How it Works
Saks Stylist is centered on making it easy for customers to express their individuality through fashion. Customers simply take a short quiz on saks.com, providing details about their personal style and shopping needs. Based on this information, the customer is matched with a personal stylist, who will reply with curated recommendations within 24 hours. Customers may provide feedback to their stylist who can then provide updated options accordingly. Once a relationship is established, the customer is able to re-engage their stylist for assistance at any time in the future.
Customers can take advantage of Saks Stylist in many ways, including:
- Finding new wardrobe staples, such as the latest in denim or outerwear
- Creating a full “look” for a wedding or special occasion
- Refreshing their wardrobe with seasonal, on-trend items
- Updating a look with new shoes, bags or jewelry
- Building a new outfit or a set of looks for an upcoming trip or new job
The service is available to all Saks Fifth Avenue customers and there is no minimum spend required to work with a stylist.
