I’m Lakyn, The Ethical Stylist

Because style should do no harm.

What on Earth is an ethical stylist?

Approaching fashion ethically is twofold: it is, of course, in how you consume clothing, but it goes much deeper than that. It lives in how you see yourself, how you define style, and how you refuse the narrow standards fashion has handed you about how you “should” dress for your body or your age. As your Ethical Stylist, I am here to dismantle those rules with you. We will reject the pressure to chase trends that do not move you or serve your life. As we shop together, we’ll prioritize quality from brands local to you, who are doing the work to operate sustainably and responsibly. Let’s build a wardrobe where every piece honors the Earth, respects its makers, and reflects the best version of you.

People are saying…

  • Lakyn helped me figure out a style I've been looking for for a long time. She knew exactly what to do with my instructions and I had a ton of fun. In the end, we got exactly what we needed in the time allotted and on-budget! Also, my wife loves the looks, so that's a plus!!

  • I loved Lakyn's Wardrobe Workup service, it helped me see my own clothes with new eyes and find new use for some pieces I'd had for a while and wasn't sure how to wear. Definitely recommend!

  • Lakyn is a joy to work with and helped me see my wardrobe and even the simple act of getting dressed in a completely new way! Thank you so much!

  • Super useful session! In addition to getting a great wardrobe revamp (I can finally say a guilt-free goodbye to some items I've been holding onto for way too long), Lakyn gave me some practical tips for styling that I could put into practice right away--and I can already see what a big improvement they make! She really knows what she's doing! And the whole session was relaxed and fun, while still getting it all done. Strong recommend.

  • Lakyn was a great help! My clothes stopped being fun to wear a few years ago and I'd settled into a rotation of things that fit well enough but that I dreaded wearing. I couldn't find any stores that made things in my size or my style, and I was having a hard time even figuring out what my style was other than not what they were selling. Lakyn immediately zeroed in on what I liked and what I was missing and the result is an incredible personal moodboard full of great style inspiration and links to stores I've never found in all my solo hunting. I can't wait to rebuild my wardrobe with what she put together!
