"My husband and I came to Dutch stuck in an early parenthood style rut.

While desiring to look better with less effort we struggled to understand what looked good on our frames while honoring our budget and season of life. His hilarious candor, encouragement to push our own boundaries, and eye for design made for a

spectacular styling and personal shopping experience!

From undergarments to accessories, he had an attainable suggestion for every part of our wardrobe and pulled perfect clothes for both of us! We walked away empowered about what sizes we should wear (turns out we were both in sizes too big!), what cuts flattered our bodies, and a new closet full of clothes we feel amazing in! Dutch has continued to be a hype man from afar and sends great suggestions he finds that he believes will suit us.

We can't wait to work with him again for our warmer weather wear!"

"I cannot recommend Dutch enough!

Before working with Dutch, I always wore oversized clothes because that's what I felt comfortable in. I never realized how much of a difference the right fit could make until Dutch helped me find clothes that truly complemented my body type.

I was especially nervous about dressing professionally for my student teaching internship, but Dutch took all the stress away. He put together an entire wardrobe that not only looks polished and professional but also m akes me feel confident and comfortable every single day. The advice that Dutch gave me during our session was also incredibly helpful, and I take it with me whenever I go shopping because I know now what really works to compliment my body and my style!

Dutch has an incredible eye for fashion and a genuine passion for helping people feel their best. The experience of being styled by him was wonderful, and I would absolutely recommend a session to anyone and everyone!"

Veronica

"I enjoyed my session with Dutch so much! I'll admit, I was nervous and it was a really big deal for me to trust someone enough to let them in, especially in such a vulnerable area of my life. I went through a divorce a few years ago and spent a long time not feeling like myself. I would wear baggier clothes, styles that were not "me", because I didn't even know who "me" was anymore.

I didn't like my clothes, but also didn't know where to even begin. I followed Dutch on insta for a few months and thought - ok, this guy looks fun, knowledgeable, and I think I can work with him without feeling too stressed out.

The initial consultation was very informative and even fun! The shopping experience was incredibly helpful. Dutch showed me what cuts, sizes and styles look right on my body type. The first thing he said to me is "you are petite". This is something I did not know about my proportions and size! Turns out, knowledge is power...all his advice and tips have meant that I can easily go into a store and try on things that FIT and look GREAT.

Aside from the information and knowledge, Dutch is very kind (albeit straight forward - which I love) and makes you feel comfortable right away. The session was exactly the push I needed to feel like myself again and to start building the closet I want for the way I want to look. I highly recommend him - for all the things!"

"My first experience shopping with Dutch was wonderful! I didn't think he would be able to find anything that fit AND looked good on me. I go into the dressing room to see what he has picked out and the outfits are cute BUT they are sized smaller and not the"type/cut" that I normally wear. At that moment, I knew this shopping trip was going to be a bust but I tried on the clothes anyway.

The very first outfit I tried on was a pair of jeans and jean jacket. I desperately wanted jeans that looked good on me since jeans are mostly what I wear. I was so excited when I saw myself that I almost started crying. I could have left the store then and been so happy with that one outfit! Dutch knew exactly what cut of jean I needed to "fix" my problems. As I continued to try on the other clothes he chose for me (blouses, skirts, dress pants and jackets), I realized I have needed someone like Dutch all my life! In fact, my first experience shopping with Dutch was so successful, I scheduled another shopping trip with him a few months later and it was just as successful! I can't thank him enough for showing me what cut of clothes work on my body and what doesn't. He is AMAZING!"

"Let me talk for a minute about starting my year off right. No, it's not a fad diet or Dry January commitment... I'm referring to booking time with Dutch for a closet cleanout and personal shopping trip. Ok, so I actually started off 2024 when I met Dutch and gave myself the gift of a closet cleanout and personal shopping trip for my 35th birthday slightly later in the year, but let me tell you, it was hands down one of the best investments in myself that I made this year. My recommendation? YOU should start 2025 off by giving yourself the same gift!

Was my opening not enough? Ok, let me tell you more about my incredible experience. From the moment he stepped into my apartment, his warm, cheery demeanor put me at ease. Pulling out those pants you still hope to fit in one day and trying them on for a stranger can be scary, but this wasn't just about organizing clothes (or in my case finally getting rid of those pants I'd been holding on to for too long) - it felt like a conversation with a best friend who truly gets you.

He brought an expert eye to my closet and helped me rediscover pieces I hadn't touched in years while giving honest (but very kind!) feedback on what no longer worked for me, probably never worked for me or didn't honor who I am now. The way he explained style choices, from fit to outfit combinations, was so insightful that I saw my clothes in a whole new light.

