Well, you can now take advantage of their personal stylists expert advice from the comfort of your own home, and what’s more, the service is free!

How does John Lewis' personal styling service work?

Expert Personal Stylists from the John Lewis Style Studios are offering virtual video call appointments via Instagram. Perfect for those who have found themselves with extra time to declutter, organise their wardrobes, or perhaps readdress their style.

They’ll also give you tips on everything from working from home style to decluttering with confidence.
