Sample Outfits
Overview: This collection of outfits was originally created for an actual Poplin client using her new and existing pieces. After all, there’s no need to pretend you don’t already have clothes when it’s time to get something new. Ideally, these photos will help inspire you to create new outfits at home. We’re all about strategy here at Poplin. Each piece should mix and match with the majority of your wardrobe to simplify your life. Take a look at this client’s Uber Wishlist to see the items that I recommended for her to purchase and understand the approach to her authentic personal style.
Feel free to determine your body type and personal style key words to do your own shopping and hop on the email list for more ideas. The Poplin Pinterest Boards are super helpful, too! Want more personal attention? Check out the styling services.

Outfit Strategy: Poplin clients have the option of having the Traditional Outfit Session (during which I create outfits independently in her bedroom and photograph them) or a Collaborative Outfit Session (during which we create outfits together, sometimes even having her try things on, and photograph them). This is an example of a Collaborative Outfit Session. It isn’t as pretty, but it serves the purpose, which is to have easily accessible outfit photos for the client. This approach was essential for Ranya because she prefers neutral pieces that look similar to one another. Working in this way makes it easier for her to distinguish one piece from another and understand IRL what makes one combination work while another does not.
Heads up! These photos aren’t perfect. That’s because our focus is creating as many outfits as possible rather than having perfect photos. Fun fact: each outfit session occurs in the client’s bedroom, so that also impacts the final images. The takeaway here is progress not perfection, my dear. Create useful tools and don’t get hung up on unrealistic expectations. Have fun and get inspired!
