Wardrobe Stylist and Fashion Consultant Jaclyn Patterson shares how she leads with service while keeping her principles at the core of her work. From luxury retail to launching her Style Club, Jaclyn reveals a realistic approach to “values-aligned” business: meet clients where they are, educate when it’s helpful, and offer accessible paths that honour both budgets and beliefs, without pressure or perfectionism.

Takeaways

• Serve first, teach when it helps: Jaclyn prioritizes client needs; she introduces sustainability as an invitation, not a requirement.
• Meet people where they are: Jaclyn creates options for different budgets and levels of support.
• Values are a compass, not a cage: It’s okay to flex or sequence your principles to best serve the client while staying authentic.
• Micro-actions matter: Small, consistent choices (care, re-wear, better fit) add up to meaningful impact.
• Design for longevity (business + wardrobe): Think long-term: avoid burnout, build systems, and focus on durable style habits.
• Community fuels momentum: Ongoing touchpoints (like memberships/masterclasses) help clients sustain progress.
• Joy is strategic: Enjoying the process keeps you resilient and aligned over time.