And now, the personalized shopping trip. Let's just say I felt like a freakin' queen, y'all. Never in my life have I had that many pieces in a fitting room at once. He had clearly done his homework - and prepared pieces that were tailored to my style, needs, and budget. His eye for detail and understanding of what works for me was spot-on.

Could I gush forever? Yes. Am I exaggerating how awesome he is? Not one bit. Both experiences helped me rediscover confidence in my personal style. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and thoughtful approach made this such a fun experience. If you're looking for a personal stylist who's incredibly funny, skilled and friendly, I can't recommend Dutch enough!"

Victoria

"Working with Dutch was amazing. As someone who usually wears shorts and a t-shirt, I never gave my style much thought. Dutch helped me through everything step by step and gave me plenty of options ranging from casual to tailored. He was able to curate outfits that I would have never been able to put together by myself. He was very patient and walked me through different styles as well as how different pieces should fit.

It was a very eye opening experience and I was able to pick out several options that are now corner pieces of my wardrobe. Since the class, I have been able to shop with the knowledge he gave me. I highly recommend his services!"

Austin

"Dressing myself has never been easy after gaining some weight over the last few years. I struggle with body dysmorphia and always reached for oversized clothes to hide my curves. Shopping for summer clothes is a nightmare since I can't bury myself in layers.

Dutch has helped me gain my confidence back within my styling after my discovery shopping session.

This shopping experience allowed me to build a capsule wardrobe that fit my body type in all my power colors. Not to mention I looked put together from head to toe in the styling! From Dutch's guidance, I know what to look for when shopping and how to put it together.

At the start of the session, I was a bit reserved and shy. However, Dutch quickly got me out of my shell by being the ultimate hype man! He listened to my needs and provided many solutions. His expertise shined with his recommendations and I walked away with a wardrobe that I love. I would recommend Style by Dutch to anyone I meet and I would book another session!"

Brooke

"Last year I lost 60lbs. After living in my new body for about a year, I realized I had few clothes that fit and almost nothing that felt true to me. Then came Dutch.

At my initial consultation with Dutch, we spoke at length about my lifestyle, values, and body architecture.

Dutch helped me put words to my preferences and dislikes and understand why it was that I had certain reactions to certain styles. He showed me how articles of clothing should fit - we found out that I was wearing clothing at least 2 sizes too big!

After our consult, I received a comprehensive guide to my style with recommendations on what to look for in terms of fabric, cuts, and finishes. Now, I have a clear vision for my style and find I'm more selective when purchasing clothing, buying only items that honor my body. Whether you've had a body transformation, lifestyle change, or you've simply gotten lost among the fashion trends, you need to work with Dutch. The outcome is well worth the investment. I promise you won't regret it!"

Annalisa

"Dutch has been instrumental in changing how I dress. I have significantly more body confidence now that I know how to dress for my body shape & what colors are best on me.

I am a repeat customer. I have had my colors done and taken the style class so l also hired Dutch to find campaign clothes when I ran for an elected position. His choices were EXACTLY what I needed.

I hired him again most recently to source some new seasonal clothes for my closet. After I took a look at his finds I realized I really had a void of casual clothes in my wardrobe.

But with his help my closet will no longer have holes.

Now when I go to get dressed for work, casual life, or campaigning I have exactly what I need in flattering cuts & the perfect colors. I highly recommend Dutch. His expertise, attention to detail, and charming personality will change you just as much as they have changed me, for the better!"

Sara

"When it comes to closet cleanouts l often say "it's easier to have a disinterested third party come in and help you. Someone to motivate you to do it. Someone to literally or figuratively hold your hand and make decisions with you or for you about what stays and what goes". What did my client Caylin think?

"I would even swap the word "disinterested" with "nonjudgmental yet curious" - not once did you make me feel like you were disinterested! Quite the opposite, and your curiosity helped me get thoughtful about my clothes without ever once criticizing myself or my body. It felt liberating to think pragmatically about my wardrobe instead of pinching or prodding or staring at the parts of my body I sometimes wish were different. We removed 80 pieces in total!!! My closet feels completely new. Its crazy. It was worth every dollar and minute to feel the way I do about my closet now, and we haven't even gone shopping yet! Thank you again!"

Caylin

"Having Dutch come do a closet clean out and take me shopping was one of the greatest things I could have done for my confidence. As a mom to a young child, it is easy to put myself last and not put as much effort into how I look as I once did. We did an initial pass through my closet to double check that what I had worked for me, and then dug deeper to find items that were not serving me anymore or items that just needed a little tweaking to fit me that much better.

It was eye opening to see how just a few little adjustments could drastically improve what I already owned.

