Discover your style

Styling & Shopping for Men & Women

Let us help you discover your own unique, personal style — one that works with your lifestyle and your budget. A collaboration that gives you the confidence to style your existing wardrobe, or helps you purchase the best pieces for you. Ministry of Style offers contemporary, fashion-forward, individual style for women, men and non-binary.

We offer personal shopping across a mix of new, contemporary and classic Auckland fashion stores. If you’re looking to bring sustainable options into your wardrobe, Ministry of Style is a huge proponent of vintage and second-hand fashion too — I have a knack for styling vintage treasures cultivated through years of wearing and collecting myself, reimagining old silhouettes in a modern, interesting way. Take a look at the vintage style guide further down the page, and my dedicated page for commercial, video and editorial styling.

To help get an idea of your fashion requirements, we’ve created a questionnaire to fill in before your initial consultation. The more we know beforehand, the better — it helps tailor your shopping experience and save you time. All information is private and never shared.

Testimonials

“I had been unhappy with my wardrobe for some time and I used Jacqui’s Wardrobe Audit Services to help me come up with new outfits with what I already had. She helped me achieve this without spending a fortune. Jacqui really knew how to put pieces together to create a whole new look, combining new and vintage. I used to wear trousers all the time, but now I feel great in dresses and skirts, both vintage and new. She has also taught me the power of accessories — how a belt or a bag can transform an outfit into something truly unique.”

Joanna Mathers, Writer

“Jacqui took me shopping for a special awards event that I had to attend. I wanted to look my best but was so busy I couldn’t find anything to wear in such a short time. She did her research and we spent a couple of hours looking at outfits within my price range. We found a wonderful outfit that I feel a million dollars in. I would not hesitate to recommend Jacqui for any event or styling experience.”

Belinda Gregg, Business Owner

“The shopping trip with Jacqui was fantastic. She saved me time and took away the stress and confusion of shopping alone and we found some great pieces to complement my current wardrobe. I felt Jacqui looked at all possibilities to find the appropriate pieces for my age and body shape. Thanks again for the great help, I would certainly use her again.”

Barbara Smith, Editorial Assistant

“I highly recommend Jacqui’s service. She’s professional yet warm and shopping with her was a lot of fun. She provides practical advice and is great at ensuring everything you buy is flattering yet versatile. The digital look book at the end is a fantastic way of not forgetting her pearls of wisdom.”

Samantha Vincent, Marketing

“Jacqui was a great find! Easy to work with, helping me update my wardrobe and style for my new job. I was confused about how to dress — casual or dressy? — but Jacqui nailed it, with a bit of both. She also helped me bring vintage pieces into my wardrobe. I highly recommend!”

Mark, 35, Promoter

Vintage Styling for Women & Men

With over 20 years of experience, I know the best places to shop and how to incorporate vintage and thrifted pieces into a contemporary wardrobe.

Vintage & Thrifted Shopping

A few of my favourite second-hand shopping destinations in Auckland — having an experienced eye with you helps find that showstopper piece.

Fashion Styling Commercial & Video

Archive and vintage pieces alongside new designer fits, styled for photo and video shoots with a touch of personality and originality.

Styling & Shopping for Men

If you’re looking to upgrade your wardrobe, Ministry of Style caters for all styles, shapes and looks — contemporary and vintage. Whatever your age, stage or budget, we can help you find a traditional suit, wear a casual blazer well, or bring some vintage cool into your wardrobe, with your own personal style guide or look book on hand.

Most men find shopping tedious and overwhelming, which is how wardrobes fill up with clothes that never get worn. A short consultation before we shop covers your lifestyle, work, social life, budget and the fit and colours that suit you, so the shopping itself is quick and easy. Business, casual, smart casual, offbeat or event dressing — I’ll help sharpen your look and leave you with clothes you’ll actually reach for.
