Julia Hayes, a 59-year-old company director, sought a style update as she approaches 60. She typically wears casual clothing for work and loungewear on weekends. She wanted to feel more put together. Stylist Jessica Carroll suggested a French technique called "le rappel." This method involves matching a color from a patterned item with other outfit elements. For Julia, they focused on the brown in her dress and coordinated accessories. Julia expressed satisfaction with her new outfit, particularly enjoying the coat for its smart yet comfortable feel.
