IN PARTNERSHIP: There’s a strong chance you’ve already heard of Wear That by now. Perhaps you’ve seen the brand’s catchy reels on Instagram, or maybe you’ve seen their iconic pink boxes flying around the city.

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

Back in 2018, Heidi Shara Armstrong, dreamt of a world where everyday women could have their own personal stylist, just like the immaculately-dressed A-listers we double tap on Instagram. But with an extensive background in Fashion Buying and a keen eye for trends, Heidi knew that accessible styling services were hard to come by for the average woman.

Embarking on a mission to make this dream a reality, and armed with her experience in luxury and mass markets, Heidi decided to create a platform that would bring personalized styling experiences to #realgirls everywhere.

With a decade-long career as a womenswear Buying Manager, Heidi had worked across the globe, from the fashion capitals of London and Paris to the exotic lands of China, India, and Italy. But now, it was time to revolutionize the way people shop in the dazzling city of Dubai, and so, Wear That was born –  in Heidi’s Dubai apartment no less.

WHAT IS WEAR THAT?

Wear That is a tech-savvy, data-driven wonderland where real-life personal stylists dance with innovative technology. It ensures that every client receives a highly personalized styling experience tailored to their unique needs, preferences, and body type. With the help of data analysis and advanced algorithms, Wear That curates boxes of looks that make the receiver feel comfortable and confident. It’s a whole new way to shop that takes the stress out of mall trips and the worry out of what to wear.

From its humble beginnings in Heidi’s apartment, the Personal Styling service quickly cast its spell, catching the attention of the fashion-savvy and attracting the support of Chalhoub Greenhouse, who nurtured the business and helped it grow. News of the ultimate styling solution spread like wildfire across the UAE, leading to the expansion of delivery services to all seven Emirates. Before they knew it, Wear That had opened its very own office space and styling salon in Dubai Design District.
