The only problem is most people who need/want a personal shopper are not willing to pay for it. Plus you would need a pretty big client base to sustain yourself as a living

It would be hard to price the service properly to attract that biggest group of shoppers, the not style obsessed but still care enough to want to pay for it. Like me I guess.
Also one of the issues is finding the right price point for shoppers. Just look at the free advice given here. Much of it is so vague. "buy clothes that fit" is one of the most common pieces of advice ITT and that is so hard to get right.
I haven't gone thru every post but very few of the people who have provided extensive advice have given advice on where to shop and even fewer have provided names/links of specific brands/styles to shop for. All the advice is about getting the "right" clothes but very little explicit advice on how to do that. And sometimes, looking in your direction peter, the links are for clothes that most people would never pay that much for.
Actually, there's an untapped market for Calgary based clothiers to join CP and low key advertise by recommending stuff from their store.