Next up was a very fun day of shopping. Part of the reason I wanted to do a personal shopping day was to get out of my comfort zone. I wanted to try on things that I normally would not pull for myself. There are so many times I don't like the way something looks on the hanger so I don't even bother with it. This experience really opened my eyes to how different something could look on, and inspired me to be more open minded when shopping. I cannot recommend Dutch enough. Not only does he show you the clothing styles that look best on you, he make you feel so beautiful in the process."

Lexi

"My recent college graduate son Brice was starting an internship and needed some help finding work clothes. For most of his life he has lived in joggers and hoodies. While he owned a few nicer things to wear to work, I knew this was the perfect time to call on Dutch. I know Dutch previously from doing style class with him and Magan. At that time, I learned so much about what to put on my own body and things I hadn't ever considered when shopping for clothes. It was a real eye opener and has helped me tremendously in shopping for myself.

Brice is long and lean and finding clothes (dressier/work) that fit properly can sometimes be a challenge. Dutch was up for the task and did a room build out for him Dutch was able to show us what things to look for specifically when shopping for Brice.

And certain brands (specifically European brands) are very well suited to his body type.

We also found a couple great pair of shoes and found out his foot is quite narrow. Dutch found a pair of shoes that fit him perfectly (nothing has fit him as well since his lacrosse cleats apparently per Brice). Armed with this information, I was able to find Brice more items on my own that have fit him well.

Besides being so knowledgeable about clothes and styling, Dutch is just a super fun person to be around. He loves what he does and it shows. Brice, my non-shopper, had a great time with Dutch and truly enjoyed the experience. If you need some help in the finding out what works best for you and your body, look no further, Dutch IS 100% your guy."

Kacie & Brice

"What's my ideal shopping experience? From now on, if it's not shopping with Dutch, I don't want to be going.

I can't tell you the number of times that I went to Nordstrom for personal styling, felt amazing in the clothes that I was going home with, and then 3-4 months later, was wondering why I didn't love what I was wearing and felt like I was just wasting money.

The experience I had with Dutch was top notch. We had done virtual styling, but in-person really just takes the cake. He had multiple options pulled for what I was looking for and spent time with each piece showing and demonstrating to me why it worked for my body or why it didn't. There was one dress in particular that I put on and just said "nope!" and instead of saying okay, we walked through what would need to be changed to make it work for me.

Yes, we shopped at Nordstrom, but there was no pressure to walk away with any of the pieces, because Dutch doesn't make a commission. If I just wanted to browse and learn for 2+ hours, I could have done just that and he wouldn't have cared. He found pieces that truly worked for MY BODY, some that I definitely would NOT have chosen off the rack or online, and they were all well within my price range (plus a few that I could have splurged on, but decided to save for later).

He's teaching me how to shop intentionally so that I can stay away from "good" or "good enough" and spend my money on what's absolutely "perfect" for me."

"Letting someone into your closet can feel a bit vulnerable but I promise if you work with Dutch it will be so worth it!! During the initial assessment he will guide you through getting your feedback on certain looks and outfits so he can best understand you and the look you are aiming to achieve. He doesn't influence you but he asks thoughtful questions to make sure you are both on the same page when it comes to your style.

The real magic happens when you dive into your closet! Dutch pulls things for you to try on, talks you through exactly what works and what does not work for your body.

Spoiler: if it doesn't work it is the clothes, not you! He makes suggestions on how items might be tailored to better work for you. I was worried that I would be left with nothing to wear but I was so wrong! While we did eliminate a few things from my closet what I was left with were the things that fit me, and I feel good in PLUS the knowledge to shop for other clothes that highlight my best features.

I look forward to continuing to work with Dutch!"

Audra

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Dutch to find the perfect suit. As someone who wears the same outfit daily for work, I was feeling stuck in my clothing choices.

When my wife suggested that it was time for me to finally own a suit, I didn't even know where to begin.

I had no idea where to start or even know what was the best type of suit for me. That's where Dutch came in. He knew exactly where to start and made the entire process so much easier for me.

I know I didn't make it easy for him, but Dutch handled the challenge with ease. I not only found the perfect suit but also gained a better understanding of different styles and how to dress for different occasions. His expertise and attention to detail made all the difference, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.

I highly recommend Dutch to anyone in need of a suit or fashion advice. He is professional, knowledgeable, and truly goes above and beyond to ensure his clients are satisfied. Thank you Dutch for helping me look my best!"

Kyle

"I recently had the pleasure of hiring Dutch for a closet clean out, and it was truly a freeing experience. The process of decluttering my closet has made choosing outfits so much easier. Now, when I walk into my closet, I am no longer overwhelmed by the sheer amount of clothing I have. I know that everything in there is right for me and reflects my personal style.

