Niki Whittle Personal Stylist and Image Consultant

My wife had used Nikki previously and was really impressed so I decided to do the same and had a fantastic experience. Nikki has an ability to understand what you need very quickly. The preparation work she puts in makes the day really easy. I envisioned having to try lots of items in order to whittle them down to what I wanted but she had chosen the right items straight away. I would definitely use her again - but not before my wife as I may be in trouble!

I had a wardrobe consultation as I felt I had no clothes and struggled to pull outfits together. Niki was friendly, honest but professional at the same time and left me feeling a lot more confident about my shape, and the clothes I have. She gave me great suggestions of what clothes I was missing and needed. Niki also sent me a email with links to these suggestions. Am looking forward to getting my report in the post and have already started to put her advice into practice and feel so much better for it! Thanks Niki.

As a working mum, juggling nursery runs with a busy commute and I had found that I had become stuck wearing jeans and t-shirts and trainers until they were worn through! I needed some inspiration for some alternative smarter outfits that were easy to wear and would suit my petite height! Niki, after thorough research created this amazing 'Style Bible' with loads of ideas and even pulled the items together to create different looks for me. Each item had a direct link to the shop so I could buy it straight away. The items were just my style with a few hidden gems that I would have never picked out on my own. Niki's email responses were prompt and very helpful. I was so impressed by the obvious care and thought she had taken over her work. I would highly recommend!

I had a wardrobe consultation and shopping trip with Niki and both were brilliant experiences. Niki was really down to earth and friendly and made both the shopping and wardrobe sort-through, really fun and enjoyable. After a horrible few years of health problems, the wardrobe and shopping time was such a treat for me and gave me a lot more confidence in how I look and feel. Niki was brilliant in adapting to and accommodating my needs (due to medical condition), both during the shopping, and also in the outfits that she chose. I had a limited budget for the shopping but Niki made the most of the sales and was able to pick out some great items, most of which I never would have picked out before. The information and tips she emailed afterwards was really comprehensive and the CD of outfit photos which she sent, was great to refer back to. I would definitely recommend Niki to anyone; she offers a really friendly, professional, down-to -earth service which can help you find/reclaim your style and feel great in the process!

I had a wardrobe consultation and shopping trip with Niki 18 months ago which was excellent - she really helped me to sort out my wardrobe (I had a LOT of black or brown clothing and many cardigans! ) and to point out styles and colours that suited me and those they didn't! Since then, I have had a much better understanding of what to look for when I go shopping and I am much more adventurous with the clothing I buy. This summer I asked Niki to recommend some outfits to wear for a couple of weddings and a christening-as Niki is in India, she offered me her online consultation service; I completed a questionnaire about what I was looking for, used Pinterest to pin ideas to a scrapbook and Niki sourced three outfits that she thought would suit, along with accessories. I found this service really good as it narrowed down my search. In the end, I did choose a dress that Niki recommended and I have been so pleased with the choice. The only problem I came across was the sales started just as I was trying to order items, but other than that I could not fault Niki's service. She was always available on email to discuss ideas (even with the time difference in India! ) and was really helpful in offering alternatives for the sale items that she had initially suggested. I would definitely recommend this service, for both one-off outfits or if there are items to update in your wardrobe. I would use Niki's online service again, especially as it allows you to order items online rather than trawling around the shops!Moreexpand_more

My partner organised a wardrobe consultation and shopping trip with Niki for my Christmas present. I was a little nervous, but Niki's personable manner soon put me at ease. I was surprised at how many outfit combinations we managed to work out from my existing wardrobe, as well as identifying some well-needed alterations and items that needed to be recycled! The follow-up shopping trip was great fun. Niki really did do all the hard work and had lots of items ready for me to try on. I was particularly surprised that most of the clothes were inexpensive and included many brands that I hadn't considered before. Niki was always mindful of my budget and I definitely feel that the trip saved me money and gave me plenty of ideas for the future. Niki's follow-up report, as well as images of the wardrobe consultation, mean I have a good record of what we discussed. I would definitely recommend Niki's services and found both sessions invaluable. Every aspect of her service was highly professional. It was a great gift and well worth the money.Moreexpand_more

I had a wardrobe consultation and shopping trip and I enjoyed every minute of it. I couldn't wait to start wearing my old clothes in a new way and my new clothes in the right way. Niki has made me feel confident and good about myself and showed me how to show off the best parts of me, which I didn't know I had at first. She made me feel relaxed and happy. She has a very professional and friendly air about her. The Wardrobe report is brilliant, top tips, do's and don't and even a CD of me, reminding me how to wear my clothes right. Thank you for such a great gift.

