A Personal Shopper works in retail clothing stores or with private clients to assist with the selection of clothing, jewelry, and design items. They work with their customer’s budget to select clothing for a complete wardrobe or a special occasion. A background in fashion is preferable, since Personal Shoppers need to be up-to-date on trends and can offer advice on styles. Some Personal Shopper jobs refer to work outside of fashion and are positions to assist homebound or busy clients to shop for things like groceries, beauty products, or household items.