Dutch did an amazing job guiding me through the process. He took the time to show me how each piece of clothing worked for me or didn't, and he provided valuable insights on how I could use the pieces I decided to keep to create multiple different outfits. His expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. What could have been a stressful and overwhelming task turned into an easy and comforting experience, thanks to Dutch. He made sure that I felt supported and understood my personal style and preferences. I am incredibly grateful for his guidance and expertise.

If you're looking to declutter your closet and create a more organized and functional space, I highly recommend hiring Dutch.

His professionalism, knowledge, and ability to make the process enjoyable are truly exceptional".

Tiffany

“After journeying through various life changes I found myself second guessing my style and fit in clothes, figuring it was safer to hide myself behind them than show any potential flaws. I'd try many items on but get frustrated when they didn't work for me. Tired and defeated with my own shopping attempts I reached out to Dutch for a virtual consult. He actively listened and addressed my concerns, enabled me to understand cuts and clothing lines that were better suited to a body like mine and fully supported me throughout my shopping experiences. Dutch is a wealth of knowledge and style and has helped me to have so much more confidence in the clothes that I wear. I'm grateful for his patience, understanding, and kindness. If you're on the fence about investing in yourself with Dutch's help I would encourage you to jump all in, you won't regret it! The only thing that could have made the experience even better would have been shopping in person with him!”

Amanda

"I went into working with Dutch not knowing what to expect. I love his style, but finding clothes that fit me--and I like-- has always been hard. Turns out, I just didn't know what I needed and Dutch helped me find that! I told him that I would try whatever he chose for me and that was eye-opening.

He pulled things that I liked and things that I didn't really like….. but told him I would try. Turns out, the things I didn't like were some of my favorite items! Thanks to Dutch, I can now "shop" my closet knowing that I love everything in there-- I love how it fits, I love how it looks, and I love how it makes me feel".

Jenna

"Working with Dutch is difficult to put into few words because the experience is all-encompassing. I gave him free rein to pull styles I may or may not have thought of; as I tried on each item, we discussed why it did or didn't work on my body (just trust him - even if the color isn't what you want - try on the clothes so he can break down all the elements for you). Dutch gave me a great understanding of what to specifically look for in the future as I shop, but he also gave me a lot of confidence in who I am and how to appreciate the body I have.

I walked away with clothes that I felt really excited about and happy to wear. Dutch's energy is contagious and his fashion/style knowledge is unmatched. He will build you up, help you feel amazing, and I guarantee you'll find pieces for your wardrobe you feel like a million bucks wearing".

Magan

"I booked back to back sessions with Dutch after finding him on Instagram.  I enjoy shopping and I like clothes, however, the boutiques I frequent have stylists who know more about the clothing than they do the client.  Dutch aims to know the person, their aesthetic, their shape, their goals, their personality, preference, and lifestyle in order to style them in congruence with those factors.  With his substantial background in textiles and tailoring, he understands the fabrics and cuts that will suit an individual.  His natural eye for anatomy and proportions allows him to recommend the best silhouettes that flatter and compliment.

First we had a Style Consult, where he gets to know you, your challenges and aspirations so he may fine tune how you want to present to the world that best communicates who you are.  He did a slideshow where I picked what looks I liked and didn't like and within a few slides he could accurately predict which ones I would be drawn to and which ones were not interesting to me as much.   He pays attention.

Right after the Style Consult, we did Shop Your Closet where he asked me to put on a few favorite outfits.  I learned I wore clothes that are too big because I want an oversized fit. He taught me there is oversized and there is ill-fitting; and you can achieve any look you want without compromising style.  What I enjoyed the most is the small details he pointed out that make or break an outfit but average people cannot spot it.  An example would be how the cap of a sleeve hits on your arm: even half an inch that bells out can change a whole look.  The afternoon was full of insight, laughter, honesty, and resolutions.

After that day,  I received a detailed follow up to our appointment that highlighted everything we discussed. He gave me recommendations for which brands and cuts would suit me best.  He helped enhance my own style preferences while not encouraging me to try new things.

Next I would like to do a room build out and have him pick the clothes for me.  I believe many people have a harsh and critical eye when it comes to themselves. We are our own worst critics.  Its worthwhile to have a clear and fresh perspective like Dutch'.  He will absolutely highlight the best of your features, and we all have so many good ones but aren't even sure what they are. In the end, it wasn't about clothes or fashion or trends, it was about confidence and feeling in control over what I project out.  The more accurately I represent myself, the more I feel understood by the world and those around me.  Dutch is fun, knowledgeable, observant, candid, and kind. My only regret is I wasn't able to extend the afternoon longer!"