Really impressed with Nikki's service and I now have lots of clothes that make me feel younger and more confident. I contacted Nikki because I'd got into a horrible rut and ended up with a wardrobe full of black and grey clothes that I hated wearing. I don't like shopping at the best of times, but as a busy mum I felt like I just didn't have the time and inclination to get to the shops. My particular bug-bear is trousers and getting them to fit. Nikki visited me at home before taking me shopping and I found her non-judgemental, really positive and assured me that it wouldn't be difficult to sort me out. What really struck me when we went shopping is how efficient it all was and now I came home with bag-fulls of clothes in record time! Nikki knows so much about the sizing of different brands that I didn't have to try on many items to get a good fit - even jeans and trousers. Also, Nikki got me to try things on in different combinations that I had confidence that the things I was buying would be good value. What can I say, it was a really positive experience, I'd definitely recommend her and I'll certainly be using her again when I need a bit of help and inspiration.Moreexpand_more

What a pleasure it was to experience a personal shopping trip with Niki. She has an excellent eye for colour, shapes, styles and outfit combinations. I managed to find a whole range of great items for my wardrobe that will allow me to create a wide range of stylish outfits. Thank you so much. Nicki.

I was bought a voucher for a consultation and shopping trip with Niki and I was so nervous and hate shopping so much that it took me a year to pluck up the courage to use it. However, Niki was so kind and patient and encouraging that she made me feel completely different about the whole experience. She was completely professional when I showed her my appalling wardrobe and then went and selected some gorgeous clothes for me to try on in lots of different shops up at The Mall. She found things which I would never have tried on but which made me feel absolutely great and I have a whole new selection of clothes now so that I no longer feel ashamed of how I look. Niki did so much more than just take me shopping; she made a major difference to my self-esteem and has made me walk much taller! Thank you Niki! I would definitely recommend this experience even to those suffering from shopping phobia! I had ended up in tears on previous trips but this trip I really enjoyed!

Time with Niki on sorting out your wardrobe is time and money well spent. I have constantly worn the pieces she suggested I buy, and I discovered a whole new approach to dressing up and dressing down. Niki's approach is tailored to your needs, big budget or small, she can pinpoint what you need in your wardrobe. I have no hesitation in recommending her as a Personal Stylist. S Rackard.

Niki took me shopping for a morning at Cabot Circus and it was absolutely fantastic. We started at House of Fraser where Niki had already picked an entire wardrobe worth of stuff, which was waiting for me to try on in the personal shopper room. It is a credit to Niki's skill that I loved pretty much everything she had picked, and the methodical way we tried the different combinations of things was great. As a 30-something dad, clothes shopping is something I haven't been able to successfully do for some time, and my time with Niki taught me a lot. I can't recommend highly enough.

Niki did a session for the students at my school, those about to move into the 6th form and abandon their school uniform. Niki and I spent a good while discussing the dress code they had to adhere to and we met a couple of times for me to cast an eye over the outfits she had pulled together for the students. Everything was completely appropriate and passed the critical eye of 70 16 year old girls - no mean feat, I can promise you. Niki came into school and gave them a talk on how to dress smartly whilst maintaining a fashionable and individual edge. My students adored her and having sat in on the talk, I learned plenty too. In fact, I went shopping the next day and bought some of the items she had suggested and I've lived in them since (excellent cost per wear! ). We will definitely be inviting Niki back next year to do a similar talk to the next group of students. Jacklyn Lowe, Red Maids'School.

I engaged Niki's services as due to a skin disorder I had become stuck in a rut. Niki made me feel completely as ease and identified clothing that allowed me to feel not only confident as it hid the bits I was embarrased about but also made me look feminine, sexy and 'polished'. She is constantly seeking to suit your needs and met the 'quirk' factor I was looking for. She is brilliant and I couldn't advocate her services enough! I would definitely recommend friends and family.

