Personal Styling • NYC

Pack Less.
Wear More.
Feel Like Yourself.

Tell me where you're going, how long, and what's on the calendar — dinners, a boat day, one big night out — and I'll build you a styling board where every piece earns its spot, works with your colors, and fits in a carry-on.

The Story

The Story Behind By Avanti

By Avanti is a personal styling service in NYC, built around one thing I've spent years figuring out: how to make a small number of pieces go a long way. The resale find, the one skirt you can wear five ways, the color that suddenly makes everything click. Styling for trips is where all of that comes together — a real constraint, a real calendar, and a suitcase that has to close.

Clothes have been part of my working life for a long time, not just a passion. I've styled at Free People and at Eberjey. By day I'm a tech consultant for Fortune 500 clients across consumer goods, finance, and media, and I'm a Growth Fellow at Pickle — the peer-to-peer app where people rent clothes straight from each other's closets. Which is a fancy way of saying I spend most of my time thinking about how people actually get dressed. It's why friends turn to me, and to my closet, for every wedding, trip, and big night on the calendar.

The thread through all of it is the same: I love helping people look and feel like the most confident version of themselves. You send me the trip or event, and I'll send you back something you'll actually want to wear.

The Stylist

Meet Avanti

I've spent years figuring out how to make a small number of pieces go a long way: the resale find, the one skirt you can wear five ways, the color that suddenly makes everything click.

Clothes have been part of my working life for a long time, not just a passion: I've styled at Free People and at Eberjey.

By day, I'm a tech consultant for Fortune 500 clients across consumer goods, finance, media, and tech.

I spend most of my time thinking about how people actually get dressed. It's why friends turn to me, and to my closet, for every wedding, trip, and big night on the calendar.

There are a few other sides to me:

  • I teach yoga.
  • I'm an avid hiker.
  • I run events around the city.
  • I mentor women from low-income backgrounds on the design, brand, and business fundamentals to build something of their own.

The thread through all of it is the same — I love bringing people together and helping them feel like the most confident version of themselves.

Styling for trips is where it all comes together: a real calendar, a real suitcase, and something you'll actually want to wear.

Services

Six ways to work together.

I

A Few Looks

A few looks (styling fee starting at $50): a handful of outfits for a weekend, one event, or a date you want to get right. Styled to mix, with where to shop or rent each piece.

II

Full Trip Capsule

The full trip capsule ($50–$250, quoted by scope): a complete multi-day wardrobe where everything mixes and fits in a carry-on, plus a color read, a color story, and a full piece list with where each item's from. Best for weddings, trips, and longer travel.

III

Whole Closet Styling

A closet edit, fresh pairings from what you already own, and the gaps worth filling (and where). Ongoing if you want it.

IV

Color Analysis

Color analysis (included with every board): a quick read so the palette works on you, not just on the hanger.

V

Rentals

Rentals through Pickle, Nuuly, BNTO, and more: the pieces you love from a board can be rented instead of bought, so you're not buying a whole outfit for one wedding. Rent-only is welcome.

VI

Shop-to-Your-Budget Sourcing

You set the clothing budget (per piece or total, separate from my styling fee) and I shop and pull to it, resale finds included. Styling around your own closet — send me what you already own and I'll build looks around it wherever I can. I'll always try my best to work with pieces you already have.

How It Works

A quiet, considered process.

  1. 01

    Tell me where you're going.

    Where you're going, how long, what's actually on the calendar, sizing, clothing budget, and your personal style.

  2. 02

    I build your styling board.

    Every piece earns its place. Everything mixes. Works with your colors. Fits inside a carry-on.

  3. 03

    Shop or rent.

    Buy pieces, or rent them through Pickle and other rental platforms. Send rentals back after the trip.

Pricing

Simple Pricing.

Styling Fee
$50–$250

Pricing scales with the scope of your trip.

You decide your clothing budget separately, whether per piece or total.

Every recommendation is sourced to fit your budget.

No hidden fees.

Portfolio

A lookbook, not a shopping list.

A glimpse into the trips, color stories, and wardrobe capsules I've created. Every styling board is thoughtfully designed around a real itinerary, personal style, and pieces that work beautifully together. The complete styling boards remain exclusive to booked clients.

Case Study 01

6 Days in Marbella

29 PiecesEverything Mixes

A sun-warmed palette of clay, olive, and washed cream — built around long lunches, one boat day, and a rehearsal dinner. The board leans on foundational separates that layer up as the sun drops, with a single statement piece for the wedding itself. Everything folds flat; nothing repeats.

Case Study 02

Hamptons Capsule

24 PiecesOne Carry-On

Salt, linen, faded navy, and a whisper of coral. Three-day weekend structured around a beach lunch, a low-key dinner, and a black-tie evening. Every piece re-pairs at least three ways, so a single change of shoes reads as a completely different look.

Rental Resources

Rent instead of buy.

The pieces you love from your styling board can often be rented instead of purchased.
