In celebration of our glow up competition (check it out) we caught up with Dubai-based personal stylist Leisha Naik to chat all things fashion, renting, and building a wardrobe that truly reflects personal style.
Whether you're looking for a summer clear out or simply feel like your closet no longer represents you, Leisha's approach is all about realigning your style with your current self and selling or renting out pieces that no longer serve you.
From wardrobe detoxes to styling hacks, here's what Leisha had to say about her styling journey..
What made you start your personal styling journey?
“I just love dressing people,” Leisha says. “I see clothes and I’m on auto, putting outfits together in my head. I also love the feeling of showing someone how good they can look, and the confidence that comes from that.”
What does your wardrobe detox process look like?
“The detox is like an offloading of overwhelm, and an onboarding of confidence and knowledge,” Leisha explains. “We try on your wardrobe, we get rid of what doesn’t work, and I teach you how to dress to impress!” It’s more than a clear-out - it’s a mindset shift and a style reset all in one.
How do you bring a client’s style vision to life?
Leisha knows that inspiration doesn’t always translate - especially when replicating someone else's look. “Lots of people love what others wear and try it, but it doesn’t work for them. I show them tweaks, like wider-leg trousers or high-waisted styles - so they keep the look they love on Instagram but make it work for themselves.”
What role do you think rental plays in building a timeless wardrobe?
“I’m a big believer in creating new looks from what you already have. And not just buying without thought,” she says.“So when you have the ability to rent your wardrobe also, it still gives you a chance to try new things, without aimlessly spending.” It’s a sustainable, low-commitment way to evolve your style - without overcrowding your closet.
Which pieces do you usually suggest clients let go of, sell or rent out?
“Let go of items that don’t fit!" Leisha explains. “Please don’t keep items there in the hope they will work for you again. Your wardrobe should be inviting and make you feel amazing. Rent that stuff out and make some money.”
Leisha's approach to styling goes beyond clothes - it’s about rediscovering confidence and embracing who you are now. Her warm, intuitive methods empower women to stop settling for “good enough” and instead dress with intention and joy, a mission that is perfect in sync with our circular values at endless.
This month, we're giving you the chance to win a 1:1 wardrobe detox session with Leisha - the ultimate step toward rediscovering your style and feeling amazing in your clothes. See more details here.