My children bought me the best Mothers Day present ever, a 4 hour wardrobe consultation with Niki in my own home. My problem was not a lack of clothes, quite the opposite in fact, and I was worried that 4 hours would not be long enough! I was really prepared to throw away anything that did not fit or did not suit my body shape. She got me to try on everything in my wardrobes, advising me what should be disposed of and helping me to find different ways of using the same outfits, but to a much better effect. She took photos of the outfits to remind me of what suited me best. At the end of the session, despite throwing items out, I still owned 26 pairs of trousers! The following week, she sent me a very comprehensive report on everything we she did and it was full of great tips on how to make the most of my best features. It identified things I was lacking,mainly accessories, to help me create a truly great set of clothes. I also received an email with links to lots of outfits which could be added to my wardrobe at a later date. She helped me to understand what clothes are good for my shape and those I should avoid, so in future I will not have a collection of things which do not suit me. I will probably take her up on her offer to accompany me on my next shopping trip!My session with Niki, was like having my very own Gok Wan (but without the film cameras), and I would certainly recommend her to anyone who is need of a fashion makeover.Moreexpand_more

I spent 4 hours with Niki at first in my own home and she went through my existing wardrobe, putting together outfits and advising me of clothes to get rid of. Initially I was a bit worried she might just say 'get rid of it all! '. But she was so lovely and put together clothes I would never have thought of. She took photos of the outfits and identified any gaps in my wardrobe. The following week, we met to go shopping and she had already been before and sourced all the clothes. So I just turned up and had a great 3 hours trying on all the clothes and putting together new outfits. Niki also wrote a report for me, detailing my wardrobe needs and giving me advice on my style. I didn't really know what to expect when I first met Niki. But I have to say it was one of the most positive experiences of my life. My self confidence was very low before and with each new outfit that she chose for me, I could feel my confidence growing and growing. She really listened to what I said about my lifestyle and her choice of clothes for me was so spot on.She also taught me which shops were good for my shape and which ones to avoid. I now have the confidence to go shopping and find clothes that I know will suit me.I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who, like me, got a bit lost and overwhelmed by all the different shops and styles out there.Moreexpand_more

Niki is a genius with a wardrobe. I'm a reluctant clothes shopper to say the least but Niki made the experience a lot of fun. I learnt a lot about what clothes suit me as well as learning more about myself. The following day a friend saw me and commented on how smartly I was dressed. He said that I looked like me but more so, and that's exactly what I wanted to achieve. If you are a reluctant male clothes shopper like myself I couldn't recommend Niki more highly - you'll really enjoy the experience.

I had a wardrobe consultation followed by a shopping day with Niki. I have spent the past 7 years having 3 kids so my body shape had changed considerably and the contents of my wardrobe varied hugely. She helped me have a thorough detox of the wardrobe, sometimes revealing items that I wasn't wearing any more that I could now wear, learn how to mix and match different outfits and accessorise them and learn how to dress for my body shape. The shopping trip helped me fill a lot of the gaps in the wardrobe and has given me the confidence to shop again. She brings a huge knowledge of what's available where, how to look the best you can for your body shape and gives you all sorts of advice along the way. Thoroughly recommended.

I can't recommend Niki enough after our shopping trip last week. As most blokes, I suppose, I find "retail therapy" stressful and difficult to make decent decisions due to lack of knowledge and the vast choice out there. Niki has a really pleasant manner, and makes the job a lot easier because she short-lists items for the day having been out previously. She clearly has a great eye and I found it very difficult to say no to any of her picks. She listened well to what I wanted, and the clothes fitted much better than what I was used to. Now I have an idea of styles that suit and which shops have lines that suit me best. So a lot more confidence. Really excellent work Niki, thanks!

Niki is a thoroughly professional, friendly young lady who provides an excellent, value for money service. I felt very at ease in her company from the start. She takes time and patience to find out what you are hoping to achieve from your consultation and to understand you. She clearly has her clients' interests at heart and I would warmly recommend her services to anyone who feels they have lost their way a little with their wardrobe and need some professional, friendly and supportive advice. Thank you Niki.
