I’m Natalie Decleve, a Personal Stylist with 17+ years of experience helping clients build thoughtful wardrobes that make getting dressed easier.

My approach is personal, practical and holistic: less about chasing trends or buying more, and more about understanding what actually works for you, your body and your life.

Based in Connecticut and New York, I work with clients throughout Fairfield County, Westchester, NYC and virtually: worldwide.

I launched Natty Style with the intention of empowering clients from the inside out through style.

I started my fashion career in PR and sales for some well recognized designers. At first I loved it! And then… I didn’t. In 2009, I set out on my own to try dressing “real” people rather than models for photo shoots. Suddenly, fashion became a tool for building self-confidence rather than selling product. Bingo!

After more than 17 years as a Personal Stylist, I’ve learned that the best style isn’t necessarily about having more. It’s about knowing what works for you. Imagine opening your closet and knowing that everything there deserves its place. Imagine opening your phone moments before a big meeting to choose from a catalog of pre-styled outfits. Imagine rushing out the door to meet a friend, knowing that even your most casual outfit looks great.

That, is what we do.

Our lifestyles, personalities and body-types are all different—our style should be too.

My approach to styling is holistic. Before I start shopping, I want to understand the why. What isn’t working? What do you reach for again and again? Where are you wasting time, money or mental energy? And most importantly, how do you want to feel when you get dressed?

From there, we build a thoughtful wardrobe around your actual life—one that makes getting dressed easier, communicates what you intend, and leaves you feeling like yourself.

More recently, my love of creating personal, beautiful spaces has expanded Natty Style into home styling, too.

I have contributed to and been featured in Harpers Bazaar, BuzzFeed, Cosmo, W Magazine, Bon Appetit, Mind Body Green, Real Simple, A Hotel Life, Metro NY, SELF, Guest of a Guest and more.
