ female clients are the black, leather Tribute Nu Pieds slide sandals from Saint Laurent, while the top sellers for her male clients are the white, leather Common Projects sneakers. Both offer refined and sophisticated simplicity perfect for her wealthy clients.

A Great Pair of Quality Denim

They may not be an accessory, but they still round out the list for their accessory-like ability to be paired with almost anything. “I steer clients away from trending details and stick with staple cuts and quality fabrics,” stated West, who fields requests for Derek Lam because the specific brand of denim pants looks like trousers while comfortable for casual outings.
