10 Things I’ve Learned About Men’s Shopping Sessions

Tali Katav • August 18, 2025

Aka how to shop with lightning speed and zero drama!

Shopping with men is a whole different game—and honestly, one of my favorite challenges. Over the years (and many fitting rooms later), I’ve noticed a few patterns that make men’s shopping sessions fast, funny, and surprisingly rewarding. If you’ve ever wondered what makes a men’s shopping trip successful, here are my top 10 takeaways:

1. Fast & Furious Shopping

Most men have a short shopping attention span. If I don’t move quickly, I lose them. Think speed dating—but with clothes.

2. Less is More

The goal is always a capsule closet. Every item needs to work together, creating endless combinations with minimal effort.

3. Fabric Obsession

Men love clothes that are breathable, wrinkle-resistant, and well-fitted. If it doesn’t tick all three boxes, it’s not making it home.

4. Style That Feels Effortless

The dream outfit? One that looks sharp but feels like you’re not even wearing clothes. Comfort in disguise.

5. Colors & Patterns That Upgrade Instantly

A hint of color or a subtle pattern can completely change the game—effortless style elevation without feeling “too much.”

6. Speedy Decisions

If it takes longer than two minutes to decide, the item’s out. Efficiency is key.

7. The Mirror Test

Men usually know instantly. One glance in the mirror—yes or no. No overthinking, no endless angles.

8. Comfort Is King

Shoes, shirts, pants—comfort will make or break every purchase. No exceptions.

9. Multipurpose Wins Every Time

One blazer that works for the office, date night, and the weekend? That’s a gold-medal piece.

10. They Actually Enjoy It

Here’s the secret: once men see how easy a functional, stylish wardrobe can make their lives, they’re all in.

Why This Matters

At the end of the day, shopping with men is about efficiency, clarity, and making style simple. The result? A wardrobe that works hard so they don’t have to—and a client who actually enjoys the process.

Moving into a new house is exciting, but let’s face it—setting up the kitchen can feel overwhelming. Recently, I had the pleasure of helping a client organize their brand-new kitchen, turning it into a space that’s not only functional but also a joy to use.

As parents, we want the best for our teenagers—especially when it comes to creating a space where they feel calm, inspired, and empowered. Recently, I had the privilege of working with a 17-year-old girl to transform her room and closet. It was more than just tidying up; it was about redefining her space to reflect her personality and support her growth. Why isn’t this a project to tackle with Mom or Dad? Here’s the thing: our teens see their rooms as an extension of their identity, and working with a neutral, non-judgmental third party creates a safe space to explore what they truly want to keep, let go of, or display. With parents, emotions can get tangled in the process, making it harder to create a space that is truly theirs.

For the past twenty years, I've had the privilege of working with incredible men and women, connecting with thousands of beautiful souls. My love for styling was never rooted in a passion for fashion or trends. Instead, it was always about people! About igniting a new, deeper spark of beauty and self-love within them.

When we moved to the US 12 years ago, it was clear that I had to find a way to maintain my clients in Israel. Two months into settling into a new country, I had already built an online process for my overseas clients. Over the years, the process developed, and clients joined from Europe and across the US. As you already know, I love sharing stories about my clients, so this time, meet Susanna.

Two years ago, I visited a gallery in Soho, NYC, and saw an exhibition by Ragnar Kjartansson about guilt and fear. Kjartansson, a renowned Icelandic artist known for his performance art and video installations, explores deep emotional themes through his work. This exhibition was a profound moment that clicked, connecting these emotions with our relationship to clothes and how we dress.
