Redefining Style in Philadelphia

Hi Philly! I’m Heather, the founder of Style Shyft, and I’m thrilled to introduce myself and this exciting new journey to you. Style Shyft is more than a styling service—it’s a mission to help you feel confident, empowered, and truly yourself through the clothes you wear. But first, let me share a little about how this all started.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved fashion. But my personal journey with style hasn’t always been easy. As someone who has shopped at a size 24, a size 8 (and every size in between), I’ve experienced the unique challenges of finding clothes that fit—and fit well—at every size. Beyond the limited options for plus-size shoppers, I’ve seen how people treat you differently based on your size, and how that can impact your mindset and confidence. It’s a reality that shaped my approach to style and inspired me to create Style Shyft.

My professional journey has also prepared me for this moment. I’ve spent years working with people in the Travel and Design industries, where I honed my skills in understanding individual needs, creating meaningful experiences, and embracing creativity. These experiences have shaped my ability to connect with people and bring their unique visions to life—a skillset that translates beautifully into helping clients discover their personal style.

Sometimes, you just need the honest opinion of a friend—the kind of friend who will say, “Just because it fits, doesn’t mean it fits.” I think we can all benefit from an unbiased, truthful opinion when it comes to style. Everyone deserves to have their own unique style, but sometimes you just need a little help finding it. That’s the role I want to play for my clients. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing someone look at themselves in the mirror and truly love what they see. That spark, that nod of confidence—that’s what it’s all about. My goal is to change the way you see yourself by providing supportive, honest, and tailored styling experiences that help you discover your best self.

What is Style Shyft?

At Style Shyft, it’s not just about finding clothes; it’s about finding yourself in the process.

Why Philadelphia?

Though originally from New York, Philadelphia is now my home, and I couldn’t think of a better place to start this journey. Fun fact: I love Philly so much, I even have Ben Franklin wallpaper in my bathroom! From its vibrant neighborhoods to its unique sense of style, Philly is full of people who inspire me every day. There are so many hidden gems all over the city, and you can pull inspiration from almost anything—all you have to do is envision it. I’m here to bring something new to the community—a personalized approach to fashion that’s honest, inclusive, and empowering. Style Shyft sets itself apart with size inclusivity, honest feedback, and confidence-building services designed for everyone, no matter where they are in their style journey.
