Out of the Closet

La Coterie Style Studio

Are you a Charming Diplomat? A Free Spirit? Or maybe a Cool Intellect?

Wardrobe guru Teresa Gay may just be able to help you figure it out. The owner of La Coterie Style Studio in Noe Valley uses a personal style assessment quiz, developed by Linda Buckman, to identify your fashion sense.

Armed with an impressive collection of threads (Paola Frani, Vince, MaxMara, James Jeans) and a keen eye, she’ll work with you to create your ideal wardrobe with an array of personalized services, such as after-hours appointments and evening style workshops. If you want more one-on-one attention, spring for the closet assessment ($100 an hour) and bring in samples from your wardrobe for diagnosis.

By the end of it, not only will you have a jazzy wardrobe, you’ll have a better sense of who you are.

Just don’t be surprised to find out you’re more of a Shining Star than you thought.

La Coterie Style Studio, 3961A 24th Street, between Noe and Sanchez Streets (415-789-5391).
