Style counsel: Revive your wardrobe with Enclothed

Do you find yourself buying the same pieces of clothing, over and over again? The same style of shirts from the same few high-street shops?

Enclothed, an online personal shopping service, could be just the thing to coax you out of a sartorial cul de sac.

You begin by answering a few questions about your tastes and habits – and letting your stylist know how adventurous you're feeling. He or she will then pick out a range of items from more than 40 high-end brands.

It's up to you how prescriptive you want to be: you can request an outfit for a particular occasion, specify cuts and colours, or leave it all to the experts. Most of what arrives by courier in a neatly packed box will be tailored to your existing preferences, but a few items might send you in a new direction.

You have five days to try everything on – plenty of time to decide you will risk those scarlet jeans after all - then you box up anything that didn't take your fancy and it's collected and returned. You pay only for the items you keep; delivery and collection are free.

The Week Portfolio set Enclothed the challenge of breathing life into the wardrobe of a tired old editor – and the service passed with distinction.

An array of muted shirts and jumpers blended perfectly with his existing attire, but there were a few surprises too. One pair of jeans was a touch too skinny, but a quilted Scotch and Soda jacket ticked all the boxes: stylish, versatile and a perfect fit.
