If you’ve got a strong sense of your own style, and you’re regularly looking at outfits on other people and mentally putting a better one together, have you ever thought about trying to commercialize your natural talent? You’ve clearly got an eye for fashion, so why not turn it into something that makes you money? 

There are many ways you can do this, but it’s up to you to find the right job that caters to this innate sense you have. In the meantime though, we’ve got some ideas you can try out below. 

Start Marketing Yourself as a Consultant

A lot of fashion stores run by those truly passionate about style offer consulting sessions to anyone who needs a hand in designing their wardrobe. But whether you want to run your own online boutique or not, if you’re a keen fashionista and have long been curating your own look (with all the photos to prove it!), think about selling yourself as a fashion consultant. 

Take on clients who have no idea about the way they look and put them together. Give them all the right style tips they need, provide service with a kind word and a smile, and even consult over Zoom for anyone outside of your local area. You’ll soon have a very strong portfolio to display to the world! 

Sell Pieces You’ve Put Your Own Stamp on

One great way to commercialize your eye for fashion is to buy pre-made clothing and put your own mark on it. Plain t-shirts, for example, can usually be easily bought and modified. From embroidery to screen printing and anything in between, you can come up with some super stylish and casual items to then sell on through your store. 

Of course, you will need to be careful about where you get the items you’re customizing. You can buy wholesale dresses in bulk with the idea of adding a unique design of some kind to each, but you need to be careful about what labels the clothing comes with and whether or not it’s been made with materials or methods that are someone else’s intellectual property.

Run a Social Media Account

Fashion influencers are very popular on social media. You could be one of them if the idea takes your fancy! If you have a style you would like to share with the world, get on social media and build a community. 

You could upload various posts, such as tips on finding great bargains, what to wear on vacation, or advice on finding your style and making sure you’re comfortable in it. This kind of post diversity will keep the content coming for months to come! 
You may need to get used to recording yourself, but once you have an engaged community around you, brand deals, sponsorships, and PR packages could be fast on the way.

If you’re a fashion entrepreneur in the making, put your skill to good use through career paths like these.
